At the end of last month, the 60-series GeForce RTX finally came out, which has had high popularity every generation. The RTX 3060 is the cheapest Ampere graphics card so far, and the Gigabyte Eagle (OC) version is also relatively power-efficient. Both in terms of smaller dimensions and relatively lower power draw.

Test platform benchmark; API OpenCL; no extra settings.

Test platform render BMW and Classroom; renderer Cycles, 12 dlaždíc; extra settings OpenCL for Radeon and CUDA for GeForce. Like the majority of people use it. OpenCL with GeForce is always slow because path tracing does not support GPU acceleration and the CPU does the computing. Nvidia OptiX is tested separately on supported cards (GeForce RTX) and the results are drawn in a separate graph.
