Asus RTX 3060 ROG Strix OC 12gb Graphics Card: Test & Review

Hi there,

Strix & FTW3 are my go to cards, so when this appeared on eBay I snapped it up. Today we look at a number of things, see below for timestamps.
Is it worth buying? Watch the video 😉

*BTW, I say in the video that the 3060 is the equivalent of the 2080, but it is actually the equivalent of the 2070. Still decent though 😉
