The Nvidia RTX 3060 released last week as the cheapest Ampere card so far, although there are some disappointingly inflated price tags out there with supply going the same way as all GPU releases over the past year - try as Nvidia might by nerfing the card against Ethereum mining. With Nvidia making the decision not to release RTX 3060 Founders Edition cards, reviewers have got their hands on aftermarket models - some of which are factory overclocked, leading to better performance in some cases.
Once stock issues with graphics cards are eventually sorted and they become readily available near their £299 / $329 MSRP, the 3060 could be the best graphics card if you're looking to build the best cheap gaming PC. If the reviews are anything to go by, it looks like this card could be a solid contender for 1080p gaming, even in demanding titles like Watch Dogs Legion and Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
It might not be a big enough leap in performance to entice RTX 20 series users to swap out for something newer, but if you're running an older Pascal GPU such as the GTX 1060, the RTX 3060 could be the perfect upgrade. Here's our roundup of the critics.
