How are the scores looking for Furmark 1080p and Superposition 1080p Extreme results? I found one result for Superposition which is more than my result. May be they overclocked?

Spoiler: 3060Ti Furmark and Superposition Benchmarks

GPU Temps looks fine for this. Should I check 3DMark (Firestrike and Timespy)? I don't know how good are the free version benchmarks available on Steam

IMO run gaming benchmarks, I use those instead of synthetic ones. Even for synthetic benchmarks, you should be able to find numbers online. Firestrike & Timespy are surely very popular.

Like some gaming numbers for my system at 1440p:

Game	off	reBAR on	Preset
Far Cry 5	128	134	Ultra
CP 2077 v1.5	77	76	Ultra
FH5	84	87	Extreme
HZD	101	102	Ultimate

Thanks for sharing the numbers. But sadly I don't own any of the mentioned games and it seems 3DMark is also not free, only the DLC Firestrike is free. So It seems I can't benchmark my card?

Use Shadow of Tomb Raider demo for benchmark, get numbers from reviews. Firestrike is a common benchmark. Hardware Unboxed did a 50 game benchmark, see which of those games you own.

Since you are running at 1080p, R5 3600 will pull the 3060Ti down more comparatively, so expect lower fps number than 3060Ti FE. For me, my 3070 has factory OC & has TDP of 240W vs 220W of 3070FE, so in most benchmarks it performs between 3070 & 3070Ti FE models at 1440p. Also, see if you can turn on reBAR.

Driver version 472.12
So I had Borderlands 3 and I ran in-game benchmark and on average got
DX11: 85 FPS Ultra
DX12: 87 FPS Ultra

Updated Driver version 516.59
Borderlands 3 DX12- 95 FPS Ultra
Godfall- 135 FPS Epic
Tomb Raider Demo- 107 FPS Ultra

Surprisingly, Superposition benchmark result drop to 7034 from 7086, after driver update.
Didn't get any artifact and all while running benchmarks so everything is fine with GPU I guess.

Edit: For ReBar I need to update VBIOS but it seems Asus have not made any BIOS available for TUF 3060Ti. Will check this later.

@omega44-xt Thanks for the help!!

For reBAR, mobo + CPU needs support. RTX 30xx has reBAR support.

Yeah I found the asus link itself where they said 30xx series has this feature enabled but I am not able to find VBIOS on asus site for my card.
And I am not sure about updating mobo bios right now because of frequent power cut in my area, I do not have UPS right now. Since the gain is only marginal I can wait for this until I get UPS.

Let me rephrase, you don't need to update vBIOS of GPU.

Also, why don't you have a UPS in India? Buy a 1kVa UPS first.

+1. Running any pc in India without ups is risky no matter where you are especially if also using a graphics card which is not a GT710/730 equivalent or lower.

Asus Dual RX 6700 XT 12GB Gaming Graphics Card (₹35,999 ) Mdcomputer
vs
Inno3d RTX 3060 Ti Twin X2 LHR 8GB Graphics Card (₹39,999) Mdcomputers
Which one to buy?
Is the DLSS 2.0 better or the FSR 2.0? (I am using a 1080p 144hz monitor)
Or should i wait for mid range RX7000 series and RTX 4000 series?
Currently using Ryzen 5 5600x and GTX1070 on a AntecVp500PC power supply. I am planning to buy Adata Core Reactor 750W. Mdcomputers
I am using a B350 Motherboard that was around 7k when i bought it. Will i need to upgrade to a better PSU for these Graphic cards?

What is the best gpu for 1440p 144hz gaming?
I am asking amd gpus only.

6700XT has better rasterization and more VRAM. 3060 Ti has better RT performance and DLSS is still better than FSR especially at a resolution like 1080p. Despite FSR being open DLSS seems to be the popular one. A Plague Tale Requiem for instance only has DLSS. Regardless Nvidia cards support FSR too.

6700XT is more VFM option IMO. More VRAM will help with longevity, but for 1440p.

DLSS is slightly better than FSR, but some games have DLSS exclusively. At 1080p, DLSS/FSR is not worth it IMO as any lower render resolution for DLSS doesn't have enough info for good upscaling. For 1440p, DLSS/FSR quality mode renders at close to 1080p & upscales to 1440p, anything below is not good.

For 1080p gaming, better get RX 6600 for 25k or so, it is enough, but so is your 1070 for now. If you don't plan to jump to 1440p, stick to 1070 & maybe make the purchase after 9-10months.

Do upgrade the PSU. One you linked is 650W, but that will be fine as well.

Is it a good idea to pair a rtx 3070 ti with corsair txm 550?or does it require at least a 650/700w psu?

3070Ti uses 290W by itself.

At least 750W is needed. Upto 3070 is fine with 650W. Because of efficiency losses, expect like 80% of rated power as output, so for 550W, it is like 440W, which is not enough. If you have to use TX550M temporarily, UV & power limit the GPU to maybe 180W.

A good 550w PSU can stretch till an RTX 3070, not too sure about 3070 ti. What CPU will you be pairing it with? 650w will be fine. Even if a 550w PSU can handle a 3070 ti, you'll have to account for transient spikes in power draw.

80% 500w psu efficiency means psu draws 625w of power from mains to deliver 500w at 80% efficiency. It is the power draw which becomes more than rated output because of inefficiency & not the other way round.

Oh. Didn't know this, looks like the case.

But that will make many PSU calculations wrong. Like my PC + monitor (30W), draws 400W from wall in total while gaming. So 550W PSU would have sufficed, but 650W is recommended. Maybe peak efficiency at 50-60% load is considered for such calculations & potential headroom.

PSU rated power output is actually the sum of power output on 12v, 5v & 3.3v rails with different max current capacity hence different max power output on each rail. In older psu it typically used to be something like 30A on 12V so 360w(12*30) on 12v & 25A on 5V so 125w(25*5) on 5v & 20A on 3.3V so around 65w on 3.3v rail to give total power output of 550w. However 12v rail output is the most important because of its usage by processor, graphics card & motherboard so in above example of 550w psu its "practical output" should be considered as around 360W only(5v & 3.3v are mainly used by hdd/ssd & usb devices).
