There are some downsides to an amd rdna2 card even in this price tier, namely a lack of dlss and cuda. The 12gb of vram is mostly pointless on the 3060, since it lacks the performance to adequately play games that would use anywhere near that much. Likewise, the raytracing advantage is moot in this performance tier.
Ultimately, even at $245, unless you have non-gaming workloads that the 3060 would be beneficial for, at this price tier you would be better off getting an amd card.
BTW, are we still saying "hOlD tHe LiNe BoYz" or is that over?

Of course a 3060 priced at $250 is a good deal.
It has nothing to do with your personal opinion of how much it should cost. That's what the market is dictating, so that's why they're still $300 on average. This is the capitalism you voted for, so live with it.
As for comparisons to other cards, yes, we know there are Radeons with similar performance for less. You don't have to repeat this on every thread. Some of us need CUDA or want to run stable diffusion without pulling our hair out.
Speaking of stable diffusion, that's one reason you'd want the 12GB card over the 8GB. Not everything is about gaming performance.
AMD ROCm, and Apple MPS, CUDA has the least amount of problems.My only concern is the 12GB VRAM. It doesn't seem enough considering the exponentially more complex model that came out these past 2 years. Not sure if I should buy something with 16GB. The closest competitor being Arc 770 16GB. But there's an issue with Arrays larger than 4 GB crashes.

but if we're there, just go all the way and grab a 3080.
You can price-climb all you want. If they had a 2060 and it died, a 3060 would be a decent bump and a good replacement
The sweet spot for the 3000series card is the 3060ti and 3080.
