Windows 10: Purchased MSI RTX 3060 ti yesterday...and sent it back today

dr3ams · Jan 10, 2023

I purchased a MSI RTX 3060 ti as an upgrade to my Sapphire RX 570 8GB Nitro+. Before I bought it I checked a few videos on YouTube, which gave it an overall positive review. After installing it and setting up the drivers and software, I fired up The Division 2 to see what the card could do. After about 3 minutes of gameplay, I noticed some very loud fan noises. I pressed ALT+Z and looking at NVIDIA's overlay, I noticed the card temp at 83 C and the fan rpms at 2300.

WTF?!

I tried several...

New Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti not recognized, need help troubleshooting

I paid $650 USD not sure if that was better than peak or not, but missed out on the 3070 Ti for $730 two weeks ago...

Last year I got on a waiting list. In October I received two notifications at the same time. I had 48 hours to pick either the:
1) ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Republic of Gamers Strix V2 OC
2) ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 TUF GAMING V2 OC

I chose the RTX 3060 Ti and paid $650 USD.

I could have bought the card anytime elsewhere but there was no way I was going to pay the buy now price then of $1000-$1100 USD.

Installed new RTX 3060 Ti - Crashing while idle

I decided to open this thread back up because I got a completely new and different model of the RTX 3060 Ti and still getting hard crashes without BSOD while watching videos. My computer completely locks up making a loud buzzing sound from my headphones. I didn't have a mini dump file this time around. I've done MEMtest and everything was fine. New drivers with DDU for the graphics card.. I'm completely stumped. Not sure what to do. While I was waiting for my refund and the new card to arrive I went back to older cards and the issue wasn't happening on my 1060, 970 or Intel HD graphics. It's only with RTX 3060 Ti. I can game on the new card for hours and hours and it's completely fine. I am only running into this issue when idle or watching videos. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Turns out it might have been Nvidia Broadcast. I was trying this out when I got the first 3060 Ti and uninstalled it when I returned the suspected faulty card and used my old card until the new one arrived. I didn't run into the BSOD issue anymore. I re-installed Nvidia Broadcast with the new 3060 Ti when it arrived and happened again. I ran driver verifier to check and it was triggering a BSOD with nvrtxvad64v.sys so I have uninstalled it completely. I will reply to this post if I still run into any issues.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti coming December 2nd

The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, the first member of the RTX 3060 family, is coming December 2nd. Faster than the $699 RTX 2080 SUPER, and beating the RTX 2060 SUPER by an average of 40%, the new $399 RTX 3060 Ti is a tremendous addition to the GeForce RTX 30 Series.

Whether you’re playing rasterized games or cutting-edge ray-traced titles, or powering through creator and productivity workflows, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti delivers the best possible experience in its class.

This is possible thanks to the advanced NVIDIA Ampere Architecture, featuring 2nd Generation Ray Tracing Cores, 3rd Generation Tensor Cores for AI, and critically acclaimed tech like NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex, and NVIDIA Broadcast. These technologies improve your gaming, accelerate your gameplay, make voice chat clearer and better, and enhance your video calls with friends, family and colleagues.

No other platform offers these advantages - if you want the best possible experience, whether that’s in a game, productivity task, creative workflow, or simply when chatting and video calling, GeForce RTX is the only game in town.

This year we’ve worked hand in hand with CD PROJEKT RED, Activision, Ubisoft and others to bring immersive, game-changing ray-traced effects to Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Watch Dogs: Legion, and more.

We’ve also brought performance accelerating NVIDIA DLSS technology to over 25 games, and more are adding this transformative, sought-after tech every month. Better performance, as-good-as or better anti-aliasing and visual clarity, and other improvements make it a no-brainer, giving GeForce RTX gamers massively faster frame rates.

By the end of the year, nearly a dozen games will have adopted our newest technology, NVIDIA Reflex. This reduces system latency (‘input lag’), making games more responsive, giving players in competitive multiplayer titles an extra edge over the opposition -- hopefully leading to more kills and wins.

With NVIDIA Broadcast, an evolution of the highly regarded RTX Voice beta app, we have audio and video AI enhancements you can apply to your Discord chats, Skype calls and video meetings. And now, we have released the technology powering NVIDIA Broadcast to our partners so they can add these AI effects to their apps and give users more control.

This allows users to remove background noise per audio track in XSplit Broadcast, apply noise removal to videos in Adobe Premiere Pro with VoiceFX, do motion tracking with a simple webcam in Notch, and capture your content at 4K on a second PC without the need of a capture card with NDI.

All this is to say that the $399 GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is just as feature-rich as the GeForce RTX 30 Series cards that came before it. It offers the same set of powerful features, with the industry’s best ray tracing technology. And, it also supports NVIDIA DLSS, our AI-powered performance accelerator that massively boosts frame rates in graphically demanding titles.

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPUs come bundled with a one-year GeForce NOW Founders membership, available to existing or new members. So, when you’re away from your rig, you can still play your favorite games with amazing GeForce features like RTX and DLSS, even on a Mac, Chromebook, Android or iPhone. That’s the power of GeForce NOW.

And if you do buy one of these amazing new graphics cards, be sure to download and install the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Game Ready Driver on December 2nd to unlock its full potential.
