Debug Focus is a website I made because I a lot of random tech and impulse purchases and often have very strong opinions on them, however I don't always want to flood my youtube channels with reviews of everything that comes through my door, or sometimes I want to go more in-depth with a product without making a 30 minute long video that will cause viewer retention to drop, whatever the case, I have this site now!

Firstly I want to preface by stating that I don't have the card on hand right now, i will be posting both a first impressions and a review once I get the card on hand, i'm mostly going to be talking about the journey it has been to even secure the card.
My troubles with GPUs started wayy before nvidia's new ampere cards were "a thing" in early 2020 i was depending on a friend's 1060 3GB and while it was fine it was severely bottlenecking my system with most games requiring 4GB of vram to run on anything more than low texture quality, initially i had my sights set on a 2070 super as thats what my friends had, but since everyone else decided to build PCs the price of 20xx cards increased, by the time i had enough money all i could afford was an open box 1660, the MSI gaming X 1660 to be exact, as talks of new cards started happening i decided to try and get a 2070 again seeing as under normal circumstances the prices of soon-to-be outdated cards would drop significantly after the 3090, 3080 and 3070 were announced prices did the opposite, every single new GPU seemed to double or triple in price overnight, even my 1660 which would have been had for about $350AUD new was (and still is) at least $600 new, I basically gave up on the purchase of a new graphics card considering my 1660 can run anything i want anyway (with adjusted settings) however i still was frequently checking online retailers, as time went on and nvidia's planned obsolescence of GTX cards (exclusion from RTX voice, RTX broadcast, DLSS, the built in nvidia overclocking, etc. etc.) it seemed increasingly obvious that the 1660 had-to-go, that and VR being kinda laggy on my rig when recording or streaming, after saving for a few weeks i took to google one morning hellbent on purchasing 2 things a 3060 and a 700w power supply as i recently learnt my current corsair vs450 (grey label) was a fire hazard for anything other than iGPU systems (yikes) for those who care i picked out the Corsair RM750, a 750w 80+ Gold certified power supply, mostly because a classmate has it and its modular and considering how my current psu shroud looks, i definitely can use the upgrade...
