Do you know what shorting means?
you borrow a graphics card and you sell it
Lol
@abctoz: I will 100% take a short position on graphics cards from anyone who will accept repayment in those same graphics cards once 4000 series comes out.
Yeah, I am betting the price falls.
If it does, I profit.
That's not what shorting means.
@pkol: It wasn’t a perfect analogy.
Short selling is an investment or trading strategy that speculates on the decline in a stock or other security's price
If you wanted to actually implement it, lend me 10 RTX 3060ti, I will sell them and I will replace them in 6 months.
What am I getting wrong?
I've never even heard of this brand.
They're a huge brand, just less so in aus.
It must be big in Asia. I've never heard of it in Australia.
I have many times and I'm in Aus.. Depends how long you've been interested in graphics cards I guess.
But yeah huge overseas.
they are pretty established all the way back then and still is one of the top well known AIB brand from China selling mostly in asian markets in the past
i still remember my Colorful geforce 6200 AGP w/ 512mb ddr2
@dcep: Well obviously it had taken them some time to get a foothold into the Australian market or they just weren't interested in it until relatively recently.
Staticice only shows a few stores in Australia selling Colorful RTX cards and they are not the bigger PC stores. It's not well known here.
Ride it, my PNY
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

Brand is good for those on the fence. Good deal for this card but is this the lowest for now? Noone knows.
20-40 more and you could get a 2060
next price drop will be below $400!
Hopefully crash to $200
I mean at least it's below Australian RRP, right?
It's a wee bit faster than a 1660 Super. Price still too high tbh.
Shouldn't this be $149 AU? Why still 3 x the price?
RRP is about 366 AUD factoring in GST and conversion - not including strayatax
This tier should be $149. It has been like that forever or at least pre Crypto craze 2013.
There are a lot more skews now. Tis and Supers. There was a 1050, but no 2050. There is no 16 series equivalent for the 30 series.
It's RTX and 8GB. It's close to a 1070. I don't think it's quite the same thing as a 1050 2GB. The 1050 was nowhere near as good as the 770 for example, despite being two generations apart, like the 3050 and 1070 are. The 3050 also requires one 8-pin, and will not be available in low profile.
So regardless of the name, it's priced reasonably, at least it would be if it ever hit RRP. Of course some successors to the 16 series, and something priced below this would be nice. Wait for Intel or next gen I guess?
How's this compare to the RX 6600? Thinking to sell the one I just got in the recent deal for $469..
6600 is maybe <10% faster but you give up usable and better DLLS, RTX & NVEC codecs. Id go the 3050 over the 6600
Another thing is LOTS of 6600 get flipped for nVidia's and whys that? The 6600 are crash prone! Damned if I could fix it so I sent mine back. Not so any nVidia Ive used…. AMD has serious stability driver and hardware problems still as of this post.
ONLY upside is mining… you can mine on the 6600
Wonder what sort of frames this could do in a media PC outputting 4k at HDMI 2.1
My 4k set only does 60Hz but I have the Zotac version of this card and it's fine for 4k60 video.
Edit: Just realised you may have meant for transcoding? Couldn't tell you that, sorry. I stream from a NAS or on local storage so no transcoding required.
Nah I have a 77C1 that can do up to120fps at 4k and wondered what this could do for games at that res probably pushing it for a budget card anyway
Is it considered a new low when the AIB is inferior? It's price seems relative to better AIB's rather than a price drop.
Why 3050 needs 3 fans? Unnecessary while limiting the case it can go in.
true. prob a mb design thats been recycled
It's the same design they have for the 3060 and 3060 Ti cards. Due to the low quantity of 3050s they probably figured it wasn't worth making an entirely new cooler.
$416 now, price needs correcting
Gave in and bought one… Ill post how I like it or not, and the experience when it arrives ~ but FREE SHIPPING so thats a bonus!
Thanks but I’m shorting graphics cards, the lower and lower deals are coming quick a fast.
Plus I can only fit a twin fan.
