![]() This is still $110 above MSRP, but it does appear that pricing is creeping closer to where it should be each week, which bodes well for patient buyers. ![]() Similar story at Mindfactory where the cheapest RTX 3050 are also around $360 USD before tax. In Australia we're seeing a slightly better proposition, the cheapest RTX 3050 comes from Inno3D and it'll set you back $550, which is about $360 USD before tax. The cheapest card we could find at US retailers was $455 in a bundle that includes an AMD B450 motherboard. Pricing debuted around $600 on retail shelves, which is absolutely disgusting for a $250 MSRP product, and while prices have since fallen in the weeks after launch, the 3050 still sits nowhere near MSRP. Things aren't looking as good for the GeForce RTX 3050. Don't be tempted to pay inflated prices on this one as it looks like the MSRP is well within reach. But it does seem that available stock is approaching the MSRP which bodes well for the card and buyers. In our review of the 6500 XT we said we wouldn't consider buying it at anything above the MSRP and ideally this card should be priced closer to $150, or less. So it seems that the US market is lagging a little behind on pricing for this card right now. Mindfactory in Germany will also sell you an MSI model for as low as 235 euros, which is just 10% over the US MSRP before tax. In fact, at Australian retailer PC Case Gear, they will happily sell you a 6500 XT from PowerColor for just $320 AUD, which is $210 US before tax. This has happened with the last few AMD launches, with retailers telling us that resupplies for the card beyond the first batch were going to be above MSRP.Ĭurrently, if you want to buy an RX 6500 XT they are available on sites like Newegg for as little as $260, and even less in other regions. Now, in typical AMD fashion, we saw a few GPUs hit the market at $200 around launch, but that price has since disappeared in some regions. ![]() The Radeon 6500 XT has been in stock and available since day one, which is quite a novelty and a first in this generation. These are the first cards in this generation to launch with an "MSRP" below $300, which in this market translates to street pricing below $500. The AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT, a card that we very much did not like, and Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3050, a reasonable product that was always going to be overpriced. This past month we also saw two new GPU launches, so let's take a look at how they are shaking up first. Updated: See our latest GPU Pricing Update here. Things are starting to head in the right direction and although inflated pricing isn't far from over yet, this month we are seeing the lowest GPU prices in over a year. After many, many months we finally have some good news to share regarding graphics card pricing and availability.
