Lord have mercy, I wanted to see it stacked against the RTX 2060.... Now I regret it lol. Thanks for keeping us informed!
-
To put it in perspective for those who are still stuck on Pascal, it's basically 1070/1070Ti performance, depending on game...it sits between GTX 1660s and RTX 2060 performance.
-
I'm still using the 1060 & 1070 in my two builds. Crazy how they still hold up very well for 1080p and even some 1440p gaming.
-
cant wait to pay $1000 next month LOL
-
Well. 3060 starts in europe usually at 650E. I can't imagine this having a price tag below 500E. Prices seem to fall very slowly even with crypto crash so no choice but being patient.
-
New subscriber here, just wanted to say i appreciate how you get right to the point on your subjects. Keep up the great work. Looking foward to your future videos!
-
And I thought 2 years ago my strix 2070 was a mistake....god am I glad to have it now xD
-
Great example showing the 3050+12100 performance as a realistic use case for someone just starting from zero, for everyone else with a running system with dedicated gpu this won't be much of upgrade unless you really want dlss
-
Blessings from Honduras good video man.
-
Perfect timing with this video, my 1060 6gb started just started dieing. Ill try factory reinstalling yet but I was looking to upgrade soon anyway
-
Mate can you do a small ITX super efficient build with the 12100F and 3050? It would be great to see just how small a system we can pack these in.
-
I bought the same model for $205 online sealed and perfectly functioning like it should. Worth it, got attached to it, Its very small and nice.
-
Makes me wonder if we will end up ever seeing a 40 class gpu or if $250 will be the floor from now on
-
Nice review! If you don't mind me asking, is the Dan A4-H2O review also coming soon by any chance?
-
Would love to see you taking a look at the Lian Li Q58 case!
-
One of the most sensible reviews and selection for test bench with the i3, I watched - "Gaming Performance: i3 vs i5, i7, i9 Intel 12th-gen" and understood why i3 fits perfect for 1080p gaming in 2022. Such quality content.
-
Market price in the states will prob be about 400 usd as thats about what you can expect to pay for a 2060 right now.
-
The great upgrade of my gtx 980 is coming ^^ Do I need sth more than rtx 3050 for video editing in Premiere Pro, n sometimes After Effects for Rotobrush and 3d camera track functions? Using 10 bit 4k h265 video files of a7sIII on my projects
-
Best review and straight to the point
-
some called me a fool when I upgraded my 2060 to a 2070S in May 2020 like "wait for the new GPUs !" well well, seems like I dodged a bullet, and me and my brother are comfortable enjoying our 3 year old cards
