The family's fifth desktop configuration Ampere Arrive in less than two weeks - with a higher than expected recommended price tag and familiar doubts about practical availability in stores
Company NVIDIA Continues its efforts to enrich its supply of modern video cards for consumers, at more popular prices than ever before - and we continue to wonder if this time we can all enjoy it easily and comfortably, or once again see a limited initial inventory snatched with landing and rapidly rising prices.
The GeForce RTX 3060, the first in the stationary market based on a scaled-down GA106 core that already made its way into laptops late last month, will be available for official purchase starting February 25 - with no reference design of NVIDIA Itself under the Founders Edition branding, but based on marketing partnership designs only.
