For anyone buying, this is an excellent and efficient ~8" long card for 1080p. If your monitor is 1440p, you want the 3060 Ti version. And if you have 4K needs, you want a 3080 or better (because of the greater onboard memory). But if you go for a 3080, make sure you have room and power for it--the faster triple-fan cards are 3 to 4 inches longer and require stronger power supplies.

EVGA has a 3 year warranty, basically as good as it gets for this sort of hardware.

Looking at some of the reviews, this doesn't look any faster than a 5600xt/5700xt card from 2 years ago with half the memory. Any other benefits? Have drivers matured much since these reviews to make the cards that much better than the AMD counterparts I listed?

Definitely not worth this price tag

GPU hierarchy: https://www.tomshardware.com/revi...,4388.html

5700XT would be about 5% faster and 5600XT would be about 10% slower. If you've got a 5600XT and can get a decent resell on it, it might be worth the swap to achieve a stable 60fps at 1080p and replenish warranty. Other than that, it's moving sideways or a slight downgrade, imo.

I've owned both the 5600xt and evga 3060. This card is much faster, plus has ray tracing and DLSS. I'm not sure where you find your hardware reviews, but mature drivers have little to do with the significant GPU architecture improvements of the rtx 30 series.

DLSS and way less buggy drivers than AMD cards

MSRP prices are coming in a few weeks or so. HOLD the line guys and don't give in to scalpers.
