RTX 3050 is due to launch tomorrow - here's where to expect stock

gamesradar.com:

With the RTX 3050 launch imminent (it's happening tomorrow, January 27), much speculation has been placed on what the availability of RTX 3050 stock will be in the wake of the rest of the series. Nvidia's previous entry-level Ampere video card, the RTX 3060, launched just shy of a year ago exclusively through the company's partners. It experienced a very brief window of availability, so we're willing to bet the same will be true with the new budget video card as well.

US RTX 3050 stock expected at:  Best Buy | Amazon | Newegg | B&H Photo | Adorama | Walmart

UK RTX 3050 stock expected at: Ebuyer | Amazon | Overclockers UK | Currys | CCL | Box

It's been rumored online that RTX 3050 stock is due to launch at 6am ET / 9am PT tomorrow. This would be consistent with several other GPU launches we have witnessed. Generally, our advice is to be online as early as you possibly can in order to have the best chance at getting yourself an RTX 3050 at MSRP before it's too late.

While it was previously only available in portable form through RTX 3050 laptops, the new line of discrete video cards will feature 8GB GDDR6 memory and benefit from the latest A.I. technologies. We'll be bringing you all the latest RTX 3050 news on stock and availability as soon as we're able to.

The RTX 3050 carries a starting MSRP of $249 / £239, however, as there will be no Founders Edition version, the actual retail rates will largely be dictated by Nvidia's partners. While we're expecting some partner cards to sell at this rate, we also wouldn't be surprised to see higher-end option options coming in at close to double on launch day, too. If you're after one of the best graphics cards for gaming on a strict budget, then the RTX 3050 should fill that role
