3060 msrp 329.99 and thats what it should be you can get a 6650xt for this price and it will dominate the 3060 in basically everything but raytracing and raytracing on a 3060 sucks anyways.
Tempted very tempted, my GeForce now subscription expires soon and I couldn't play most of my games on GeForce now, I always thought msrp of the 3060 was around $379

True. Except 4K where the 3060 leverages out due to raw bandwidth.. but unless it's esports games, it won't matter as 3060 is generally a "weak" GPU.
6600XT/6650XT are the better 1080p/1440p options for sure.
Edit: When Nvidia set MSRP, component cost (VRM, PCB, Ports, VRAM, etc) was a bit cheaper. I think this will be the normal pricing unless supply exceeds demand (or RTX40 successor phases it out in a few months).
It's not like FE models where theres contracts between nvidia + bestbuy for a set price.. 3060 never had an FE model. Lowest market/AIB card will dictate cost.
Anyone who got a 3060 early for "MSRP", didn't even pay MSRP. Shipping cost was an additional $10-20 from EVGA/Newegg/Zotac.
ASUS/MSI/GIGA never sold "$329" models on release. Just left placeholders on Newegg and stocked OC models for $499. Was obvious as hell.

Why 12gb on a 3060?
Nvidia was kinda threatened by console hardware at the time being able to push 10-12GB @ full bandwidth.
In hindsight, 6 GB 3060s wouldn't have had a problem selling, but I feel like NVIDIA wanted leverage incase game devs went crazy on textures/VRAM. 60 series was always a "do everything" kinda GPU.
The 3050 that was released later on is also 128 bit... which means 4GB (1GB density) or 8GB (2GB density) are the only options in the VRAM department.. so yeah.
3070 had a planned 16GB SKU (2GB density like 3060), but it got scrapped.
Pretty sure same was true for higher tier cards like the 3080 which actually got upgraded to 384 bit + 12GB (from 320 bit +10GB). Also had a few more SM's enabled to match bit rate config.
Next gen 4060 and 4070 are projected to share 192 bit + 12GB configs.
Argggh, I need the single-fan version of this (MSI Aero ITX) for around this price!
Currently the MSI Aero ITX RTX 3060s are still overpriced and out of stock.

No one will be able to get the new GPUs. Did you miss the last two years? Any new ones will be just as impossible to get as everything else was up until 2 or 3 months ago. They're going to sell out immediately, and then the prices of these will go back up, because people won't want to keep waiting, and then they're all going to scramble to get these and then these will become hard to get, again. Things aren't back to normal yet. The fact that all of these GPUs have been more available has just been giving people a false sense of security. This is temporary.

Probably would have been just as disappointing with 6 GB.
