EVGA XC Black RTX 3050 - Now Selling For $600

- EVGA XC Black RTX 3050 - Only Great At $249. The EVGA XC Black is a solid entry level card in the NVIDIA lineup, the card runs cool with plenty of room for overclocking and plays games at 1080p with pretty high FPS. On launch day all cards were already out of stock and they are selling on Ebay in excess of $600 now, which in my opinion is just plain BS.

If the cards were actually avaialble for the MSRP they would be a good deal, but at twice the retail price is just too much for an entry level card. Do you guys agree?
Good deal? The 50 class card should be $150.
100% agree, and even though nvidia recently released nis feature isn't as great as dlss but for a guy like me with a gtx 1050 ti, it is a major relief in recent game titles that don't support fidelityfx. I hope this year we would see sharp price declining for gpus.
@@VoldoronGaming I remember when a brand new Chevy Camaro was $6,000... go to a dealership and argue they should be that cheap again... simply put, times have changed and some things never come back... I think the days of the $150 budget entry card are gone and not coming back... it's reality. Heck getting a "budget" card for $250 is a chore enough as-is. You either accept the new norm, or you live without the product. Scalpers is another issue alltogether (screw those guys)... but I think the GPU manufacturers have realized they can get away with $250 "budget" cards and people will buy them for that price.
Just goes to show Nvidia and AMD aren't your friends, they all answer to the board. They just show it in different ways.
Paper launch only ebay has them in U. K. for double msrp.
This would be a $149 GPU in a normal market
This current GPU situation makes me happy about buying GTX 1080 5 years ago as it's the most energy efficient 80 card nvidia ever made and it still get me trough modern games just fine.
And still faster than a new shiny 3050
LOL...people were so happy they had a reason to crap on AMD until Nvidia showed them they can give you a reason to talk about them also...LOL..ohhhh the children!
me too love my gtx 1080
@@chrisbullock6477 They still crap on AMD. Gamers Nexus never says anything bad about Nvidia sucky prdocuts like the 1030 or this but freak out over any AMD misdeed. It makes people think Nvidia is better
@@timothygibney159 The 6500 deserved to be crapped on, because it only uses 4 PCI-e lanes. WTF is that shit? And I haven't heard any shining praise for the 3050 either.
Got a 3060ti at Microcenter for 440 usd (was a gigabyte oc card) in Dec 2020 and I can't believe how lucky I was. It has not come down at all, in fact, I could sell my used card for much more than I bought it for. Crazy how the prices have just skyrocketed.
My dude, you DON'T need to ask for likes and subs, you have them won right off the bat. Your content is amazing, man, keep up the good work and take care of yourself, man, we want to see you with us for a long-ass time.
Thank you man
😮It's extraordinary how the MSRP remains mythical. Brave of you to give this review a try. Value your opinion. Have been for years. Good luck with the move!
Hello from Slovakia ., Been your fun over 10 years . Still fighting hard from hard man. Best regards .
GA106 is 3060 silicon. Because of this, there will be so few of these available in the wild that finding a 6500XT will be a walk in the park in comparison. 3050 IS about 20% faster than the 6500XT, but you gotta find it.
More than 20% with PCIE 3.0
The 3060 is actually decent. The 3050 is a new revised 1660 Super... Literally 5-10% better than the 1660S/Ti. Oh and it has DLSS, big wow. Wont come into play at 4K at all(Where DLSS shines.) There 0 reason to buy the 3050 when the RX 6600 exists. Im an Nvidia fan as well.
@@PDXCustomPCS It depends on the game. You can play DOOM Eternal at 130 FPS on 1440p ultra according to Hardware Unboxed, which means 4K upscaled is possible. Probably also possible for Forza Horizon 5 and some other games that are not too demanding.
@@PDXCustomPCS What do you mean "decent framerate" and "shortcoming"? I am talking about DLSS upscaled to 4K, not 1440p. You ignored the part of my comment where I said " for some games".
@@gurjindersingh3843 4K DLSS at quality is 1440p! Shortcoming is you not knowing that. Go run Cyberpunk at any setting above medium on a 3060 in 2160p, then try playing with DLSS. Performance will look like crap. So you have quality. The 3060 can't handle 4K even with DLSS on newer titles at all. It'll "Get there," but its not worth it for the lack of performance. 1440p is fine on a 3060, DLSS on quality or better if you need more frames.
I knew this would happen the moment it was announced and CZcamsrs claimed the price. It would go for almost 1000. People will not stop doing this until there are consequences of some sort. It’s easy money for them.
I'm beginning to think I'm going to be stuck with my 1060 for the next 10 years.
