Wiich is better?

ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC 12GB GDDR6 192-bit 15 Gbps PCIE 4.0 Gaming Graphics Card, IceStorm 2.0 Cooling, Active Fan Control, Freeze Fan Stop ZT-A30600H-10M  or EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti XC Gaming, 08G-P5-3663-KL, 8GB GDDR6, Metal Backplate, LHR (What's LHR stand for?)

RTX 3060 Ti is better, the extra VRAM on the 3060 doesn't make up for the weaker GPU. 

 

LHR stands for low hash rate. Basically a software lock to prevent the card from being good at mining cryptocurrencies. It doesn't affect gaming performance.

3060 Ti is better. 

 

LHR means low hashrate, which is nothing to worry about unless you mine.

 

[Eigenvektor]

LHR = low hash rate, that's the newer models that reduce performance when mining Ethereum.

 

I would recommend you move these cards into separate columns, it's hard to read which is which otherwise.

Does it matter? Both are reputable brands, neither is definitively better than the other, certainly not worth going for a worse card for a "better" company. 

 

Go for the EVGA 3060 Ti. Not because of the brand though, but because the 3060 Ti is better than the 3060.

Awesome, sorry 1 more question how much power does it need?

3060 Ti's tend to draw <250W on full load, maybe up to about 300W if you've upped the TDP limit when overclocking. 

 

Assuming you're not running anything else particularly power hungry in the system, a 650W PSU would do nicely.

No, just what's in sig, plus a 2.5 ssd, a 3.5 hdd & a slim ODD.

Yeah 650W would be perfect then, though you could probably get away with a decent 550W.
