MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB 15 Gbps GDRR6 192-Bit HDMI/DP PCIe 4 Torx Twin Fan Ampere OC Graphics Card (RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G OC)

I am very happy with this purchase. I used to have a 1660ti and started to learn 3D modelling (blender). My old cpu only had 6gb of Vram which was an issue for software like blender. Needing to upgrade I did some research and decided the 3060 was the best budget gpu and I am confident that is true. Since upgrading I have noticed the design software no longer crashes due to memory issues (with 12gb of vram its doubled my capacity). The noise of the gpu is actually quieter than my previous too which was not a factor in purchase but a nice addition. I have yet to test performance on games that allow rtx but I am confident It will perform, given the demanding nature of blender.

This graphics card is a fantastic upgrade! It easily handles all my games at high settings with quiet and cool operation. I'm a very satisfied customer and highly recommend the MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 2X OC for a noticeable boost in gaming performance. And it works with 500 W power supply!

It's always tricky choosing hardware like this for Linux, so I thought I would share that this works perfectly on Linux Mint 21.3 x86_64 with no problems.

Perfect to upgrade my system and easy to install

An amazing upgrade from my previous graphics card but the price was a bit steep. This order arrived quickly.

Card installed in son’s PC and seems to be working OK. But this is clearly a second hand or previously returned product - which was not what we ordered. The packaging was scuffed and ripped and the rip had been taped up, and the anti-static foil bag on the card had been opened previously. My son saved his pocket money for a long time to buy this, a huge purchase for him, we’re both very disappointed with what arrived.

I purchased this card from this Company, luckily through Amazon, as it was a reasonable price and looked good quality. DHL rang me before delivery to say that there was over a £250 duty bill before they would deliver, that is over 35% increase in cost of this £699 card. I refused the delivery and told the Company to take it back. They told DHL to deliver again, which I refused, again. They point out that their Companies description does actually say that very rarely there may be a small amount of tax to pay on their items. I do not think over 35% increase in cost is small, so I argued and they refused to take back again. If you do buy from this company, just factor in that their very rare small taxes can actually be a 35% increase - I may have just been unlucky, but... To cut a long story short, I am now dealing with Amazon, who are being good, I have not received a refund and they tried to deliver again a couple of days ago.
