I'm hoping ocuk may do a £229 early bird special.

RTX 3050 - starting at $249 (msrp)

Keep that hope!
If Nvidia provide a discount to retailers, which won't happen, you might see £250. More likely initial stock at 299. Then quickly over £400 quid. Great budget option.
100% more than the AMD card, but its great budget option? It`ll also be more expensive than the 3060Ti FE card.... go go Nv!
I was being ironic. Especially for those frothing at the mouth at AMD for releasing a genuine 1080p budget card. People seem to want a 6600 xt for 250 quid. It's never going to happen.
yeah that way you get to see the reviews and then you can make a decision not have to order it before it go`s out of stock and then find out it`s crap and have to send it back. AMD fiddle

I'd rather have the reviews on release as will help with demand a little. It won't stop the scalpers or miners, but any less demand increases chances for numero uno.
or watch a review then go and find the msrp cards have sold out already.....

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 is for gamers, not miners

ROFL - you know that LHR is mostly bypassable dont you? That and Nvidia have announced a partnership with FLUX COIN , which isnt LHR limited anyway?

Even if FHR it's still **** for mining. Used prices are falling, mining profits in the toilet. Only issue is aib scalping.

Yeh, about where it was expected to be.

I'd pay £250 max if the reviews confirm it performs like a 1660 ti. Ideally around £220 though.

It's MRSP is £239. It won't be being sold for £250 so no chance at £220.
Given the 6500XT is £225 on Overclockers and some of the cards being sold for £330 then I'd expect £300+ for the 3050. It's said to perform 20% better than a 6500XT and has 8GB of RAM so both demand and cost are going to be high.
So £400 then within day 1.

1660ti performance is less than what most people were expecting, right?

Up to 25% more FPS isn't trashing it tbh
nope. exactly where i expected it to be.
the 3060 is barely faster than a 2060, and the 2060 is the same as a 1080.
i can't fathom why anyone would think that the 3050 would be any faster than a 1660ti at best.
