Found an upcoming GPU deal which might possibly be the cheapest this model has been for awhile. 1% surcharge for select payment methods.
It's an Epic Hour deal, so limited stock (20 available) between 10pm-11pm on Sunday 15th.

Yeah all the companies “totally real retail price” are absolutely scuffed, a memory from back when they were
Local retailers probably had to pay close to the MSRP for their stock. It's Nvidia and AMD that are reporting record profits and selling crate loads of gpus to miners.
It might have actually sold at that price at one stage unlike a lot of other products’ inflated “RRP” on Shopping Express
what was the lowest price for this card before every got so expensive?
HODＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬＬ
meme aside, people gonna hold regardless if they want to or not, as those 20 units will be flash brought in 1 second.
Where will they be brought?
Price is $659 and not $569
Deals not active yet
Starts tomorrow at 10pm :)
What's warranty like with Shopping Express?
If you have issues, its a nightmare, their support is literally via emails ONLY.
And last time I had an issue they just ignored all emails too.
Depends on the nature of your return. If it's something clear cut (like a PSU failure) the turnaround will be fairly quick. They took a few hours to send me a return label for my broken power supply and a couple days after that to issue a refund. I've never bought a GPU from them so I can't speak on that front, but most GPU returns will take weeks to months.
no issues with warranty .. 30k+ of purchases over 10 years
I had purchased ram through them a few years ago. RAM was Faulty, they were easy to deal with
20 available, R.I.P.
as far as I remember, there was a deal once at SE that was like this one, XX units at ZZpm, but the stock was gone in under 1 second since going live
20 fairly well priced GPUs…these will also be sold instantly lol
It's priced like absolute shit but it's the first ok model I've seen. Retailers have only been selling their e-waste at this price (colorful/dual/asrock/ventus/eagle).
@Jimmy77: Obviously you don't own Colorful. They're my best 3060s by a far margin. Can easily handle +1500 on memory and their heataink/fan is nothing but fantastic. No other brand comes close.
Assuming 2nd hand cards are going to start flooding ebay now that crypto is tanking along with the stock market and retail prices will hopefully drop further too.
Isn't it just gonna go back up again? Seems to always happen
Which is better in terms of build quality and noise, MSI gaming X or EVGA XC?
Well the XC is pretty quiet, and it’s less chunky than the msi, don’t know about direct comparison simply know the XC is good
The EVGA is slightly better in terms of performing and quality and the manufacturer has the best warranty support in the industry.
EVGA XC is better. Only requires one 8pin, lower temp, quiter, slimmer. Also, SE is tricky to deal with.
Hi, was researching the 3060 line recently due to wanting one myself, found this breakdown of most of the models, depending on the quality and price u want, u should check it out.

The doc above is the same link in the reviewers utube video:

I might hold off for the aorus elite even though i dont like gigabyte.
Thank you very much, some good info there.
I think I will wait a bit for a triple fan to come up at around $550 or if a good 2 fan pops up for under $500 I will bite.
Do you really need 12gb for a 3060?
Not like there is an option, ie other 3060 skus with different configs
It'll be good for any machine learning tasks at least.
Seems expensive for a dual fan model.
I have a 2060S and am relatively happy with it (2042 and dota 2 mostly). Do you think it's worth me selling it now and getting one of these as the prices start dropping?
You already have a 2060s not a 750ti. Unless you're one of those people who upgrade every 2 days the answer is no.
I don't think the performance difference would be worth it if you already own a 2060 Super. It might be worth waiting until the prices drop even lower so you can get something like a 3070 or 3080
Thanks - just needed a sense check
comes back to the games you actually play or want to play …
if it still runs goods then what's the point of upgrading..
I was on the fence on buying a new rtx 3k card
Might wait for the rtx4 to come out. It'll mean cheaper rtx3 and potentially cheaper rtx4 as well with the crypto fall and recessionexcept you might not have any spare cash if recession occurs + inflation is occurring right now
Not a deal at all, from Shopping Express.
Well if you find it cheaper, let me know.
Was less than $550 delivered without surcharge. At that time ETH was still >3000usd, now it's <2000usd. Wait for the US taper and further rate increases. Personally I have this card in my rig, it performs worse than Gainward Ghost 3060 12g v2 (with higher temp lower MH/s). Also, this card takes more space, requires 8+6pins but not necessary for 120 W. For gaming, 3060 v2 is not recommended in general.
Does this require 8+6pins for power? Why?
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 EAGLE only needs 8pin
Thanks
How does cod run on this card
What’s a cod?
Cod is popular as a food with a mild flavour and a dense, flaky, white flesh. Cod livers are processed to make cod liver oil, a common source of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA).
I usually take that instead of fish oil, much better for your wallet.
smashed 2 birds with one stone."this started like any other day on Rust
I connected straight after duct taping two cod to either sides of my 3060
dinner ready by the time I finish raiding the scientists on the other side of the island"
"RRP $1199.00". What.
