It's always been tough to get your hands on the latest GPUs, but that problem seems even worse this year, as the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed production considerably. ![]() And even when they're available, many cards from NVIDIA's partners will go for $450 and more. Right now, the 3060 Ti is out of stock at every major retailer. And of course, it's also only $399 in an ideal world. But at $399, that seems like a decent tradeoff for anyone who's primarily playing on a 1080p or 1440p monitor. (For what it's worth, the 3080 also struggled a bit to reach between 55 and 65fps.)Ĭlearly, the 3060 Ti isn't the card you'd want to pump out native 4K games to your TV. I suppose that's not too bad, though, as the 3070 could only muster 37fps with those same settings. Shadow of the Tomb Raider crawled at 32fps with ultra ray tracing shadows. Throw in ray tracing at 4K, and the 3060 Ti starts to fall apart even more. Destiny 2 hovered between 45 and 60fps with the highest graphics settings, while the 3070 was more stable between 70 and 80fps. The 3060 Ti's limits are more apparent when you start stressing it with 4K gaming. As you can imagine, that wasn't playable for too long, even if things were running smoothly otherwise.Īll games tested in 4K with the highest graphics quality settings and ray tracing (where available), on a rig powered by an Intel Core i7-8700K and 32GB of RAM. To achieve that, though, I had to switch DLSS to its highest performance setting, which at times made the game look like it was being rendered below 1080p. Pushing the 3060 Ti a bit harder, I hit 55fps on my ultrawide monitor's native 3,440 by 1,440 resolution with DLSS. Turning off DLSS, which renders games at low resolutions and uses AI supersampling to approximate the look of high resolutions, brought the game to a sluggish 40fps. ![]() I was able to get Cyberpunk 2077 running on the 3060 Ti around 65fps in 1440p with mid-range ray tracing settings and DLSS enabled. ![]() (76) MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 3060 Ti Gaming X 8G LHR. Similarly, the 3060 Ti hit 85 to 110fps in Destiny 2 with the highest graphics settings in 1440p, whereas the 3070 typically clocked 100 to 120 fps. MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 3060 Ti VENTUS 2X 8G OCV1 LHR. That's a big difference in raw frames, but it's not something you'd readily notice while you're playing the game, even with a 120Hz or 144Hz monitor. The Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark reached 88fps on the 3060 Ti with maxed graphics settings and ultra RTX shadows. When it came to 1440p gaming, the cheaper cards were more closely matched. In 3DMark Time Spy Extreme, the 3060 Ti came in just 600 points lower than the 3070, whereas the gap between the 30 was about 1,300 points.
