Yes, that was a typo: RTX 3060Ti.

"fairly decent"? It blows all the other computers in house away! Well, maybe not my 16-core 32GB Opteron system, but that's not a gaming system either.

An AMD integrated graphics CPU (or "APU" they're sometimes called) or separate CPU and GPU? For example this HP system has a Ryzen APU:

but I'm having trouble comparing the GPU performance of that system against, say, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060Ti.
