The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 is hovering around its MSRP for the first time in more than a year at multiple retailers, thanks to rapidly falling graphics card prices.
You can buy the EVGA XC Gaming variant for yourself right now in the US for $389.99 — just $50 more than the card’s original MSRP. Those in the UK can also get the Inno Twin LHR variant for £379.99, just £79 more than the official recommended price.
While both lists are still above MSRP, they collectively represent the best chance of getting a decent 1080p card without breaking the bank in the past two years. Suffice to say, we could even build ourselves a decent budget gaming PC here – depending on your specs, it can easily do most games at 1080p for around $800-$900.
Of course, if you already have a decent setup and want to upgrade from an RTX 2060 or a graphics card of equivalent power, these lists aren’t all that enticing. Many gamers are insisting on upgrading right now, and it’s not an unwise policy. Later this year, we should see the release of the next-generation RTX 4000-series graphics cards from Nvidia and Intel’s highly anticipated Arc series. Details are sparse (like a release date) at the moment, but we’ll have an update on TechRadar as soon as more news comes out.

While we think these RTX 3060 lists are arguably the best graphics card deals available this week, they’re not the only ones available. Just this past day, Nvidia mysteriously announced a new Restocked and Reloaded page on its website. At the time of writing, all restocks surrounding the MSRP are currently in the UK, but the tweet mentions more stock coming soon, which gives us hope for a US launch.
