What Buyers Say

While not intended for heavy gaming, it reliably adds DisplayPort outputs and works perfectly for non-gaming tasks.
Pros

- Automatic driver detection in Windows 11
- Low power consumption
- Dual DisplayPort outputs
- Quiet fan operation
Cons
- Fan present (despite being quiet)
- Not suitable for heavy gaming
ASUS GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Dual 8GB GDDR6
The ASUS RTX 3060 12GB is widely praised as a great budget card for 1080p gaming and AI tasks, offering solid performance and quiet operation. Users upgrading from older GPUs like the GTX 1060 or R9 280 report a huge leap in quality. However, one buyer complained about false warranty advertising, claiming the seller promised a 3-year warranty but only offered 3 months. Overall, the card delivers excellent value for its price.
Pros
- Great value for money
- Excellent 1080p gaming performance
- Quiet operation
- Solid build quality
- 12GB VRAM for AI tasks
Cons
- False warranty advertising by seller
- Fans only spin under heavy load
- Noisy under full load
- Not suitable for ultra-wide monitors >32"
