Where to buy RTX 3050 - the latest stock updates and availability

gamesradar.com:

RTX 3050 launched yesterday exclusively through Nvidia's partners and RTX 3050 stock was incredibly limited, to say the least. While we were anticipating most major retailers to have the new budget Ampere video card available, it was surprising to see just how few units were up for sale on launch day. At the time of writing, there is only one US retailer worth turning your attention to today. 

In a handful of hours, the next RTX 3050 Newegg Shuffle will be going live for another chance to get your hands on Zotac, Gigabyte, and Asus cards. It's worth pointing out that RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti stock, as well as RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti stock, will be in the raffle, too. It's a far from an ideal situation, but looking like your best bet at finding RTX 3050 stock at MSRP today.

The best way of getting RTX 3050 stock today is through the upcoming Newegg Shuffle. All you have to do is reserve which RTX 3050 models you're interested in, and if your ticket is chosen, you'll be invited to purchase the new Ampere GPU via email with a two-hour buying window. Now, you're not guaranteed to be chosen, and even then that time slot does not necessarily guarantee the retailer will have the graphics cards of choice.  

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. 

If you're after one of the best graphics cards for gaming on a strict budget, then the RTX 3050 should fill that role well. If you're after this hardware in a portable