My 970 is already 7 years old. I am scared it will give up the ghost anyday now.
Me too, but with my RX 470. Hope it lasts a few more years, til this nightmare is over. Still rocking high settings at 1080P along with my 9400F.
IM BEGINNING TO THINK I JUST WONT HAVE A GAMING DESKTOP
Nice content, dude!
So a card that was apparently designed to deter miners from buying it still got people re-selling it for over double...
It's not miners, they're just a big part of the people who buy from scalpers. It's simply scalping companies that are buying every bit of stock so you can either buy from them or nobody.
@@camtwan1 and the correct attitude of the consumers is to say the scalpers to shove them in their backs and watch those scalpers burn. But people don't have the will to do that
Awesome video elric.
Good to see you again brother
Thanks man
Prices are awful, however the reviews are always helpful because when these things do become available - even at current high msrp - have the information to know what's crap and what's worth at least looking at.
Also, commenting to appease the algorithm gods
Cheers
Got a new rx 6500 xt for my new pcie 4.0 low power build it’s the only card that makes sense atm, I can see it getting scalped in a few months once the drivers mature just like the rx 5500xt was
Ive seen last week 6500 xt for 215€ and rtx 3050 for 425€ (the cheapest one) and I really just wanted a 200 gpu for the longest time to couple with my i5 11400 so I went with the 6500 xt.
great video!
in italy is also worst, they made 1 to 1 dollar to euro conversion and added more than 22% up to the price. yesterday i saw a shop selling it for 650 euro that is a lot more expensive than 600 dollars
Paper launch? Where is the 3050 in newegg?
So is your gripe with NVIDIA for releasing a card that is full featured which everyone wants to buy or with scalpers who bought them all and relisted on eBay or people who are purchasing them from the scalpers which enables them to stay in business?
Nice Video!!
the reason why the cards bounce back and fort is because Vulkan API loves the AMD architecture and OpenGL loves the Nvidia architecture.
as for DX11 well that's pretty much up to Windows team and how the game is developed.
it's more that the Vulkan API takes better advantage of raw compute ability and AMD pretty much abandoned OpenGL over a decade ago, Linux users have a better experience with AMD and openGL as they can update and optimize it on windows it's closed source so only AMD can fix it and they don't seem to care.
@@bdhale34 Vulkan API is optimized for mem cache not raw computing that why the Vulkan API runs so well with the AMD architecture.
OpenGL is raw computing and favors brute force computing that is why OpenGL favors Nvidia architecture.
as for DX11 has noughting to do with OpenGL they are of there own processes and process data compression in a completely different manor.
DX11 or any older version tries to balance between mem bus and raw computing just because windows adopted OpenGL and integrated a package with DX does not mean that it is apart of it or the same process.
DX does use a somewhat simulare in term of raw computing but that's pretty much the only similarity to OpenGL.
It was MSRP for like a week here in Poland hah.
Damn it's about time youtube pushed me a video 📹 👍
Cheers
I bought an RX 580 8gb 2 years ago on newegg for $169 same with a R5 3600 $169.
You and Steve from GN are the only reviewers I've seen with these eVGA cards that called out the bios trickery that they are trying to say was accidental. I have serious doubts as to how accidental this was as nVidia has pulled tricks like this and way worse for their entire history.
I appreciate your honesty in this video, and I agree with everything you said. I don't blame you for being p*ssed off at the whole situation, the whole GPU market is just a clusterf--k right now.
And now the crypto-miners are going after gaming laptops! 🤬
You can throw it my way :D
My cousin started asking me for the card before I even got one man....
I can't help but think most reviewers still fell for the MSRP even if they factored in that it would cost a lot more as the reviews were generally favorable. You can get a superior 6600 for around same or less in real-world prices and that card got less favorable reviews on launch. Gamers Nexus called it "Insultingly Bad Value". Thanks for the honest recap.
I wonder how many of the reviews were using the eVGA cards that had the higher priced card's bios on it by "mistake" and then posted the higher numbers and failed to disclaim that the bios was not the correct one for the card, Steve at GN and ToT are the only one I've seen that called them out on the bios trickery.
After a lot of search, my friend was able to get Msi gaming X 3050 for $410 from a retail store. He was waiting for over a year and was using rx 570 4GB to he took the bullet thia time.
