3060s are popular at a certain price/performance level for certain AI workloads, because they have a lot of VRAM for the price. And underclocking GPUs is also somewhat popular because AI workloads are bottlenecked more by memory bandwidth that compute speed.
At least…in theory. I’ve never heard of people underclocking 3060s specifically. I’m skeptical. And at $500 I think they’ve thrown price/performance out the window.
I’m sure some crazy person is going to put 8 of these in a jury-rigged case made of scrap wood.
