EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming Graphics Card Review

Benchmarks

Test Setup

All tests were conducted at default clock speeds and the same in game settings were kept the same though each test.

CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (Matisse)
Cooling Gigabyte Aorus Liquid Cooler 240
Motherboard Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro
Ram Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 3600MHz 64GB (32×2)
HDD XPG 256GB PCIE M.2 SSD
PSU Antec Signature Series 1000W
VGA card EVGA GeForce RTX 3060Ti FTW3 Ultra
Drivers 460.79
OS Windows 10

 

Lets see if the 3060Ti has found solid footing right between the 2080 Super and the 3070!

Here are the charts and if you want more detailed results, keep scrolling further down the review.

 


 

We would like to thank Futuremark for providing the 3DMark software for use in this testing.

3DMark is arguably the most popular graphics card benchmarking software known to the world. For more than a decade, users have been using the software made by Futuremark to make and break world records and to also test overclocks. The latest version simply known as 3DMark includes several tests for DirectX 9, 10, 11 and 12 hardware. This version also supports cross-platform benchmarking including smartphones and tablets (Android and iOS) this time around. We used the Fire Strike Ultra, and Time Spy benchmarks (all at default settings). I will let the numbers do the talking.

 

3DMark v2 – Port Royal (DXR – Ray Tracing)

Port Royal is a graphics card benchmark for testing real-time ray tracing performance. To run this test, you must have a graphics card and drivers that support Microsoft DirectX Raytracing.

 

3DMark – Time Spy (DX12)

3DMark Time Spy is a new DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built “the right way” from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards.

 

3DMark – Firestrike (DX11)

Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.

 

3DMark – DirectX Raytracing Feature Test

Real-time ray tracing is incredibly demanding. The latest graphics cards have dedicated hardware that’s optimized for ray-tracing. The 3DMark DirectX Raytracing feature test measures the performance of this dedicated hardware. Instead of using traditional rendering techniques, the whole scene is ray-traced and drawn in one pass. The result of the test depends entirely on ray-tracing performance.

 

3DMark – Nvidia DLSS Feature Test

Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) is an NVIDIA RTX technology that uses the power of deep learning and AI to improve game performance while maintaining visual quality. The NVIDIA DLSS feature test helps you compare performance and image quality using DLSS 2 or DLSS 1. With DLSS 2, you can choose between three quality modes—Quality, Performance and Ultra Performance.

 

Cinebench R15

Cinebench is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. Cinebench is based on MAXON’s animation software CINEMA 4D 3D content creation.

 

Unigine 2 – Superposition (4k Optimized)

Extreme performance and stability test for PC hardware: video card, power supply, cooling system. Check your rig in stock and overclocking modes with real-life load! Also includes interactive experience in a beautiful, detailed environment.

 

Final Fantasy  Official Benchmark

See just how well FINAL FANTASY XIV will run on your computer. This official benchmark software uses actual maps and playable characters to assign a score to your PC and rate its performance. A character creation tool is also included, allowing you to view a playable character as they will appear in-game.

Here are a few screen shots from the results in the graph above.

 

MIN and MAX Temps During all the Benchmarks From Testing

At full load, the card reached a high of 72 degrees Celsius with an overclocked GPU at 2085 MHz. This was with the default fan curve and at those temps they were running 60% at 1950RPM.

 

Next-Gen Overclocking – OVERCLOCKING to 2085MHz!!

With a brand new layout, completely new codebase, new features and more, the new EVGA Precision X1 software is faster, easier and better than ever.

Now for the Overclock results! I was able to achieve a base clock of 2085MHz. That was at +115. At +120 it crashed the benchmark every time. Anything higher and the test benchmark would freeze up, skip or just stop completely. I would say that anything under 2085MHz  is completely stable. The default 1800 MHz oc speeds the card is shipped with (as reported by the software). But it consistently ran at 1950MHz  out of the box. The overclocking aspect has become less of a game changer as it has been in the past, because of the changes to the power limiter. With that being said you can still add a little to the MHz to get a little more out of the card! I scored a 9939 compared to 9799 at default clocks in Unigine Superposition Benchmark. That’s about a 1.4% Performance Increase. Not to shabby!

 

Now lets take a look at the software for the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra!
