3060 vs 3060TI vs 3060TI

[Bruuuh]

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a 3060 or 3060TI. Which should I buy?

I'm not sure of which to buy, I really like the founders edition card so I'm leaning that way. But the MSi seems like a great option even not being a ti. Plus its the same price as two other ti cards which makes me think that it must be amazing.

Uhhhh what? That's not how that works. The 3060 will never be better than the 3060 Ti. Get a Ti.

[Bruuuh]

wasn't sure, thanks.

Which ti?

Or, 6700 XT for the same price as the Zotac 3060 Ti, faster for the same price.

If you don't want to go AMD, then get the 3060 Ti, faster for not much more.

Price doesn't dictate anything other than value, judging how good something is based off of price is dumb.

Which ever is cheaper.

Thank you, they are the same price.

Ah, sorry I can't open the bestbuy link, anyway, pick whichever you like more.

Lower end cards rarely differ between AIB models.

From the 3060Ti models the Nvidia one is much better, assuming you can get it for $400, go for it. Also that MSI 3060 model is pretty bad, MSI good model is the Gaming X, good models are only usually only worth considering if they aren't close in price to the next tier GPU though.

I would go with the 3060Ti unless Linux support or something like that is an issue or the 6700XT is cheaper. The performance is basically the same*, but the 3060Ti has more features overall, is better at RT/Productivity and, at least in my experience, is also better when power limited/undervolted.

Realistically, would you use RT on a 3060 Ti? Personally, I'd rather have smoother gameplay than prettier graphics. DLSS is not such a huge selling point anymore, and he is not going to use it for productivity, otherwise he would mention it.

Also, I moved from Nvidia to AMD, and I have to say, Nvidia's control panel and GF experience is so outdated and buggy, whereas AMD's Adrenaline is just so much better integrated and gives better user experience. All in one software and not as buggy as Nvidia's, I could barely use the GFX

That extra bit of FPS difference matters less now, but later, that could be the difference between sub 50 fps and stable 60 fps, so I think the 6700 XT is just a better buy.

Also, idk if RTX 30 series cards are better undervolted than RX 6000, it all depends on silicone quality and my 6800 XT dropped about 80W-100W peak power usage with undervolt and OC. If that isn't great undervolt result, idk what is.

So final question, could I, with a 360w dell psu and a 10400f in a dell prebuild. Put a 3060ti in my pc and be able to use it? Or would it simply not work because I don't have a big enough psu? And if so would there be a downside? 

btw here is my prebuild manual https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/g-series-5000-desktop_users-guide_en-us.pdf
