Nice to hear! Sounds great. The 3060 doesn't really need undervolting, it already uses so little power that there's not much energy wasted or coil noise.
At 56°, it seems you got one of the cards that basically have the same cooler of the bigger cards. Similar to the 3070 of a friend that has the same cooler as my 3080 (and the 3090 too).
Overclocking would be easy though:
Just install afterburner and put the power limit and voltage to the maximum (unlink power and temperature limit before, so it stays at 80°c).
It's just enabling the vBios maximum, nothing to worry about. Gives the card some headroom to clock a bit higher or keep the clocks longer if needed.
Oh that's even nicer to hear!
Yep, balanced combo for that resolution! Probably around the same performance as my 3080 at 3440x1440.
Make use of dlss at the highest quality available in the games. Imo it's just great nowadays. Looks better than without it, while saving energy and giving more performance headroom.
And if you find a game that has pixel crawling / shimmering no matter the anti aliasing settings:
Enable DLDSR (nvidia control panel, 3D settings, global: DSR - > select the two DLDSR multipliers).
It upscales the image via DLSS and then filters it down like normal DSR.
Doesnt cost too much performance and looks pretty great!
I use it a lot on my 16:9 24" 1080p Monitor for older games or games without proper anti aliasing (Gothic 2, Witcher 2&3).
Looks way smoother/calmer than my 1440p monitor without it.
I really try hard not to be a fanboy of anything, but as someone who complained about lacking anti aliasing for the last 10 years (transition from msaa over fxaa only to TAA in the gaming industry), it's a massive game changer.
Only works in fullscreen though. Borderless Window will show the upscaled image, out of bounds of your monitor.
Pretty neat for screenshots too, since the screenshots don't get filtered, resulting in a higher resolution
