Researched this card to death, the rtx 3060 12gb, and this two-fan Zotec in partiular. Honestly I thought Zotec might be a bit crappy? Anyway, I've concluded that for a video editor, this exact card would be best "bang for your buck" at this price, and at this time. Better even than othe brands even though it's less expensive. It went out of stock for a while, and for good reason, now that it's back I don't need it. Hoping all my hours of obsessive research might help someone else. laugh out loud

Thank you. I recently picked a RX 6700XT for $250. I don't play games. I am upgrading for video editing. Is this better than the 6700xt I got ?

Zotac was the cope brand until everyone in 2021 was desperate enough to settle for them, and now the brand is normalized.

This versus Vega64? My son's been running the Vega for years in his system. Paired with the 5600x am4.

For sure especially if you're stuck in the Adobe Creative Cloud like me, where CUDA is heavily favored.

Anyone else able to price match with Best Buy or maybe B&H? Somewhere OTHER than newegg?

EDIT: Nevermind, doesnt look like anyone else even carries this card.

From one video I watched, this model has an overkill cooler.

Its 40 bucks more for a 4060 has 4gb less Ram but is faster offers better ray tracing DLSS 3 isn't available for 3000 series.

the boost clock is only 1867 MHz for a RTX 3060?
..... you can get a rx 6650 for $250 (or lower/less) and those have a core clock of around 2600 mhz

There is 0 reason to get an 6650xt when you can get a 7600 for the same price. Maybe we will see a bf sale on the 6650xt for like $200 which would be insane, but if the prices are within $30, the 7600 is the better card

Very capable 1440 card too. 8 gigs of vram is the only pitfall, but with fsr 2.2/3, the card will last a while.
