MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB 15 Gbps GDRR6 192-Bit HDMI/DP PCIe 4 Torx Twin Fan Ampere OC Graphics Card

it worked after i plugged it in and it was a boost in fps from my gtx 1650 and it ran cooler than my gtx 1650 too, and i got to push higher graphics in games because the gpu was stronger.

Picked up the RTX 3060 to replace my 10 year old GTX 1060 after it started ceasing & whining with black screen. The installation was seamless and Windows 11 immediately installed new drivers. New card is lightning fast and very quiet running. Very happy with quality & functionality.

sold it to get a 5060ti but it was well worth the money and exceeded all expectations worked perfect with amazing speed and quality

Smooth, Quiet, and Powerful – A Midrange GPU That DeliversThe MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 has been a rock-solid performer in my build. Installation was simple—slid right into the PCIe slot, and the included software made dialing in fan curves and performance profiles straightforward. I appreciate MSI’s Twin Fan design; the card runs remarkably cool even under load, and the fans stay whisper quiet during everyday use.Gaming performance is what really shines here. At 1080p, everything I’ve thrown at it runs flawlessly, and even at 1440p, it handles modern AAA titles with smooth frame rates when settings are balanced. The 12GB of VRAM gives some future-proofing, especially for newer games that are more memory hungry. Creatively, it’s also been useful—Adobe apps and 3D modeling software benefit from the extra horsepower.Build quality feels premium with a sturdy shroud and backplate, and despite being a larger card, it fit in my mid-tower case without issues. One thing to keep in mind is power: you’ll want at least a solid 550–600W PSU to support it comfortably.Bottom line: This RTX 3060 from MSI hits the sweet spot between price and performance. It’s quiet, efficient, and capable of handling both gaming and creative workloads with ease, making it a great choice for anyone upgrading from an older card.

I bought this graphics card to bring my old Alienware Aurora R4 (2014) into the modern era. I had recently upgraded to Windows 11, so it was time to get the PC gaming ready again. My previous graphics card was an AMD Radeon that only had 2GB of processing power, so this was a big step up.The Ventus installed easily and with no issue. I honestly expected it to be more difficult given some of the reviews I saw, but it ended up being very low effort to set up. It functions exactly as it should, and has had no issues with overheating.I have used it when playing Steam games like Final Fantasy XIV and Persona 5, and have had no issue with the graphics running very good settings and framerates in game. The Ventus can't keep up with the maximum graphics settings for games like Final Fantasy XIV with lots of very high quality resources, but it can run most games I've tried on high or high-medium graphics quality at 60 FPS with little to no issue.
