This is a great price for this mid-range GPU, and it’s especially rare to see features like hardware-accelerated ray tracing and DLSS image reconstruction at this price point.
Pick up this Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 12GB for £279 with code BANK15
The RTX 3060 got a fairly positive review from erstwhile hardware editor Katharine, who rated it highly as a drop-in replacement for folks with GTX 1060 and RX 580 graphics cards. Here she is: That review was from 2020, where hilariously the price was £299 - just £20 more expensive than the current deal price. Of course, it was nigh-impossible to find an RTX 3060 at £299, RRP be damned, so I’d argue this still represents a (small) improvement on the situation of the past two years. What do you think - does this price drop make the 3060 more tempting, are you going to wait for this GPU to become ever-cheaper, or are you just going to jump on a next-gen GPU once they become available? We may not see lower-end next-gen cards for quite some time - potentially this time next year, even! - but I can understand the wait-and-see approach. There’s always something new on the horizon, right?
