The NVIDIA RTX 3050 graphics card is NVIDIA’s latest GPU, and it’s coming in the near future to present as a well-rounded and powerful entry level GPU for consumers. The RTX graphics cards from NVIDIA are highly sought after hardware for consumers building a gaming PC. And it’s understandable given they’re the latest offerings from NVIDIA right now. And because, well, they’ve been incredibly hard to get a hold of since launch. So many people are still looking for one. Even more than a year later. Heck, I personally had to wait 9 months on a waiting list before I was even able to buy a GPU from the 30 series. And even then, I wasn’t able to get my hands on anything other than the 3060. As the 3070,3080, and 3090 continued to be out of stock everywhere. We can’t say for a certainty that the RTX 3050 will present any more of a different experience for buyers. And in all likelihood, it’ll be just the same. But if you’re curious to know more about the new RTX 3050 from NVIDIA, you’ve come to the right place. This handy guide will attempt to break down everything you need to know about the upcoming GPU. Including price, release date, specs and more. NVIDIA released the RTX 3050 graphics card on January 27 through a number of its retail partners. This means that will be the first day you’ll be able to purchase the card. The trick is, finding out where to buy the GPU. We can help with that as well. In regards to where you can buy the cards, you should be able to find stock at places like Best Buy, Newegg, Amazon, Microcenter, and maybe even GameStop. There will surely be others too. In our experience trying to buy one yesterday morning, we could only find stock at Newegg. Which sells the cards through the Newegg Shuffle. This puts prospective buyers in a raffle so you can’t just snap up ever unit in stock. What might be a challenge for some is deciding which place they have the best chance at securing one. Stock was unsurprisingly highly contested and in demand from both those looking to make the purchase for themselves and resellers trying to gouge on pricing. The best tip we can give consumers looking to buy the RTX 3050 when more stock shows up is create accounts on the retail website where you think you might buy the card. Then have all of the payment and shipping information saved so you shouldn’t have to enter all of that information. Ultimately saving you time in getting to the checkout page. On top of that, be ready to hop in and click add to cart before the release time for each re-stock. The initial stock went live the morning of January 27 at 6AM PST. So expect future drops to be the same. Having said that, each retailer will do things a bit differently. So you may also want to branch out and follow the socials of any retailer you plan to buy from.
