How's this compared to the 3050 for $250?

$140 extra for the 3060 worth it?

Probably not. 3060-3050=10.

That's an awful piece is logic, the 3060 is a huge upgrade from a 3050, I have not heard much good about the 3050.

Ooh might need to get this. Was looking to get a 3060ti for around $500 if I can find. Is a 3060ti a big jump in performance?I do light gaming nothing crazy and upgrade my parts every 4-5 years

MSRP is $329 so it's not too inflated but I'm personally holding out until end of year when the 4000 series fleet released

Yes, hold out for the TI . Don't let the ram fool you on the 3060. It is a 192bit bus and a smaller GPU. Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 vs RTX 3060 Ti | PC Gamer [pcgamer.com]

The two cards offer vastly different performance as a result, too. In our testing, at 1440p, we're seeing the RTX 3060 Ti delivering 35 percent higher frame rates on average. That's not a bad return for a card with a 21 percent higher price tag.

There are 2 versions of the 3060. The $329 version does not come with the backplate. Same thing with 3050 cards. The $250 version of the 3050 does not have the backplate. The backplate versions are boosted a little, but not worth the premium. This card is the version with the backplate.

Another thing I noticed is the 3050 cards are PCIe x8 vs. PCIe x16 for the 3060 & beyond.

3060 ti MSRP is $400. Wait for msrp prices.
AMD RX6600 and 6600XT are at or near MSRP already and the 6600XT performs only slightly worse than the 3060 Ti.

One of a few solid true 2-slot cards. Tons of cards advertised as 2-slot are actually more than that once you account for the shroud height.

How exactly does a purchase get made?
There's no link for making a buy - just one about free shipping etc etc

EDIT

OK so make a buy on listed retailers even though they say "Backordered" like Newegg?

Amazon and Micro Center are linked but they have higher prices