I was just thinking about how I bought a 980 ti when it was new for $600 and I thought that was a lot. Then I couldn’t believe the cost of a 1080 ti when bought it….$700! That was getting way too rich for my blood. Well, then I got a “good “ deal on a 3080 ti FTW when those came out for $950 (with big EVGA Discount that I had) and I’m starting to question why I’m buying these card’s anymore. Seriously. I bought this because I could afford it and sold my 3 year old 1080 ti for only $50 less than what I bought it for! If not for photo/video editing I’d really reconsider. It doesn’t help the quality of most games is vastly worse than twenty years ago. Kinda kills the motivation. I’m starting to question whether I should just move to consoles (gag)
i moved from console to pc, trust me you don't want to make that mistake !! you want stuttering and choppiness at 60fps ?? because i know i'm not going back to that crap lol. I have a xbox 1s it's about 7 years old. only thing i use it for now is blue rays. And when i pick up my external blue ray drive i'll no longer need that. so i wouldn't waist you're time !
@@xEZTECx Oh, you don't have to tell me. I've been PC gaming since the early 90s and I did have an Xbox One for a few years but got rid of it because I hardly used it and people on the Battlefield games were...like in the special Olympics of gaming as compared to PC players. So, I know. Keyboard/mouse support on 100% of games is the only thing holding me back.
In this day and age of "Scalping" that price is only a pipe dream.
In Poland GTX 1050 Ti cost sth about 249$...
How are you being told that you'll see one by Chinese new year, there no way to even reserve them anymore, and what web site did you even go to to get a notification when instock, am not finding any of these sites. I'd like to be able to reserve one as well, there's no more reserve on Nvidias site. And at this point, it seems as if no one will get one unless u buy a pallet of cards for mining. The hopes of finding a GPU these days are like listening to story's of unicorns.
i count my lucky stars dailey that i bought my 3090 just when they came out...yay
i still watch and keep up with graph card prices but it doesn't seem to budge. This could be a long wait. I dont know why they cant make a bare bones cards just for mining coins??!!
got very lucky and picked up 4 gainward rtx 3050 ghost's for $320 each and 3 zotac rtx 3050's for $285 each
Only a %200 markup on a laptop gpu? Not bad 🙄
That s today !
you know i have a 1st rev rtx 3060 12 gb gddr6, and it cost me 703$ Can. And honestly i'm happy with what i have. besides that i have 2 gtx 970's and a sapphire edition rx 590 8gb gddr5 variant. if i could get my hands on a rx 6800 xt with the same amount of ram on it as my rtx 3060 i'd be happy as a pig in shit. but even i paid to much for my 3060, however at least i got one lol. but i do understand what you're saying about stuff being to expensive. i mean i just bought a corsair k70 se mk2 and that was 250$ . i guess it's safe to say, you want nice shit. You gotta pay for it. like it or not. And until all the consumers REFUSE to buy NVidia cards, they will rip people off. i also find it funny that the rtx cards are not even 2 ghtz. 1.9 if i'm not mistaken. kinda odd for an rx 590 to be clocked at 2.10 ghz. amd software looks better anyway. ask yourself why nvidia needs to have hdr enabled to get 10 bit display, when on the amd software you just flip a switch n restart. but i don't want to keep pointing things out that i'm sure you're all aware of !! BEST ADVISE, DON'T BUY ANYTHING NEW AND SIT ON WHAT YOU HAVE CURRENTLY !! sry for caps
At this point If the card is selling for $600+ your better off getting a RX 6600 as it is closer to the 3060. Well If you can find it under the price of the 3060 and the 3050 or waiting to see what Intel could do
For me I can spot some rx 6600s in stock for under $500 while the RTX 3050 Is $550+ online and the only way you pay less is through shuffle or queue
Some models are already around 500 bucks here in the PH. Just freaking disgusting.
Back in my day budget cards were $150
i have 3 currently 1050ti and Im pretty sure I paid 149.99 for them. They play 1080p just fine in Most games... We also have 2 1050s that dont require a pin. and I know I paid 99.99 for them.
Sucks for review channels as it's hard for them to review something and end up not able to recommend anything. So what should a new pc gamer get instead? Some have been waiting over a year now. I say cut corners in the build in other ways, new lowest end 12th i5 is good enough or even i3, a basic case, basic heatsink, bronze psu and a 6600XT card, 1080p 144Hz screen. I don't think another 3 months will change anything. In 6 months we might have Intel but Intel cards are totally unproven.
Hard to review something when they ship you a product that isn't technically the retail product because they sent it with a bios that clocks it higher than it's supposed to be. Huge props to ToT and GN for pointing it out and calling it out.
Lol a 130 TGP card does not need a 550W power supply at all. Im using the gigabyte OC x3 gfan rtx 3050 with 5 year old 500W PSU.
Seeing scalping directly from retailers.
Remember when the 750ti was 150$? Those were the days
They are still about that price
If I can get it at 300, still beats my 970
It would be a real shame if the names and addresses of miners got posted somewhere....
