Discussion Decided on my my new graphic cards…but it out of stock!

[Harry_Wild]

I want to buy the NVidia RTX 3060 TI Founders Graphic Card that was 1st releases in: December 2020!

Rumor has it that NVidia will improve and update this card with more VRAM and faster GDDR6X VRAM!

What do you think?

Will NVidia will releases new version of NVidia RTX 3060 TI Founders Graphic Card?

When do you think they will have it in the stores if they decide to improve it?

If not, will NVidia continue making the NVidia RTX 3060 TI still?

Will install after Intel 13th generation Raptor Lake is announced!

I would suggest installing it now, so you can at least verify it works in case you need to make a warranty claim.

He's not the only one that does this sort of thing. I've seen plenty of people stockpiling components over an extended period of time before putting them together to find out one or two of them were DOA and outside of the return period. Even worse when buying secondhand with no warranty. BB and other retailers have even shorter periods in which you can return and fees. Warranty RMA though should still be in place but, you have to deal with sending it in and waiting weeks or months to get it back in working condition. Some companies even want to charge you even more for the parts as one comes to mind when they sent a GPU on for a fan replacement they wanted to charge an absurd amount around $400 for the part or replacement. Not to mention paying shipping both ways insured adds up to ~$60 on top of the cost of the card.

More people do this than you would think though.

Okay I installed NVidia RTX 3060 TI Founders Graphic Card into my mini tower. It was a tight fit! Completely silent!😁👍 Does display webpages faster then my GTX 1050 TI too.

Is that some OEM case? Got the classic looking steel frame.

It is Lenovo P330 Workstation Mini Tower. I like Think products since IBM and never had any trouble with them until recently with an onboard ethernet that fail to work! Not sure if it a Windows 10 upgrade or Lenovo upgrade that cause it!

I planning next year around the same time to buy my 1st non Lenovo Corporate PC, a gaming computer with all the led lights and clear glass side cover!

I download GeForce drivers from NVidia and noticed that their installation software utility is very nice! Nice black and green image and has a very futuristic look about it! Reboot and been using it for a couple of hours now and made it look better, sharper colors and very solid image now! Prefect!

I second this. I recently returned a 3070 TI as DOA. I sent it back to the store I bought it from for full refund in my case instead of getting stuck with a refurbish card from the manufacturer (I paid "new" price, not "refurbished" price. If I wanted "used"/"refurbished" it should have had a $100 or more discount).

That installer has been like that for ages (I wouldn't call it modern) and I can guarantee you that there's zero difference in colours or image quality.

I have a 3060 in my laptop and it doesn't do web pages very well but the Intel Iris handles them great.

Have you tried confirming the slower performance with online web benchmarks?

It's not worth the time to figure it out when the igpu handles them fine. It's just a personal observation that the high end GPU does a crap job on remedial tasks.

Seriously 4000 are around the corner, you should wait and see what they bring to the table.

He won't be able to touch the performance of a 3060Ti for the price he payed with a 4000 series card. The 4060 won't even be purchasable until early next year, and its certainly going to be priced well above the current fire sale prices of 3000 series cards.

 

[DasFox]

Not sure what TI brands he’s looking at but EVGA, has the EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING in stock right now at $569.

Nothing fire sale about the 3060 Ti prices.

 

[DasFox]

Looking at EVGA’s 3060ti that 3070 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING is the same specs, but has a little more texture fill.

Better grab that one before it’s gone.

Intel’s Arc graphics cards have a warning label!
Glad I updated to a NVidia brand!
