The recently announced budget gamer's champ, the Nvidia RTX 3060 has reportedly been pictured in the wild even ahead of its expected rumored release coming later this month. Nvidia initially showed off the GeForce RTX 3060 specs at the CES 2021.
Nvidia GeFroce RTX 3060 release date
The RTX 3060 was touted during the CES 2021 as a particular mid-range GPU that is designed to bring raytraced gaming towards every PC gamer. Nvidia also confirmed the best news regarding the RTX 3060 GPUs saying that they will go on sale for just $329 which is a huge difference compared to the RTX 3090 price.
According to the story by TechRadar, the price reportedly makes the GeForce RTX 3060 the cheapest among the whole RTX 3000-series. However, Nvidia did not really reveal when the particular GPUs will hit the shelves. While the initial rumor was pointing out towards an upcoming February 25 RTX 3060 release date, some particularly eagle-eyed Redditors have already been able to spot the said GPU out in the wild.
Where to buy RTX 3060 online
It was noted that the particular Reddit user known as He_never_sleeps has reportedly been able to stumble upon two different Gigabyte RTX 3060 GPUs on the shelves of a certain unnamed country in Europe. The Redditor was even reportedly able to pick up one of the two said GPUs.
However, since the RTX 3060 has still not yet been officially released as of the moment, he also notes that he can't really get the card to function within Windows due to the existing lack of available drivers. This was not the only "discovery" of the said GPUs as another Redditor also shares a similar story.

RTX 3060 price could soar?
Another Reddit user also claims that one of the shops in the user's unnamed country actually had seven different units of the said PALIT RTX 3060 12GB GPUs in stock. They were reportedly sold for a whopping $750 USD which is said to be twice the price of the MSRP.
According to an article by Wccftech, that particular country is actually Pakistan. The known official Nvidia distributor Zah Computers reportedly has the said card up for sale as of the moment, but how long still remains to be unseen. Although the said Nvidia RTX 3060 has reportedly started hitting the store shelves somewhat ahead of the supposed rumors release which is in two weeks, it still remains to be seen as to whether the GPU's official launch will be maybe just as messy as in comparison to its predecessors.
The supply issues have reportedly been quite a consistent issue along with the latest generation of the popular GPUs coming from Nvidia with both the RTX 3080 as well as the RTX 3060 Ti actually being particularly hit badly. According to a European retailer known as Alternate, the prices of the GPUs are expected to increase as the availability of the whole RTX 3000 series will reportedly deteriorate much further within Q1 of 2021.
