Are 3060's being sold near MSRP?

The509 · 27 Mar 2021 at 12:10

Looking for a Zotac 3060 white edition, or failing that any non single fan 3060. I know there is a shortage ect, just wondered if OCUK is actually selling them for MSRP, i.e £300-£350. I have seen they have sold some recently but when they are out of stock there is no pricing.

Recently paid £350 for a 1660 super... because you know, the world sucks atm.

If there is any chance at getting a 3060 that would be a nice surprise for my Nephew.

I would doubt that any cards are being sold at MSRP other than directly by the manufacturer. The world does indeed suck just now!

It’s so hard to find a good white GPU

Retailers can't even buy from their suppliers at MSRP.

Retailers can barely even buy any gpus anyway! Only cards you can generally get at rrp are FE. But that's 3060ti and above and rare. Otherwise just keep an eye out for an ocuk voucher deal maybe next week

Actually the easiest card to get is the 3070.

Getting a 3060ti is harder.

the 3060 and 3060 ti are the worst cards to buy at the moment in my opinion. They are selling far above MSRP and are not even that competitive with the 20 series they are meant to replace.

BlueInf · 27 Mar 2021 at 23:43

The 3060ti price is pushed close to the 3070 because it is one of the best mining card

Cards are increasing in price weekly atm and I would expect that to continue for the foreseeable future, nowhere near MSRP.

Overshockers voucher deal is the best way to go if you are one of the chosen/lucky few.

Both are pretty efficient for mining though. Nvidias efforts to block the 3060 for mining were weak.

Yer, Nvidia's anti-miner bios is about as effective as the launch bios on the Radeon 7

What is the MSRP on a 3060 Ti?

Wondering if I got roasted.

£369 RRP, the 3060 was £299. We wont see those prices for at least 12-18 months though. Maybe never...

The FE was £369 but the AIB's have all said that Nvidia's MSRP this series was a joke across the board and that they had no chance of hitting it without Nvidia reducing the price of the chip and board etc. Realisically the MSRP of the 3060ti is about £400 with top end cards closer to £450

To be fair MSRP has become a joke in general with companies quoting stupidly low figures just to look good in their big reveal events

Yes it’s true!
We’re fedup of the silly impossible MSRPs that only last for five minutes when a product launches.

For example an AMD 6700 XT launched at £419.99 and the cheapest 6700 XT as of this week for us to buy is the Powercolour Fighter SKU and our cost is $575.00 plus tax which makes hitting under £500 impossible let alone the MSRP of £419.99 and we buy direct from Asia from manufacturer.

This is how miss leading MSRPs have become it’s a stunt for the first day of launch to win reviews because wow great value for money but the price is not realistic that within a month later from launch we can’t even get within £100 of the MSRP and based on our latest cost it will be a struggle to get within £200 of MSRP and actually make some profit.

To answer your question of 3060 at MSRP we sold some OC models last week at £359.99 to loyal forum members. Going rate for such models is £500-600 online and around £800 on Ebay.

a competitor had some 3060's the other day at £649+ vat

so the prices oc have charged to loyal members have been exceptional

Roasted indeed. I paid £567 for mine about a month ago. Needs must I guess. I was specifically going for bang for buck performance without the hash limitations of the later RTX models. I'm for gaming not mining, but the limitations don't sit well with me.
