NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 available at the end of February (updated)
February will see the availability of the recently announced GeForce RTX 3060. Sources now claim to have learned the final availability to be in late February.
A precise date is not claimed as typical for NVIDIA, it can shift slightly, but February 28 would be indicated by Wccftech. However, since that is on a Sunday, that's not going to happen. Considering all NVIDIA launches are on a Tuesday or Thursday, it would be far more logical to see either Tuesday the 23rd or Thursday the 25th. The reviews of the cards should also come online around that time, and with confusing seeding dates (19th), all doesn't line up well just yet.

The reference model's suggested retail price is $329. The Word is that there will not be a Founders Edition this round. The more customized cards will likely be more expensive than that $329. Earlier leaked etailer prices have indicated card to become as expensive as a founder edition GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ($399).
Updated: new information now strongly suggests a February 25th release date.

In the CES presentation, you will have spotted a single blower style product, but that one was for illustrative reasons solely, it now seems. The card will be based on an 8nm fabrication APmpere GPU that offers 3584 shader cores, 28 RT Cores, and 112 Tensor Cores, a 1320/1777 MHz GPU and which integrates 12 GB of 192-bit GDDR6 memory.

$ 329 ? Hahaha 3060ti is already listed for 950 - 999.27 $ here. So yeah... It will be at least 750-850 range. Crazy.
Meanwhile Nvidia Geforce NOW is getting bigger and bigger. https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2021/01/21/geforce-now-alliance-pentanet/
I believe GPU prices will go way higher at next series and will stay there, this is a big opportunity for Nvidia (also AMD > they have Stadia and consoles) to raise prices. Not only Gpu prices but also mainboards and other pc components will go higher possibly. This is not an issue for rich people but for people like me it is a disaster. And no this is not only about miners and tariffs. Sad.

More BS cards we can not buy. Do not see the point any more in reviewing cards anymore as we can not get them.

Don't worry GTX 2770 and GTX 2660 cards are coming without ray tracing and dlss support for a more affordable 300$ USD and 400$ USD.
I don't regret buying my 5700XT one year ago. It was supposed to be a stop gap 3k res card while waiting for RTX 3k and i had buyer remorse with all the early bugs but it's slowly turning out to be one of the best purchase i ever made. 2070 Super level of performance for 200$ CAD less money and at this rate i'll be able to sell it for more money than i paid for it.
I'm starting to regret, a little bit, not ordering a 3060 Ti on day one. I might already have it, and while expensive, it would have been cheaper than the current, ridiculous prices.
