I think the 3060 is the upper ceiling that still makes sense here as the tdp tends to be a bit too high from here onward and with 12GB VRAM, I kinda even find it more future proof than the 3060 Ti in the long run with more and more games already using 8GB.I personally don't prefer the Aero series from MSI as it cannot be noctuarized properly. I do really find that 198mm Gigabyte Windforce 3060 with it's dual 90mm fans and vertical fins quite appealing however. It's great looking and very good use of space as well, also a good recipient for a fan switch to make it quiet - which is not always the case with EVGA's 202mm version with their smaller fans nor the Aero series. There's also the PNY single fan gpu that looks quite neat (with it's hexagonal motifs resembling the ventilation of Velkase side panels) while the single fanned card from Asus is unfortunately more than 2 slot.
