Review Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition Review: Ampere for Only $399

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
FYI, the initial 3060 Ti review went up on December 1. It was a single monolithic page, for "reasons" related to our CMS and Google. We are now reposting the content in paginated form and redirecting the original article (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-founders-edition-review), which means no comments get carried over unfortunately. The text and charts have not changed, on any of the reviews. It's just a change in the presentation. The comments from the first version of the article can be seen here:

To coin an old phrase "vaporware" for all intents and purposes. At least until supply actually allows them to be in stock in numbers enough to bring the price down despite miners.

There are lots of cards available if you wish to pay scalper prices for them on ebay, etsy, stockx, gov group, craigslist etc....
All at 50-100% mark up from retail prices.
 
I just came across this "review" for the 3060 Ti.
It says, "The 3060 Ti breaks 60 fps at 1080p native, and DLSS can further improve its performance. At 1440p, DLSS Quality mode still manages a decent 67 fps, and the 3060 Ti continues to lead AMD's options."
I don't know what their talking about. I have a 3060 Ti and at 1080p ,even on High/Ultra settings, I get 144fps on most games. The lowest I've come across so far has been around 80fps. And even without DLSS at 1440p the frames are still around 80-100fps.
Not to mention that the 3060 Ti is not an AMD card. Maybe that's not what the author meant when he said, "the 3060 Ti continues to lead AMD's options.", but that's what that wording means. It means that the 3060 Ti is AMD's best offering. I'm just nitpicking, I know. But it matters. Especially if you're writing a lot of reviews and such.

Edit: I know I'm responding to a fairly old post, but the article that lead me here was one of the top recommendations when I searched for info on Google. So I figure, even if a post is old, it's still relevant if people are still being directed to it.

There are several issues with what you’re saying, mostly to do with reading comprehension. When I say the 3060 Ti “leads AMD’s options,” I obviously mean in the context of this review: the Nvidia 3060 Ti is ahead of AMD’s competing cards.

That also goes with the FPS metrics. If you play lighter games, you will get higher performance. The “67 fps” refers specifically to a game tested in this review. You quoted one specific sentence that refers to one specific game. That should be enough to give you context:

“Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War uses ray tracing effects for shadows, with a higher fidelity (and more demanding) result in the previous Modern Warfare (2019) reboot. The 3060 Ti breaks 60 fps at 1080p native, and DLSS can further improve its performance. At 1440p, DLSS Quality mode still manages a decent 67 fps, and the 3060 Ti continues to lead AMD's options. The 6800 XT does squeak ahead at 4K, probably thanks to its 16GB of memory, but we doubt many people are going to want to play multiplayer Call of Duty at 30 fps.”

The data is all there for you to see. If you want to know how the games tested in late 2020 performed on a 3060 Ti, look at the charts. Other games will perform differently. You can look at the current GPU Benchmarks Hierarchy for more recent testing on newer games that didn’t exist when the 3060 Ti came out.
