The Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB brings a new level of performance to the mainstream market--sort of. Officially, the RTX 3060 launches today with prices starting at just $329. Realistically? You're as likely to find one at that price as you are to find an RTX 3060 Ti at $399, RTX 3070 at $499, or RTX 3080 at $699 — not entirely impossible, perhaps, but highly unlikely. Nvidia's Ampere architecture now powers many of the best graphics cards , and they're all seeing massive levels of demand from both gamers and cryptocurrency miners . Nvidia has added firmware and driver code to detect Ethereum mining, which should help a bit, but when people are willing to pay extreme scalper pricing on eBay , even for cards like the GTX 1660 Super and RTX 2060, everything in our GPU benchmarks hierarchy is pretty much sold out right now. Nvidia is even working with partners to bring back previous generation Turing and Pascal cards . None of that makes this a bad GPU, … [Read more...] about GeForce RTX 3060 12GB Review: Hope Springs Eternal

In terms of performance, Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series graphics cards have been a rousing success. But in every other way, it’s been a bit of disaster . The confluence of supply limitations, another explosion in crypto mining, and unexpectedly huge demand have made it nearly impossible to buy one of these new graphics cards . I hope the new GeForce RTX 3060 gets into more gamers’ hands, but there’s no guarantee. The good news? If you are able to snag one, you’ll be very pleased by the massive upgrade it will offer to your rig. Design Nvidia isn’t releasing a first-party version of the RTX 3060. That’s a shame. Not only do these “Founders Edition” models set a good standard for pricing, they also are the prettiest graphics card you can buy. With the gorgeous redesign of the 30-series cards, that’s a shame. Unfortunately, the EVGA RTX 3060 XC Black graphics card I received as a review unit isn’t as much of a looker. It’s not ugly, but it lacks a backplate, the shroud is … [Read more...] about EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Black graphics card review: $329 well spent

Anthem should have been a slam dunk, or at least that’s what EA was banking on. The live service title, which replaced Destiny ’s space wizards with flying robots, was meant to be a long-term game that would keep players engaged for years. With tons of loot to collect and an ambitious content road map, plus the talented team behind Mass Effect at the helm, it seemed like EA couldn’t fail … until it did. After launching to middling reviews , the game quickly failed to meet EA’s lofty sales expectations. EA CEO Andrew Wilson quickly conceded that the approach wasn’t progressing as intended, telling GameDaily: “The promise was we can play together, and that’s not working very well.” One year later, BioWare got to work on a total overhaul meant to revive the game’s player base, but now, one year after that effort, EA has shuttered the project entirely. The rocky two years isn’t a story that’s exclusive to Anthem . The failed experiment now serves as a cautionary tale for … [Read more...] about Anthem’s demise might be the final nail in the looter shooter genre’s coffin
