![]() ![]() When you look at a stunning game like Cyberpunk 2077, you’re left thinking it's the ‘killer app’ that pushes ray tracing over a threshold to where it will really become a core PC graphics technology. These are things that are currently unavailable to AMD users. But at least you can play with ray tracing and DLSS enabled. Something like Cyberpunk 2077 at maximum settings and 4K resolution will be beyond it, but then that’s beyond pretty much every card on the market. If you game at 1440p and you’re looking at a card to play at high settings then the RTX 3060 Ti is a great option. More is likely possible if you put the time into it, though how relevant that will really be in terms of extra performance. We were also able to hit 2,000MHz on the memory with ease (or 16Gbps up from the default 14Gbps). That’s not bad, but given the way modern GPUs boost so effectively within their power budgets, a performance gain of around 5% doesn’t really seem worth it. If silence is high on your list of priorities, it will be hard to do better.Ī quick overclocking test resulted in a consistent boost clock of between 2,020 and 2,050MHz. We know this cooler can easily tame a much hotter RTX 3080 GPU so when it's tasked with cooling a GA104 GPU, which demands 100W less power, well, it's a walk in the park really. It simply cannot be heard over the sounds of the other fans and AIO pump in our test system and it manages these low noise levels without compromising on performance one jot. The RTX 3060 Ti flavour continues that trend. MSI's Gaming X Trio options are often the quietest models of graphics cards you can buy. After running for over 10 minutes at full load the card settled into a consistent boost clock of between 1,930 to 1,970MHz, albeit on an open test bench. The MSI Gaming X makes a mockery of the advertised 1,830MHz boost clock. In fact only the RTX 2080 Ti is faster out of all the Turing generation GeForce cards. Type-C USB has been omitted from the Ampere generation cos who needs VirtualLink really.Īt the end of the day, however, it’s the performance that matters most and the RTX 3060 Ti makes a massive jump over not only the RTX 2060, but it beats out the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080, and the Super models at that. The card features the now typical set of display outputs including three DisplayPort 1.4a and a single HDMI 2.1 port. This might be a good thing for the obsessive cable managers out there who dislike the central placement of the 12 pin connector. The proprietary 12-pin power connector that you’ll find on the Nvidia-built cards is omitted in favour of a pair of standard 8-pin PCIe connectors. The TDP of the card has been increased to a rather lofty 240W compared to the 200W of an RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition. It features a boost clock of 1,830MHz but the official clocks are all but irrelevant unless you’re mining with it or have a case with poor airflow. There’s really no need for a Lightning-esque VRM with this fourth-tier Ampere GPU. The MSI RTX 3060 Ti, however, features a very large and surprisingly sparse PCB with an 8-phase VRM.
