    My 3050 runs great. Not as good specs as the 3060 but I’ve had very little issues and it was well worth whatever I paid around 4 years ago

    Welp on the brightside this might help keep my outdated hardware relevant for a while longer…

    Nvidia: “The only way you’re getting more than 8GB on low end cards is if you pay for hardware from two generations ago.”

    I know they don’t care but fuck them.

      Era of $200 dGPUs is over and it’s not even purely due to ML tech impacting component costs. Inflation and overall cost of packaging mean that it’s not viable to have $200 dGPU (outside of the absolute low end that’s barely comparable to mediocre iGPU performance).

    With this and the 5800X3D being manufactured again and Raptor Lake being spun up for yet another refresh, I wonder how long it will be before we see something like the Core 2 Quad Q6600 being resurrected along with the P35 chipset and DDR2.

    I jest, but with much of a farce the industry has become lately, it does make me wonder how much further backwards we’re going to go.

      Bulldozer or bust.

      I ran one of the above for something like 6 years. Absolute power hog, but I’ll be damned if it didn’t keep up. I did have to overclock the hell out of it near the end, but it took to it like a champ.

    I’m running a 3060 and NGL, it’s handling every game I have w/o issue.

    Though it should cost a lot less at this point.

    Yaah, nvidia… get a grip.

      I run a 2060 Super that’s roughly in the ballpark of a regular 3060 (no Resize bar and DLSS2+ support, though) and it runs everything I throw at it.

    Did they actually restart manufacturing this card or just find a warehouse full of old stock?

    $340 is a lot. Sure, it runs almost anything, but not that well. Gonna be selling mine soon and I’ ve been thinking around $200, but I might get more - thanks nvidia.
