Where to buy RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti: stock updates from trusted retailers
There's a bit of a silver lining as far as finding RTX 3060 stock and RTX 3060 Ti stock for a reasonable rate goes, as the rates are slowly beginning to come down from what we've seen over the past few months. We'll preface by saying that the RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti prices are still above MSRP, but are cheaper than what they have been in the aftermarket so far. If you're after one of the best gaming PCs for 1440p ray tracing and DLSS, then either of these GPUs can certainly hold their own.

If you're torn between which GPU to get, then the simple answer is that the RTX 3060 Ti is a better overall performer over its newer sibling, it's one of the best graphics cards on the market. It comes down to more than just VRAM, of which the RTX 3060 Ti features 8GB memory and the RTX 3060 uses 12GB. Both video cards are running GDDR6, though it's the CUDA core count and bandwidth that allows the RTX 3060 Ti to provide superior gaming performance.
This is achieved through 4864 CUDA cores and a 256-bit bus width as opposed to the 3584 CUDA cores and 192-bit bus width of the standard model. They are both fantastic budget cards, but if you've got the choice between the two, then the RTX 3060 Ti Is our recommendation here.
RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti prices
The RTX 3060 line, in either of its configurations, impresses based upon its price-to-performance ratio, especially when considering that the RTX 3060 carries a $329 / £300 price tag and the RTX 3060 Ti has an MSRP of $399 and an RRP of £369 - not that you can currently find either video card for their retail prices online reliably at the moment.
It's the same story that we've seen with RTX 3080 stock and RTX 3070 stock; you're going to have to pay more than anticipated for either the RTX 3060 or RTX 3060 Ti models right now, however, through certain online retailers, it isn't too much of a mark-up in most cases considering the specific manufacturer variants.

Nvidia RTX 3060 | From $329 (Check Best Buy)
Best Buy doesn't currently have any RTX 3060 stock available, but we recommend checking in near the end of the month, as Totaltech members have exclusive access to RTX 30 series Founders Edition restocks (at MSRP).

Newegg is currently mostly dealing in RTX 3060 stock from partners for varying rates, all far above MSRP at the time of writing. Higher-end Gigabyte models are available around the $700 mark.

Nvidia RTX 3060 | From £300 (Check Amazon)
The cheapest price that we're able to verify from Amazon UK is £499.99 for a Palit Dual RTX 3060. If you're after something a little more upmarket for a similar price, however, then the Asus Dual OC RTX 3060 is available for £539.98. More GPUs are around this price point at the time of writing.
Nvidia RTX 3060 | From £300 (Check EBuyer)
Ebuyer is currently offering the Asus TUF RTX 3060 OC V2 for only £544.98. This is one of the cheapest prices that we've come across on the RTX 3060 post-launch in the UK, so we think this is worth the investment - given the current market.

While Box doesn't currently have much in the way of RTX 3060 GPUs, you'll find some exceptional rates on RTX 3060 laptops. The Asus TUF Dash F15 is down to just £799.97 (was £999.97), and the HP Victus is equally solid at £849.97 (also down from £999.97).

Where to buy RTX 3060 Ti - US
Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | From $399 (Check Amazon)

Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | From $399 (Check Best Buy)
While Best Buy doesn't currently have any RTX 3060 Ti stock available, it's worth noting that the big-box retailer did have a restock event very recently for Totaltech members. Your best bet seems to be to have a subscription to be first in line when RTX 30 series drops go live.
Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | From $399 (Check Newegg)
RTX 3060 Ti stock at Newegg is available, though on the pricier side of things. At a time where the standalone GPU will run you around the $900-$1,000 mark, we think prebuilt rigs, such as the ABS Master for $1,499.99 are a better value proposition.

Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | From £369 (Check Overclockers UK)
You can find many RTX 3060 Ti partner cards available at Overclockers, all of which hover around the £600 range at the time of writing. This retailer currently deals in higher-end partner cards, and there's a surplus of them to choose from.
Hope isn't lost completely for the rest of the RTX 30-series range; stock has been appearing sporadically throughout both the US and UK, but it could cost more than anticipated for the cards on their own.
