So, who does the 3060 cater for? Because right now, it's almost better to buy a 2060 Super than the new card or, like Yuri said, go for the higher model.

Me. 3060 seems good enough for its MSRP, and even the MSRP of 3060 Ti is more than I'm interested in paying for a graphics card. On the other hand, going for anything much weaker than 3060 is already going pretty low.

Valve Ordered to Give Apple Information on 436 Steam Games As Part of Epic Games Legal Case

I don't get how this makes sense. A company that has nothing to do with this lawsuit gets dragged into it? How does that even make sense? I mean I guess it could, but there's got to be some elaborate argument behind this.

I think Nvidia messed up this time and the 3060 should have had the performance of the 3060Ti. Then it would have been a good upgrade. But given how it performs, it could have been the 3050Ti that Viv is asking for.

Of course, it also depends on where you come from and how big the upgrade will be but, comparing it with theprevious generation, the performance jump is smaller than the rest of the Ampere cards.

As for Valve-Apple-Epic, they say it in the article posted by Yuri. Epic says that the 30% cut that Apple makes is unfair, and Apple is using Valve to defend themseles because Valve also get a 30% cut, and they'll use that to claim that it's a common practice.

The problem here, and it's something that Epic can use against that if they have better lawyers (or at least better than  Valve's), is that developers are given free keys that they put on sale at other platforms like Humble Bundle, Fanatical, GMG, etc. from wich Valve gets nothing, something that Apple doesn't do.
