Lasted me many years and performs very well as a mid-highish end GPU. Upgraded recently and passed it down to my girlfriend and she is happy with it as well.

★★★★★Solid upgrade at a good price (at the time)
I spend very little on my PC. In 2015, I built my I5 5820K, 32gb, GTX 770 OC and it has chugged through every task I ask of it at the lowest of graphic settings. I wasn't aware of how used to 15-25fps I was until I upgraded with this GPU. I checked the prices a couple of years ago and laughed as I walked away. "I built my computer for nearly that much." I thought. A couple of weeks ago, when I bought this unit, the price was well under MSRP. Now it seems that the price is up by at least 25%. This is a very functional GPU and in my case, was a tremendous upgrade from my previous card. However, new buyers should be wary of the fluctuating prices and not pay much, if any over the product's MSRP. As for the performance: This newfound power of double-digit frames per second allowed me to play with the settings on multiple games and see the resulting clarity. I demand a great deal when it comes to multitasking with my GPU. I will certainly have fifty windows of Chrome and two of Excel open while any game is running. Very seldom do I get to JUST game. That being said, I still get 18-25 fps on GTA5 on max settings, but I found a mix of ultra and very high settings that give me 55+fps in 4K windowed mode. If these programs take too long to minimize, I also downgrade graphics and this was a good combo. Tiny Tina's Wonderland gave 25-35fps on max settings, but low texture quality and ultra texture rendering cranked that up to 55+fps. The "low quality" textures still allow you to see splinters in wooden armor as long as they load in quickly. Anyone seeing these numbers would say the same thing: "You're limited by your CPU" This is absolutely true, but I assume many people out there were looking for a good card to maximize their current CPU. If you're building new, then you'll see far better numbers than myself just because you'll likely have a much more powerful CPU. For now, at least I can easily max out my 4K 60hz while not changing anything else about my machine or habits. At the time (and price) of purchase, this was a great upgrade to my older PC.

★★★★★Price inflated but it works great.
I've been trying to get my hands on a card for a while now. I had ordered one from Newegg while they were in stock but they sent me a dead card. They couldn't replace it because it was out of stock. So I found this card and it's a little more expensive than I wanted to pay for a card, seeing g as the price is inflated from it's normal value. If I hadn't of been disappointed by getting that dead card I would have tried to wait for the prices to come down a little more. That being said. This card is great. It's a huge upgrade from my GTX950. I can actually see the details in RDR2 I'm playing in 1440p on ultra settings and getting 60fps. I can't hear the gpu fans over my 9 case fans. So I guess it's pretty quiet. If you can find this card closer to it's MSRP price go ahead and pick it up. EVGA has never let me down. And their customer service is outstanding.

★★★★★Best rtx value card. Adjust fans chart so fans never stop.
Ultimate value card. 12GB! Fans are noisey when stopping and starting but you can adjust fan chart so that the fans at min temp are always slowly spinning.

★★★★★Good GPU, bad price rate, noticeably noisier than my previous GPU
I recently built my wife a PC of her own and gave her my NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1080 TI. I bought the EVGA RTX 3060 XC card with the idea of slightly upgrading my own PC in mind. I am aware that a GTX 1080 TI and an RTX 3060 XC are very similar in performance but I feel like multiple generations of GPUs should not have similar costs for the same level of performance. The cost of similar performance over 3 generations of GPUs should go down... I paid around 750 USD for my 1080TI in 2018, and for roughly the same performance with RTX added in I paid about the same for my 3060 XC. Overall it runs and plays games about the same as my 1080 TI but it is considerably louder when running a graphically demanding game than my previous card. I did some research and found that they claim it has about 10 points lower of a decibel rating than my previous card but that does not seem to be true at all. All around it's not a bad card I just feel like I paid too much and that it doesn't run as efficiently as my previous one. Final note: I have only really played Red Dead Redemption 2 online since buying this card and it tends to run about 70-80 celsius and uses 95% of the GPU core when running. I get around 65 FPS running most settings on high.
