Gigabyte has crafted an incredible graphics card here, and what I really didn't expect is that it would go head to head with the much more expensive and more heavily engineered MSI RTX 3060 Gaming X Trio we're also testing this week.

Gigabyte's Gaming OC carries on the good work by building a solid model around the GA106 GPU. Decent in design, generally quiet and overclocked to boot, it's a decent choice if you can find availability this side of Easter.

My main lack of enthusiasm stems from the fact the gen-on-gen gains are just not that big with the RTX 3060, and certainly not as big as we’ve seen from the other Ampere GPUs.

Bottom line, the GeForce RTX 3060 isn’t a bad product, it’s technically very good, but pricing is simply not attractive to make it a compelling upgrade.
