Nvidia is reportedly set to restart production of its venerable GeForce RTX 3060 gaming GPU in a bid to find a way for PC gamers to have an affordable but reasonably up-to-date graphics card upgrade over the coming months. For those still stuck on an old GTX-era card, or perhaps with an RTX 2060 or RTX 3050, the RTX 3060 should provide a low-cost performance upgrade that has access to all of Nvidia's latest DLSS 4.5 tech, other than frame generation. Rising to the top of the most popular graphics card list on the October 2024 Steam Hardware Survey, the RTX 3060 was one of the best graphics cards of its time, providing a solid performance upgrade over the RTX 2060, with significantly better ray tracing capabilities. However, it is now just coming up to being five years old, and has been superseded by the RTX 4060 and RTX 5060. For gamers stuck on even older hardware, though, it could be a welcome lifeline.
