What we like about EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming

  • Exceptional performance for 1440p and high-refresh 1080p gaming, often outperforming the RTX 2080 Super.
  • Efficient iCX3 cooling technology that maintains stable temperatures under heavy load.
  • Quiet operation with an 'Idle Fan Stop' feature that shuts fans off during light tasks.
  • Strong build quality with a sturdy metal backplate and aesthetically pleasing ARGB lighting.
  • High factory overclock (1800MHz boost) providing one of the fastest out-of-the-box 3060 Ti experiences.
  • User-friendly EVGA Precision X1 software for easy monitoring, fan control, and overclocking.
  • Features a proprietary network of onboard sensors for precise thermal management.

What we don't like about EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming

  • Higher power draw (around 240W) compared to the Founders Edition and other rival 3060 Ti models.
  • Fans can become significantly loud when spinning above 80% capacity.
  • Large physical footprint (285mm length) and heavy weight may require a GPU support bracket to prevent sagging.
  • Lacks a dual BIOS switch, which is found on other premium competitor models.
  • 8GB of VRAM may limit performance in some modern titles at 4K resolution.

Verdict

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming features 4864 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 256-bit bus, boasting a high factory overclock with a boost clock of 1800 MHz. Built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, it includes iCX3 cooling with triple fans and a metal backplate for superior thermal management and structural rigidity. Its main pros are the exceptional cooling performance, robust build quality, and high out-of-the-box clock speeds that outperform base models. However, its primary cons include a larger three-slot footprint that may not fit in smaller cases and a higher power draw compared to reference 3060 Ti designs.
