Anyone planning to upgrade from one of these?

 

My son is wanting to move to one, and I see they are down to $1150 new... 

 

Has to be the 3-fan model.

 

Thanks

These are a really good level of performance vs energy/heat and overall size.

Enjoy when you do get one.

Thanks... good to know.

 

Looking at one of the Gigabyte 3-fan models (Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti Gaming OC Pro)

I was just thinking, it's been a long time since I bought a graphics card if the current state puts "down to" and "$1150" in the same sentence. I think my entire computer cost about that much the last time I built one.

Yup... I cannot believe the pricing of GPUs now... used to be the top model was about $1000... now that's pretty much entry level... Mining!

This.  So much this.

Makes the Xbox Series X look like a viable desktop PC alternative in today's world.  Very competitively priced when you compare it to GPUs.
The 3060 Ti is quite a jump up on the 3060 so a good spot between price and performance.  Sadly $1000+ is entry level for this component at the moment, which yes is nuts.
