I was on the website refreshing the page the very moment when the item page/entry was added to the product search. It was already in 'Sold Out' status the moment it appeared, so I don't think they had any stock to sell. Also the nVidia official product page for the RTX 3050 doesn't link to here, but to another retailer. I think this page is just a placeholder.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.MSRP is only for the Nvidia branded GPUs. Nvidia also sells its designs to GPU manufacturers (Asus, Evga, Gigabyte, etc.) for mass production. Each of those manufacturers will add their own options to the design that will increase the price (increased DRAM, Cooling system, etc.).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Gigabyte set the $350 MSRP, not BestBuy. This is one of their factory overclocked models, but yes it’s still overpriced for what it is.
