Official sales start only on February 25, but a rise in price is inevitable
Potentially Nvidia’s most affordable Ampere graphics card, the GeForce RTX 3060, should only go on sale on February 25, but Palit’s new product can already be ordered in Pakistan. True, the price can bring the average user to heart drops.
This is what the miners have brought. For GeForce RTX 3060, they ask $ 750 instead of the recommended 330
If the recommended cost of the GeForce RTX 3060 is $ 330, then in Pakistan, they ask for 120,000 local rupees for a novelty, which is approximately equivalent to $ 750! Moreover, the dealer’s website explains that this price is due to taxes and high import costs. And if taxes are an individual matter for each country, then the mention of a high import value makes you wary because it will be more or less the same for all importers. And this means that at the recommended (or at least close to it) price, it is unlikely to buy a GeForce RTX 3060. And the reason for this is primarily cryptocurrency miners, who are buying up whole lots of new video cards. Due to the current shortage, they even switched to laptops with Ampere GPU, but there is no doubt that as soon as the GeForce RTX 3060 goes on sale, it will also become a subject of increased demand miners. And those, unlike ordinary users, are ready to buy video cards at a very high price.