It is knows for them to communicate with each other. One time red wins, the other time the green one. It has been like that for more than a decade. It's a win win situation for them, and a big F. U. for everybody else
For that kind of price, just get a good gravel cycle and take up excercise as a go to hobby(if you haven't already).
Even the used market is fucked up.
Just put up my 1070ti on a site, just to see what sort of outrageous price I could demand and I got 2 buyers for 480 and 500$'s.....!!!
I'll stick with my 1070, thanks.
how many of the resellers of cards are really with nvidia or amd I can't believe that the manufacturers are letting someone else make all that money over MSRP
Wasn't even a week 😢
Street price is $450, RX 6500 XT street price is $270.
At this point I think the only hope for PC gaming are laptops.
Not for much longer! Like locusts and roaches, crypto-miners are now moving into and infesting the gaming laptop market! Anything with a high-performance GPU is fair game now. Soon enough, console games (PS5, XBOX and the Switch) and Apple Silicon (M series) won't be safe. 😰
I'm happy I have my GTX 1080 TI going keep it till this BS is back to normal
Hey brother, I hope you're strong insha'Allah your CZcams channel will pick up again, I'll keep liking everyone. Hope you and family are well
Thanks Anthony God Bless you and your family man..
ill be running my founders 1070 for the next 5 years.... Im NEVER going to pay 2000 for a card that in 2 years is worth 400
I don't think this absurdity of ongoing 2x msrp gpus' prices is gonna continue much longer. I think at some point many governments are gonna take serious measures to achieve a short-term and a long-term solutions.
stop relying on the government to fix everything.
This is permanent. Every thing will be boted. It will never stop as long as people keep buying from these assholes.
@@camtwan1 Governments are exist for a purpose which is to mange the lives of ours and to solve complicated problems. Who you're gonna rely on to reduce inflation or to come up with a better health insurance?!. I'm sorry but this tip only comes from someone who lives in a country governed by dictatorship!.
@@jeff666p People are gonna get tired or at least won't have that much money to pay these repugnant prices and then the situation is gonna change for sure. Besides, the future of cryptocurrency is married to uncertainty and what you get from this sort of marriage is a volatile value which can either hit thousands of dollars or the complete opposite!. If you want to pay double the price then it's good for you .but me will wait even if takes 2 or 4 years!. You have no idea how stubborn I'm!.
@@jeff666p Why you are saying "permanent"?!. Do you have psychic powers and the ability to see what is gonna exactly happen in the future?!.
all I have heard is that card worth less than 300 and you shouldn't pay more for it, but it's already out of stock everywhere, crazy world we are living in
Got to be a sucker paying 600
$600 ? No, no, no! Hell no!
Already sold out.
Its the dam scalpers and ethurium junkies
48000 tk in Bangladesh
God I'm so sick of all the scalping and greediness I'm sick of it I think we all are at this point I'm putting my foot down I am not spending money and giving in this is ridiculous I guess I'll keep my old 970 forever
I rather get 1080 ti over 3050
Might as well buy a Xbox Series S at this stage. 300 dollars and you get everything for 1080p (and some 1440P) gaming. The GPU PC market is DEAD!
That’s why i biught series S. Also i own old alienware 15 r3 with gtx 1060. For me it works perfectly))
You're better off getting a used GTX 1080 or 1070 Ti for way cheaper off ebay or facebook marketplace wtf
Rx 6600 will massacre this evga 3050 at $459 in newegg
I have no idea what you're saying the 6500XT and 3050 trade blows... they don't... the 3050 is faster in pretty much every game and category by a decent amount, and this is backed up by countless benchmarks from many reputable sites, including Gamer's Nexus and Hardware Unboxed... The 3050 is faster than the 6500XT any day of the week and slower than the 6600... as usual, price will determine what's the better buy... if all three are the same price, the 6600 is the better buy... but if they 3050 is cheaper than the 6600 it's a good buy (relatively speaking and screw those scalpers). But there's no case where you can say the 6500XT and 3050 "trade blows"... they simply don't.
Also, the 3050 is a good chunk faster than the 1650... simply put, in multiple benchmarks from multiple sites, the 3050 has roughly the same rasterization as the 1070/1660 Super/1660Ti... right in that ballpark... which, once again, puts it FASTER than a 6500XT and SLOWER than a 6600.
The 3050 also has dlss which is essential on the low end
You can go through and tweak settings and 6500XT will be faster at the same settings than the 3050. Just not at ultra settings due to VRAM limits.
May as well buy a 6600 XT for the price a 3050 goes for. It's faster still and available.
