Is RTX 3060 Worth It?
No, despite its higher price point of $439, the GeForce RTX 3060 proves disappointing when purchased new. For a similar price, GeForce RTX 5060 has 56.0% better 3DMark score compared to GeForce RTX 3060.
In the used market, the GeForce RTX 3060 fails to justify its value for money. It lags behind the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti which outperforms it by a lead of 69.7% in 3DMark benchmark.
PSU for RTX 3060
Recommended PSU for the RTX 3060: about 600 W — the card draws 170 W, a CPU such as the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X about 105 W, and doubling the total leaves headroom for transient spikes. Pick a unit from a reputable tier of the Cultists Network PSU Tier List.
