Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 EAGLE 8GB Video Card $529 + Delivery @ Skycomp Technology

100

Getting closer to the mythical $450 range where these cards might be better received in the current climate.

Compares well to a 1660 Super but adds DLSS, Ray Tracing, and a total of 8 GB RAM.

Personally would be waiting for sub-$600 RX 6600s, but if you need it, here it is.

    Cheapest 6600 was 569$ a few month ago so I think it would drop again.

    I say the 6600 is the better deal for most gamers out there, but go with the 3050 if you happen to play on a 1440p monitor or wanted to do some casual streaming.

  • How much difference in performance compared to say a MSI RTX3060 AERO ITX graphics card? well any 3060 graphics card?

        Added more cards (incl. AMD cards) for reference. I hope I am correct :)

          You’re correct, here’s a more thorough table for all cards, both AMD and team green

          Do note that this table, and your comment disregard any additional features, mainly RT, DLSS(fsr is far from mainstream to be comparable to DLSS unfortunately) and nvnec encoding.

          A similar tiered/priced AMD card will always have better game performance at lower cost, Nvidia cards will be better if you wanted raytracing, if you wanted to play at a resolution above what your card is normally capable of, or if you wanted to do some streaming without a second dedicated streaming PC.

    Im curious to know why are these GPU at atrocious price ? I remember a feel year ago a $999 was a high end, now $2k+ lol

    OC version $549 with free shipping maybe slightly better deal?

    • I agree, free shipping over $99. If delivering, this will be the better deal, put that delivery cost from OP's post into upgrading your card instead.

    How does this compare to a 1070?

    • -2

      1070Ti flogs it.

        what about a 9800 Pro?

        • +1

          Radeon 9800 XT flogs 9800 Pro.

    hopefully next drop will be under $500

    Should outperform a 2060 in time, but it's a generation further along, so paying the same price as a 2060 is appalling value.

    Hopefully these get cut to US $199 MSRP quickly.
