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.

So 400$ in theory, except that everything else just went up 20-25% on top of the already high prices compared to the FE models. Probably gonna be around 600 EUR for the fifth best card in the series, which is simply not worth it. No availability and stupid prices like we see now may kill PC gaming eventually, I know that I'm considering to find other hobbies in the future. Prices for a high end gaming PC are about 2-3 times higher than they were some years ago locally, which basically means that I'm spending the equivalent of at least 2-300 hundred Euros for each game I play now.

Same people calling me a fool for buying a 2080ti now squirm around me wanting to pay 800+ euros for it.
Feels good and I let em squirm. At least one good thing that came from this supply crisis
