For 300 euros, especially if the purpose of purchase is gaming... I would not recommend the card at all. There are much better deals both from Nvidia and AMD (and soon enough, with the pace at which they are improving their drivers, possibly from Intel as well). In case you are interested in a more professional workload, the purchase might be more reasonable, but again, everything depends on what you intend to use it for.
Personally, I bought it for 300 euros, one month after it was released, with the *** that JmcTech does (bless him), and still with a heavy heart because my power supply (500W) would barely run the 3060 Ti DDR6X, which you can still find the Asus model on skroutz for around 320 euros. It's a great purchase if you're looking for a new card and have a 600 or 650W power supply for productivity and want Nvidia, no doubt about it. The 115W is therefore for me the only redemption that can justify the card, a power consumption that no one can deny the mastery of TSMC and NVIDIA. Let's go back to the negatives in case they deter someone from buying it:
Even the 8GB VRAM might not be enough soon if you base your purchase on DLSS3 as it increases VRAM usage. But it's enough for 99% of modern games. (Come on guys, set the textures to high, the difference in 1080p compared to Ultra, etc., is not that huge). Okay, I'll stop with the excessive talk and to finish off, if you want it for gaming, there's the 6700xt for 330 euros on skroutz now... DO NOT BUY the card for more than 300 euros, and even at this price, consider the 6650xt or 7600 for 260 euros, unless you have a serious reason to be limited to the Nvidia environment.
