Should I swap my GTX 1080Ti for RTX 3060?

[Dyepoy]

I'm aware that my 1080Ti is faster in some games compare to the 3060 but I want to try some RTX/DLSS and have low power consumption (lol). 1080Tis are currently sold in my country for $600 and 3060s are selling from 600 to 800 depending on brand. I mainly play on 1080p144hz.

No.

Wait until prices come down and get a 3070/3080/6700XT/6800XT for $600-800.

You need to check out some you tube benchmarks for what fps that card can reach in the games you want to play with ray tracing turned on. Personally I think your wasting your money!

If you were getting a 3060ti/3070 then I'd say yes, but a 3060 doesn't make sense to me here

The RX 7000 and RTX 4000 mid range cards might sell for this price even more reason to wait.

I wouldnt hold ur breath on prices coming down to much.

 

Nvidia and AMD have made a concerted effort to move all performance tiers up a price bracket, hence £/$1000+ x80ti's for the last 2 generations.

Raytracing is a nothingburger (hey its more 'wet/shiny' even if its just a barren waste land without any water whatsoever...) dlss is cool, if you have a weak card, your card isn't weak so you don't need it...

 

 

I would only do this if you actually make profit,  cause the 1080ti is worth much more than a 3060.

Raytracing is supported by the 1080Ti... its not gonna be fast, but probably playable at ~30fps or so, good enough for looking at bizarre "shinieness" : D

They are priced similar. I have seen 1080tis cheaper than 3060s
