GPU guy at Tom's Hardware. Formerly of The Tech Report (RIP), Asus, and Intel. Opinions and failings are mine alone.
I'm dubious on the idea that businesses really care about a $349 price tag, which is more of a concern for cards that aren't making money for the user in exchange. Business buyers are going to be looking over the full HW/SW stack and judging that against whether the card makes the worker productive.

The 3060 12GB is a 4yo GPU and it is already slow in modern titles even before running out of VRAM. By the time you're pushing that limit, you're already in unplayable territory in most games.

The RX 9060 XT 8GB is like 40% faster than a 3060 at 1080p! Spending more on an ancient product is a waste

More recently I did technical marketing for Asus before joining Intel as part of the Arc graphics program. My time at Intel unfortunately came to an end late last year, but I'm back to my roots doing hands-on testing and analysis as a member of the tech press and I couldn't be happier.

A bit about me: I've been building my own PCs for almost 20 years and writing about everything inside (and outside) of them for over a decade. I used to review CPUs and GPUs (and more) for The Tech Report, which was responsible for thrusting frame-time-based game testing methods into the mainstream.
