Samath N8 808 owner, 27 Sep 2022Not so much of a good deal as people make out to be. Fir... moreIt's not about how "good" the GPU is. It's more on breaking the duopoly between AMD and NVIDIA. Of course, their first attempt at a real discrete GPU wouldn't go well. They're joining a super mature market that has seen decades of evolution in GPUs. It proved that even when you throw tons of money at it and also have decades of experience in creating silicon, making a GPU specifically is not as easy as it seems.

I do hope they succeed further to get AMD and NVIDIA to compete further and innovate rather than stagnate to where we are at right now.

    This is definitely neat, but the rtx 3060 came out a year and a half ago. It's disappointing but not surprising that Intel would brag about their brand new card performing and being priced the same as a card as old as the 3060.

      Not so much of a good deal as people make out to be.

      Firstly, optimisation matters and so the RTX 3060 is better optimised and its not all about fps, but quality and tune ups and settings too.
      Secondly, we have equivalent AMD cards too, plus a huge number of RTX 3060 cards from various factories exist, like Zotac and all, which may actually be cheap enough.

      Thirdly, Ray Tracing is not quite a selling point due to performance tax. For RTX xx80 series its cool, but not for RTX 3060.
      Maybe 3060 will do great for remade classic games like Quake 2 (RT edition), but what else?

        Very nice. Duopoly is done for.

          most people will never turn on RT in games cause the performance tax is massive and companies need to understand that it isn't a selling point and won't be for at least 2 generations.
