Sales of GeForce RTX 3060 start. Surprisingly, the video card can be purchased for the recommended $ 330

Sales of the new Nvidia video card – GeForce RTX 3060 start today. This is the first Nvidia model with limited mining performance, and therefore it is hoped that it will not be as interesting to cryptocurrency miners as the older models. And this, in turn, gives hope for the stabilization of the volume of stocks and prices.

The novelty is already presented in the catalogs of various online and brick-and-mortar stores, and judging by the US market, some models can still be bought for the manufacturer’s recommended price of $ 330. For example, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Eagle and EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Black Gaming are rated exactly at this amount in the BestBuy catalog. Slightly more expensive than EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Gaming ($ 390), EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Gaming and Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge – $ 400 each.

But the prices for other models are no longer pleasing:

• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Eagle OC – $ 460;
• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC – $ 480;
• Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC – 490 долларов;
• MSI Geforce RTX 3060 Ventus 3X 12G OC – $ 500;
• Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 – $ 500;
• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Vision OC – $ 500;
• MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 3X 12G OC – $ 500;
• Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3060 OC – $ 520;
• MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming X 12G – $ 520;
• Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 3060 Elite 12G – 520 долларов;
• MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming X Trio 12G – $ 540;
• PNY GeForce RTX 3060 12GB XLR8 Gaming Revel Epic-X RGB Single Fan – 625 долларов;
• PNY GeForce RTX 3060 12GB XLR8 Gaming Revel Epic-X RGB Dual Fan – 630 долларов.

Note that the prices for equipment in the North American market are traditionally lower than in other regions and Europe. As for the performance of the GeForce RTX 3060, according to 3DMark tests, it is approximately on par with the GeForce RTX 2070.
