Previously revealed at CES 2021, Nvidia has begun notifying retailers and media outlets that the new RTX 3060 will be available starting February 25th at $329.
Unfortunately, Nvidia has not indicated that they will provide a Founders Edition, meaning available models will have to be purchased by third party vendors.
The RTX 3060 will less CUDA Cores than the RTX 3060 Ti, along with 12Gb GDDR6 compared to 8Gb in the more expensive model.
Due to the global chip shortage and strains surrounding the pandemic, expectations are that the new RTX 3060 will be similarly difficult to find as previous entries. Indeed, the 3060 Ti has already fetched much higher prices than MSRP at online retailers.
How much will the RTX 3060 cost?
The Nvidia RTX 3060 will be sold at $329 USD.
Where can I buy the RTX 3060?
There will be no model initially sold by Nvidia. The RTX 3060 can be purchased through official partners including ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac.
It will use GDDR6, not GDDR4.
Also, the 3060Ti will be the one with 8gb. The 3060 will have 12.
