EVGA XC Black RTX 3050 - Now Selling For $600

EVGA XC Black RTX 3050 - Only Great At $249. The EVGA XC Black is a solid entry level card in the NVIDIA lineup, the card runs cool with plenty of room for overclocking and plays games at 1080p with pretty high FPS. On launch day all cards were already out of stock and they are selling on Ebay in excess of $600 now, which in my opinion is just plain BS.

If the cards were actually avaialble for the MSRP they would be a good deal, but at twice the retail price is just too much for an entry level card. Do you guys agree?

This current GPU situation makes me happy about buying GTX 1080 5 years ago as it's the most energy efficient 80 card nvidia ever made and it still get me trough modern games just fine.

Got a 3060ti at Microcenter for 440 usd (was a gigabyte oc card) in Dec 2020 and I can't believe how lucky I was. It has not come down at all, in fact, I could sell my used card for much more than I bought it for. Crazy how the prices have just skyrocketed.

My dude, you DON'T need to ask for likes and subs, you have them won right off the bat. Your content is amazing, man, keep up the good work and take care of yourself, man, we want to see you with us for a long-ass time.

This would be a $149 GPU in a normal market

😮It's extraordinary how the MSRP remains mythical. Brave of you to give this review a try. Value your opinion. Have been for years. Good luck with the move!

I knew this would happen the moment it was announced and YouTubers claimed the price. It would go for almost 1000. People will not stop doing this until there are consequences of some sort. It’s easy money for them.

GA106 is 3060 silicon. Because of this, there will be so few of these available in the wild that finding a 6500XT will be a walk in the park in comparison. 3050 IS about 20% faster than the 6500XT, but you gotta find it.

Hello from Slovakia ., Been your fun over 10 years . Still fighting hard from hard man. Best regards .

Prices are awful, however the reviews are always helpful because when these things do become available - even at current high msrp - have the information to know what's crap and what's worth at least looking at.

Also, commenting to appease the algorithm gods

So a card that was apparently designed to deter miners from buying it still got people re-selling it for over double...

[Dobrufusnoretro]

Ive seen last week 6500 xt for 215€ and rtx 3050 for 425€ (the cheapest one) and I really just wanted a 200 gpu for the longest time to couple with my i5 11400 so I went with the 6500 xt.

[manygatos]

Got a new rx 6500 xt for my new pcie 4.0 low power build it’s the only card that makes sense atm, I can see it getting scalped in a few months once the drivers mature just like the rx 5500xt was

in italy is also worst, they made 1 to 1 dollar to euro conversion and added more than 22% up to the price. yesterday i saw a shop selling it for 650 euro that is a lot more expensive than 600 dollars

[dragontechgaming]

the reason why the cards bounce back and fort is because Vulkan API loves the AMD architecture and OpenGL loves the Nvidia architecture.
as for DX11 well that's pretty much up to Windows team and how the game is developed.

[Kryptic]

I appreciate your honesty in this video, and I agree with everything you said. I don't blame you for being p*ssed off at the whole situation, the whole GPU market is just a clusterf--k right now.

[Retrocidal]

Damn it's about time youtube pushed me a video 📹 👍

[traversharty]

I can't help but think most reviewers still fell for the MSRP even if they factored in that it would cost a lot more as the reviews were generally favorable. You can get a superior 6600 for around same or less in real-world prices and that card got less favorable reviews on launch. Gamers Nexus called it "Insultingly Bad Value". Thanks for the honest recap.

[abdulhkeem.alhadhrami]

In this day and age of "Scalping" that price is only a pipe dream.

[Vern_Levine]

I was just thinking about how I bought a 980 ti when it was new for $600 and I thought that was a lot. Then I couldn’t believe the cost of a 1080 ti when bought it….$700! That was getting way too rich for my blood. Well, then I got a “good “ deal on a 3080 ti FTW when those came out for $950 (with big EVGA Discount that I had) and I’m starting to question why I’m buying these card’s anymore. Seriously. I bought this because I could afford it and sold my 3 year old 1080 ti for only $50 less than what I bought it for! If not for photo/video editing I’d really reconsider. It doesn’t help the quality of most games is vastly worse than twenty years ago. Kinda kills the motivation. I’m starting to question whether I should just move to consoles (gag)