@@Mopantsu But other reviewers said it sucked but praised the 3050 so most folks think the 3050 is faster. This is how Nvidia won
@@karathkasun They're just not in the same class at all, and "tweaking" a 6500XT is A) not stock (always love the guy that compares an overclocked GPU to one they choose not to overclock) and B) "tweaking" the 6500XT isn't going to cover the huge gap between these two cards, I don't know where you're getting your numbers from but there is a SIGNIFICANT performance difference between the 6500XT and 3050, it's not a minor difference.
Having said that, if you can find the 6500XT for $200 and the only 3050 you can find is $500, I suppose that might be the only time to consider a 6500XT... but the 6500XT is a really bad investment, even if you can find it for $200... the card is hobbled on PCIe 3.0, and only 4GB of memory, that's pretty obsolescent for 2022.
I mean they literraly took a Mobile GPU and slapped it on an add-in card... cheap is cheap and that's what you get if you buy a 6500XT... CHEAP... if you want to go AMD, the 6600 is faster than a 3050, if you can find it same price or not much more than a 3050, the 6600 isn't bad at all.
Even 250 seems too much more like 200
wow 6 bills for a hundred dollar card. There are suckers born every minute.
GPU prices must make for some easy videos lol. I mean what gamer doesn't know that cards go for double on ebay, takes 1 minute to check and see. This has been going on for 3 years, you're an idiot if you thought the 3050 was going to be magically "unscalped." Reviewers are literally posting the exact same video on every gpu launch lol
if you lied about the price alot of things would be half their actual cost MSRP is just that a manufacturer's lies about the price
I saw about 8 or 10 RTX 2060s (12GB) cards at my local MicroCenter selling for $469. It's a much better card than the 3050.
Not at that price it isnt. You can get decent gpus for 470 usd if you hunt properly that easily hand an L to the 2060 12gb.
GTX 1080/ TI Gang!
this is a joke, not only the price but the accessibility,
I'm disable and i try to get a NVidia 30 series card since January 2020 as o start to build my pc in dec 2019 still cannot get one up to this date.
And i refuse to pay a scalping price! they only sold at store and i check for years now, bestbuy in my case don't even list the availability can't even tell when they are going to be in store.
i can just walk just by to check if they have one left.
Anyway short story i decide to stop playing stick on my old geforce720, just sad i cannot do some editing video capture as i would like too.
used market card are also insane 400$ for a rx580
also i don't know if they realize but ppl plays way less these day. game kinda got bad repetitive, have less content and they all after you're money with micro transaction, all online game as a shit ton of cheater, this is going to turn again them.. bcuz a lot of cheaper card run those game over 60fps a medium , and a lot of ppl will just do that,
Refurbish old dye that din't past for a 2060 for 600 $, no thx u, i just hope ppl know this. china gigabytes new eggs stay away from them they trying to fuck us over again..
you got my subs for telling the truth....decent card for 249$ but can even order one.
God just make it stop.
Good luck finding it $250 it’s going like $600 on offer up
You can get a 6600xt for less and it will soundly trounce the 3050 so IMO its a stupid buy.
there needs to be a ban for scalping :/
Even at 250$ its not worth it, i would probably buy one at about 149$, if i would need a cheap crappy GPU for 1080p, but for 1080p an APU would be enough. Not such a big fail like the 6500XT, but still a fail at 249$, at 600$, who buy at this price has not understand anything. If Team Blue take a version with igpu, team Red take an APU, and wait 6 month 1 year or 2 years, or try to get a console.
Honest Reviews are hard to come by.... These days.
I would just say FUCK ALL THESE PC MANUFACTURING COMPANIES.
At $600, why is anyone buying this card? You could buy a 6600XT for the same $600 and have 40% better performance. Or buy a 2060 at $500 and have 20% better performance. Seriously, why are all of the Nvidia gamers so excited about the 3050?!?
the situation with the graphic cards market is a joke. What a scam. Entry level card for 600$? Jeeeeezzzzz
well you r wrong, 3050 is a direct replacement for the GTX 1660 no the 1650, because the msrp is 250$, this is the same performance at the same price price 3 years later, which is fucked up even if that card is seeling at 250$, but it's selling for double that, fuck nvidia, and fuck pc gaming at this point
So many of us are just keeping our hard earned money in our pockets. There must be a lot of pent up demand out there. Crypto sure has a lot of shitty things to answer for. Simply not sure Crypto is a good thing from a societal or environmental point of view. Good for crims and that's about it.
Don't worry man BItcoin mining is being banned around the world. Slowly but, surely it is happening.
@@KeikoFXDesigns can't come soon enough.
