Reviews can come out before!

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 reviews will be posted on January 26th at 6 AM PDT, exactly 24 hours before the card officially goes on sale.

Just having a look at announced versions, seems they all have at least 2 dp ports and 1 hdmi (usually 3 dp and 1 hdmi or 2 of each) which I need for my setup, another failing of the 6500xt.

As a long term ATI/AMD graphics user I do feel odd that I am looking at nvidia as my only choice.

There's a video up on Youtube comparing the 1660Ti to the 3050 (unsure if it's legit) but the two cards really do trade blows, its a few fps in either direction in pretty much all games.
1660Tis are selling for ~ £300 on eBay so if the 3050 comes out in the low/mid £200s that's not bad! (relatively)

Reviews should drop around 2pm I think

So does that mean the 1660Ti's going to drop in price, or the 3050's going to go up, I wonder...

No, no I dont, it'll get scalped to death lol

So..

2060 KO is better
The 2060 Super is about the same
If you have a 980Ti/1070 or above don't bother

I'm very interested to see DLSS results

Well that was awful, Scan was down, few places didn't even have any and eBuyer let me put one @ £239.99 into my basket then emptied it, OCUK didnt have any below £300 (that I could see)

I can mirror your experience. Was worth a shot.

I would accept a 6500xt but it literally doesn't have enough outputs for my use.

How long until they are all on ebay?

[Spreadie]

Yep, attempting get anything at Scan was a joke.

Looped captcha challenges then frozen out for 20 minutes. Once it cleared, there was nothing to see.

[Percy1983]

Surprised scan don't have the queue it system, it would put us in at least a queue to connect, may still be unsuccessful but at least it would be less random than refreshing at the correct millisecond.

Is this for the 3050? Just went to scan and 2 different ones available at time of writing

MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GAMING X 8GB Ampere Graphics Card - £369.98

Palit NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8GB StormX Ampere Graphics Card - £239.99

ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8GB TWIN EDGE OC Ampere Graphics Card - £299.99

[Jonj1611]

All in stock while writing that and now all out of stock

[Percy1983]

already one listed on ebay

Not sure they were, I had been looking at scan whilst writing my above posts so maybe a glitch :/

already one listed on ebay

Even showing the Ocuk order page on one auction!

[Jonj1611]

Maybe a glitch but out of stock items don't show the prices. All had add to basket next to them

[Percy1983]

Scalpers, the reason we can't have nice things. I very much doubt miners are after these.

I might send all the ebay listing accepting offers and £239.99 offer in the notes ass the message 'its not too late to save your soul', none will accept.

I managed to bag one of the Palit ones for £239.99, free delivery, we did have a chuckle at the guy scalping his and leaving his order details on there, needless to say, he and others that OCUK identified, won't be getting cards, same with those that ordered one of every card, won't get any..
