Buying call

Buy an RTX 3060 card used if you want a 1080p card with 12GB of memory: reviewers liked the extra memory, low power draw, compact designs and Nvidia's feature set. Skip it if an RTX 3060 Ti costs a little more, because that card is much faster. Reviewers found it a modest upgrade over the RTX 2060, and it's now discontinued.
