OverclockersClub: EVGA RTX 3060 XC Black Review

Coming full circle, NVIDIA has marketed the RTX 3060 as a direct replacement for those gamers with aging graphics cards. Not only is it marketed to be 2x the performance of a GTX 1060, but it goes head-to-head with NVIDIA RTX 2070 / RTX 2060 Super cards from the previous Turing generation. After running a large set of benchmarks, I can safely say NVIDIA is spot on this time. In many ways, it is better than expected due to improved ray-tracing and DLSS support using NVIDIA's current generation of RTX and Tensor cores, a technology that is absent in all GTX SKUs.

APH Networks: Corsair Katar PRO XT Review

I recently went to a ski hill called Powderkeg located in Blairmore, Alberta. Powderkeg did not have anything unique like long runs or perfect snow powder that other ski resorts near Calgary would have. Powderkeg's website, on the other hand, has the main selling point for why skiers should visit, being their friendly community. While this does not seem like something that would matter much for ski resorts, the friendly atmosphere made for an above-average experience. It was nice to have conversations with people at the top and bottom of the hills. Everyone was happy to recommend their favorite runs. Even though there was nothing special about the runs, the snow was still decently maintained and there was a fair variety of them, varying in difficulty. After paying $54 for a day pass, it was hard to complain about the experience I got when comparing to an average day pass, which usually costs $100 or more. Similarly, when it comes to the Corsair Katar PRO XT, we have a new wired gaming mouse that offers enhanced performance and light weight for an MSRP of only $30. How much enhanced performance? Well, let me say it has the same high-end PixArt PMW3391 sensor as the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite. Just like how Powderkeg advertises a friendly community at a very competitive price, will the Corsair Katar PRO XT be able to provide a good experience and adequate performance for a low-budget gamer?
