The card does its job very well. It runs perfectly for Valorant. It's silent, just like the rest of the PC. The white LED is great. We like the 12GB, which works very well with 32GB RAM, CORE I7 and SSD M2 NVMe.
Thanks to LDLC for the tracking and super fast delivery, PC received in 1 week.
Received quickly as usual. I took advantage of a special offer (-11%). Not easy to attach: there is not much room to put your fingers. Quiet (you can hardly hear the fans when fully loaded, and they don't run in the office). Performant, here is the performance in 4k ultra vs my RTX 2060 6GB: Mafia 1 definitive edition 39 fps vs 30, Farcry 6 44 fps, assassin's creed valhala 60 fps vs 23, crash bandicoot 4 130 fps vs 48, assassin's creed odyssey 37 fps vs 21, shadow of the tomb raider 51 fps (as much as my rtx 2080ti which broke down after 10 days), need for speed payback 45/60 fps (it depends on the maps), Red dead redemption 2 42 fps vs 12, yet my config , is not very young (intel core i7 haswell 4790k). I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use a different colour for the LEDs (green for office use and blue for gaming).
No problem (1 month after commissioning all is well). No problem (1 month after commissioning all is well).
We all know that there is a shortage of cards, but we sell them at three times the basic rate... a shame, never seen before...
I'm not sure how much I'm going to pay for a 3060 at 549€, but that's the base price for a 3070 series... this mythical wave has made the big guys profit and too bad for you LDLC but you are the pioneers.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a 3060, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a 3070. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a 3070, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a 3070.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one.
... what a noise when you load it! As soon as it exceeds 65°, the fans start to run at full speed and there, hello to the ears... And I have a silent tower! I'm a bit disappointed because with my old GTX 1050 Ti (admittedly much less powerful) I didn't have any noise coming from my tower and now, as soon as I launch a greedy game, it's the hoover... I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to sell such cards in 2022, especially at this price... I'm looking for a way to make it quieter if anyone has this...
I even underclocked it to gain Db... I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but it's a good one.
Finally an RTX 30xx card available.
The prices have gone through the roof since February and so I find myself picking up a 3060 for the price of a 3070Ti at the beginning of the year but anyway not much choice.
The card meets my expectations well. No lag in all the games I tested in Max resolution and all in full.
The 12GB is also very nice.
I would like to thank LDLC for giving me the right information about availability and for delivering the product on time with a very good follow-up.
Product that does its job very well and cost less than the majority less than 600€ for a 3060 today, it was unhoped for.
In the same universe: rtx3060
