It is now the easiest time to get your hands on an RTX 3050, with stock at countless retailers and rates for the card declining. Prices are near to the MRSP at the moment, making it one of the best times to pick up the GPU. Now is an ideal time to get yourself a video card ready for ray-traced 1080p60 for less. 

The best RTX 3050 stock price we've been able to verify in the US is the EVGA GeForce RTX 3050 XC GAMING for $319.80 (was $360). This is one of the cheapest rates we've seen since the entry-level Ampere video card was released at the beginning of the year. In the UK, we're now seeing RTX 3050 stock available under the £299 mark, with the cheapest being the Palit GeForce RTX 3050 StormX for £278.99. 

If you're interested in more affordable GPUs, then we're also frequently updating our cheap graphics card deals with many options for the budget-builders out there looking to get the best value for money. 

RTX 3050 price

The RTX 3050 carries a starting MSRP of $249 / £239, however, as there is no Founders Edition version, the actual retail rates will largely be dictated by Nvidia's partners. Keep in mind that the RTX 3050 isn't exactly one of the best graphics cards from a technical level, but it will do admirably to fill the gap if you've struggled between GPU generations. 

In our Gigabyte RTX 3050 Eagle OC review, we found that the entry-level Ampere graphics card: "gets a lot right and accurately achieves its 1080p60 goal while pushing Nvidia's latest technologies in full force". The modest specs are more-than-enough for today's games, so long as you don't mind keeping DLSS engaged in one form or another. 

If you're after affordably priced portable hardware, too, then we recommend checking out the best RTX 3050 laptop deals as well.
