Which GPU should i go for

[Gothicknight]

Hey all, after a bit of advice

 

I am trying to decide which GPU I should go for. I game at 1080p so I am trying to decide between:

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3060 OC LHR 12GB @ AU$729 or 

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3060 Ti OC LHR 8GB @AU$899

 

The games I play are World of Warcraft atm (I currently have a GTX 770) but would like to get in to Warzone, Doom Eternal and various other upcoming titles at 1080p @144hz

 

The rest of my rig is:

Intel Core i9 11900KF Processor
Corsair iCUE H115i Elite Capellix 280mm ARGB AIO Cooler
ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz CL18 DDR4
Samsung 980 PRO M.2 PCI-E Gen4 NVMe SSD 500GB (boot)
Samsung 870 QVO 2.5in SATA SSD 4TB (storage)
ASUS ROG Strix Gold 850W Modular Power Supply

 

Any advise would be great

Might not be worth over $120 more because of the price/performance ratio. If you want to spend more the 3060 ti is faster but only by 10-20 more fps on high resolutions/settings. Still both these cards are amazing at 1080p. Your choice if you want to spend more.

1st Is there a significance clock speed difference between the two cards because if there is not alot of a clockspeed different you might as well go for the cheaper card because you will get the same FPS

2nd go for the more popular card because any software issues will be fixed quicker

3rd both cards have plenty of vram so that's not an issue

 

at 1080p either card will preform great heck at 1440p both should do good

Are you giving advice as if he's picking between two models of the same card? One is a 3060 and one is a 3060 ti. The ti will be faster, always.

This is not how it works.

The only difference i can see between to the 2 cards, beside VRAM (which I am not factoring in to this at all) is the memory interface 192-bit memory interface vs 256-bit memory interface. Will I notice much difference at 1080p and is it worth the extra $170?

 

EDIT: disregard as it has already been answered in comments. My bad

Then you are not looking hard enough. Look up performance comparisons. The ti is significantly faster than the 3060. Whether the performance difference is enough to justify the added cost is something you'll have to decide for yourself.

Thanks heaps for the advice. I think at this stage i will go for the $729 card just to get me going. 

Thanks again
