Hi I am considering buying a making my first pc and I am stuck with the GPU model should I get a iGame GeForce RTX 3060 bilibili E-sports Edition 12GB or a Colorful iGame Nvida GeForce RTX 3060 Ultra white OC 12GB Graphics card GDDR6 Advanced 3 Fan Cooling they are at MSRP I know I'm lucky (btw I am asking how many custom cables should I get for the first GPU the eSports one)

Links for these would be appreciated. And what exact prices are you getting these for? What is the MSRP.

iGame GeForce RTX 3060 bilibili E-sports Edition 12GB: https://en.colorful.cn/product_show.aspx?mid=102&id=1845

But the other GPU could be either this or this, or maybe neither is right?
If we assume it's the first one, then this is a handy comparison page: https://en.colorful.cn/comparison.aspx?mid=102&id=18451838

 

The difference seems to mostly be electricity draw, heat pipes, size, and weight. Generally speaking the bilibili one seems to be produce the same raw power, but at less of an electricity usage, somewhat smaller, and somewhat lighter.

Other than this, I would recommend looking up reviews that seem trustable. Based on your original post I presume you have the budget for both, and I presume the color doesnt matter. If so, and if the reviews are favorable, the bilibili one seems best.

Thanks so much!

You know, I can only assume of course, but I presume you dont need this much power for whatever you do. Whenever new graphics cards come out people are quick to give bad thoughts to older cards. E.g., the 1080ti is felt to some as old and worthless, yet it can still run most AAA games at good settings. I personally heard from people who have had no reason to even upgrade to 2080 when that came out as their 1080ti has been holding up well enough. Even the 1080 non-TI. People just look at the number 3xxx and assume its x times more powerful than the previous line, when that's really not how it works.

Again, I don't know what you plan to use it for, but since you are looking for advice I can only say that you shouldnt just ignore 1080's or 2080's and such. I personally still own a 1080ti and a 2080ti, which I only got the 2080ti for the extra VRAM for machine learning data training.

My current pc is running integrated graphics from 2018 lol and on top of that 1080 are more expensive than the GPU I want (somehow)
