Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU

Haha, that's hilarious.

I think that if you can get one at anything close to MSRP, it would be a minor miracle.

There are reportedly 2 versions, one with 8GB of VRAM, the other with 4. (I presume that the 4GB version is th3 $249 list one.) There are differences beyond the amount of RAM.

The 3060 was released at $329. If you check out the availability of the 3060 at NewEgg, they start at around $800. Maybe the 3050 will be a mere $600.

That may be why "PParks" finds your post "hilarious".

Unless you are seriously new to the game and have no idea what to get yeah that's reasonable for someone thinking their saving bucks and getting a deal we all been there.
That card probably has enough umph to boot my screen at best no way you'll play games on 3440x1440 with that.

Yes, bobkn, that's exactly it.

Who plans to buy it? Well, anybody who cannot get any other card, which is everybody.
It's going to be $249. Yeah, only for the scalpers and the bots who gobble everything up.

Just another 3000 series card that I highly doubt anybody is going to be able to find.

That card is going to be $600 easy not even worth talking about.
People should just realize nothing is going back to normal and if you want it either play the shuffle game or try to talk down prices or just close your eyes and click buy either way your pocket is gonna get emptied lol

I presume that's a reference to the "NewEgg shuffle". I played it for a while, but never "won".
