NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 is to be launched soon, the first benchmarks of this graphics card started leaking. In Ashes of the Singularity (AotS) software, the RTX 3060 popped up twice and managed to hit 6800 points and 69.9 FPS in its best test, at 1080p resolution with the Crazy preset.

Both tests were carried out by the same user, who accompanied the new GPU with an Intel Core i7-8700K processor, obtaining an average of 6700 points (the other test gave 6600 points and 67 FPS). Thus, for comparison, the GeForce RTX 3060 is 19% faster than its predecessor, the GeForce RTX 2060. In addition, it manages to outperform the RTX 2070 by 9%. GeForce RTX 3060 is based on the GA106 GPU and features 3,584 CUDA cores along with 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit memory interface and power consumption of 170W.

if the price is too high... buy & mine. Instead of being pissed about the prices us your idle hardware to pay for itself. This won't last forever. We have to opportunity to get FREE GPUs atm.

You're insane

Underwhelming unless it's the right price. It puts it very close to the 5700XT which was sold for around 400-440$ USD 1 year and a half ago. So unless this card is 350$ USD top which it will likely not be then meh!

Its MSRP is supposed to be $330 USD, but due to the current situation it's not going to be that price (it's probably just gonna be out of stock like the others)...

No such thing unless you are stealing the electricity.

RTX3060 does 25Mh/s @100W. That's about ~0.00175ETH per day. After 3 months you are looking at ~0.16ETH.
Whole system does how much? Let's be very powerhungry. Idle PC + working GPU + crap PSU = (~100W + 100W)*1.25=250W 24/7 for 90 days = 540kWh. Multiply that by how much your electricity costs.
ETH is expected to rise above 10 000$ this year. Lets say you sell your 0.16ETH (if you don't mine more) @5000$.
That's 800$ minus electricity, 54$ if 1kwh is 10 cents.

Stealing, ehh? Free stuff if you ask me.

You're insane

No. You are ignorant.

the 6700XT's in slot competition is the 3070.

it's kinda hard to define this,but going by msrp 3070 partner versions on launch carried msrp lower around 550-600 usd (540 for the tuf,560 for the trio,570 for gigabyte,600 for evga ultra)
6800s were 650usd msrp. I think 6700xt is gonna be 400 (reference) and 450 partner (normal old msrp) cause I saw leaks it's 20-25% faster than 5700xt,so just shy of 2080 Super, and 3060Ti.

Checking the AotS benchmark page, the score that the 3060 got is around 2070 Super tier (high 6000s at 1080p crazy dx12).
The 2060 scores (which are what is being compared to the 3060 in the title) seem to be rather unreliable though, in the benchmark page there's several 2060 scores that are comparable to the 2060 Super (high 5000s).
Well, it turned out to be 2070.

AIB models are 3-4% over stock 2070. Which means that they are equal as AIB 2070s are also 3-4% above reference 2070.
