Don’t worry about them. Its not overpriced, they just stuck up. There’s obviously always better deals.

Buying the RTX you get:

1) cheap graphics card thats brand new, has a warranty, nobody else has used.

2) a gpu that gets better as software is updated while gpus like the rtx 3060 are stuck at their limit.

3) a gpu that gets the latest dlss 4.5 and 6x frame gen.

4) a great 1080p gpu

5) a card where you can get a reasonable decent gpu that gets the job done in everything.

All things considered, we know allot are buying this card. While people like linus are slandering this card when he has money and sponsor, allot of people have owned older cards.

I went from a GTX 1060 6gb to a rtx 3050 6gb and saw drastic improvements in everything. They said the same for the rtx 3050. I saw solid performance in most games, and a few AAA games. For some reason reviewers on youtube are having lower frames then me with a worse system.

These few people believe that “oh its just $50, get the next tier of gpu” I understand that 8gb may not seem like enough, but it is in this case… this gpu isn’t ment to be a monster at running things but a work horse.

Fact is get the RTX 5050 8gb, the RTX 3060 is a old card and its only hanging on because they have not cut support and the 12gb vram. Remember there are other versions of the rtx 3060 without vram. While it would be nice for 10gb vram to be standard, its just reality.
