“I was skeptical about buying a refurbished graphics card, but I’m glad I took the chance. It looks and performs like new, and I saved a lot of money compared to buying a new one. Great option if you’re on a budget.” – David C.

i use 1080p and it doesn’t drop below 166 FPS on Minecraft with siddurs high on. kinda insane. to be fair, mine is overclocked slightly. stays super cool and quiet either way. run COD and MW2 easily. the 12GB or GDDR6 Vram is the main reason i got this card and it doesnt disappoint. i played minecraft, roblox, and used adobe photoshop at the same time with 0 lag, while yes, usually just ram but for all the heavy stuff on the gpu it handles it with ease. highly recommend for 1080p/1440p gamers. used in 4k once. handles nicely but did stutter on minecraft (raytraced) occasionally.

Upgraded from an old 1050ti, FABULOUS card for the price. all the ti versions were super expensive so I settled on this and still a HUGE upgrade for me. VERY happy with my purchase. Would recommend to anyone. Plays games with ease on my Ryzen 9 5900x.

Nothing but good things to say about this GPU, especially coming from a 1660. So far zero issues installing and no hiccups during gameplay.
Specs:
Ryzen 7 3800x
Msi RTX 3060 (This product)
Corsair Vengeance PRO16x2 GB DDR4
Corsiar RM850x 850w PSU
For reference, I’d avg about 110FPS on Rainbow 6 Siege with mid to low settings on the 1660, while now averaging about 200-230FPS on ultra settings. Haven’t really had a chance to try out other games just yet, but I’m expecting wild performance improvements as well (plus ray tracing ability)

I absolutely love this card it is wild. So I got this card to game not at 4k but 1080p- 1440p and with that being the goal this card tears it up like Godzila. Just got a 1440p monitor so going to push it as hard as I can see what this little thing can do. At 1080p however on cyberpunk ultra it did great hitting 70-80fps it was looking crazy good and with new monitor we will see. Tried it on so many different games and just plays ultra graphics on everything at 1080p no problems what so ever and I’m not selling my Kidney to pay for it so get you some RTX POWER, if you looking for one.

The 3060 gpu is a great upgrade from my 1660 super…

The MSRP for the card was too high at $485, but it is overall a good card because it gets pretty good framerate in games at 1080p

Helpful and knowledgable staff at Micro Center. Already knew what I wanted but still asked questions and they answered them.

Really nice video card, nice improvement in the color on my 4k tv. The on board intel 770 is adequate but it slowed down my video rendering times. I have an I7-13700k and with the video card the rendering is like 7 or 8 times faster. I will not buy a processor with on board video again F or KF from now on.

Great value on a 12gig card. Does what is supposed to and runs quite
Zane –
Great gpu out the box can handle epic settings on fort with extreme ease. Highly recommend for anything you wanna play.

This was put in my recent build and there no issues whatsoever with installing it. Its a nice size and the fans work well, it also looks pretty nice. Every game Ive tried so far (RDR2, Dishonored series, Borderlands 3, etc) has run a steady 50-80 fps at max settings. Definitely recommend!

Went to Best Buy first but selection was limited & salesperson didn’t have much info. Went to Micro Center next and salesman was GREAT. He knew everything I wanted to know. Love my new Dell laptop. Very appreciative of the service.

I bought this because my old 1660 was struggling when editing 4K/60 footage in DaVinci Resolve. This GPU makes short work of it.
Hasmik Avetisyan –
Love it, easily compatible with my cheap motherboard and works like a dream
Gary Jamison –
Finally managed to get a 3000 series and it’s worth every penny. Can handle just about anything you can reasonably throw at it. Now it’s up to the game engine.

I bought this as well other parts to build a PC for my brother. Works great!!!!!

The 3060 gpu is a great upgrade from my 1660 super
Amy Helsing –
I just built my first pc and micro center helped me a lot in what recommendations I should have in building it. They were so helpful and found me this exact piece I needed which has been working like magic. My computer is amazing and the graphics have been just as amazing.
SamuelC –
Its an old GPU, sir, but it checks out
I’m not a super intense FPS player, so my demands of a GPU are less. Still, this has been able to handle everything I’ve thrown at it so far. Great GPU that doesn’t break the bank in 2022, which is no small feat.
