The NVIDIA RTX 3060 already have a price of almost 500 dollars and that they are not for sale yet

This same week, specifically on the 25th, the NVIDIA GTX 3060 are launched on the market. They are the first graphics cards to be launched on the market with the restrictions for mining. It seems that with these restrictions there will be a stock of these new graphics cards. The problem with the RTX 3060 is in the price, which is much higher than that marked by NVIDIA.

The NVIDIA RTX 3060 will be much more expensive than indicated by the company

The NVIDIA RTX 3060 stands out for being the first to limit mining performance. They are based on a combination of driver, GPU and BIOS limitations that significantly reduce performance. This makes them uninteresting for mining cryptocurrencies like Ethereum.

Initially the GTX 3060 has been marked by NVIDIA with a price of 329 dollars. But these graphics have not reached the market and they have already become 50% more expensive. The MSI RTX 3060 VENTUS X2 would be the cheapest of all for a price of $ 484.99. While the most expensive model is the MSI RTX 3060 Gaming X Trio with a price of 514.99 dollars.

The rest of the models will have these prices:

• MSI GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING X: $ 514.99
• MSI GeForce RTX 3060 VENTUS X2: $ 484.99
• ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3060 TWIN EDGE: $ 499.99
• ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING: $ 499.99
• ASUS TUF GAMING GeForce RTX 3060: $ 489.99

Without a doubt, we are talking about very expensive prices and more if we compare with the launch price of the RTX 3060 Ti, which was $ 399. Of course, finding an RTX 3060 Ti at that price is a real fluke.

It should be noted that despite the price, the RTX 3060 arrives with 3584 CUDA Cores, 112 Tensor Cores and 28 RT Cores. It will work at a base frequency of 1320MHz and will be able to arrive in Boost mode at 1780MHz. It is accompanied by 12GB GDDR6 with a 192bits memory bus and has a TDP of 170W.
