Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti GPU listings pop up all over the place – with surprising prices

Image Description

Nvidia’s RTX 3060 Ti has been the subject of a load of leaks and multiple sightings online, and now we have a bunch of retailers in Europe jumping the gun and accidentally (or indeed, perhaps not so mistakenly in some cases) listing the GPU complete with pricing.

Although it has to be said, as VideoCardz, which flagged this up, points out, the pricing is a bit all over the place – surprisingly so.

A whole host of listings come from a Latvian retailer (Dateks), with prices for third-party 3060 Ti graphics cards ranging from €502 up to €592 (ouch on the latter, which is the Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti Aorus Master).

What casts a whole heap of doubt on the accuracy here, however, is that Gigabyte’s Eagle OC (overclocked) model is cheaper than the vanilla Eagle card, which can’t be right – so take the other prices with a huge dose of salt.

There are other retailers who have posted pre-release prices – and at this point, we are assuming that the rumored December 2 launch date for the 3060 Ti is correct, particularly as a Scan UK listing for Gigabyte’s Eagle card is clearly an accidental slipup, as it states ‘NDA 2/12’ (in other words, subject to a nondisclosure agreement until December 2 – that listing has now been pulled down, unsurprisingly).

Scan didn’t list a price with this mistaken product entry, but several Spanish retailers did, including one which pegged that Gigabyte Eagle RTX 3060 Ti at €483, and a Portuguese retailer listed the OC version of that card at €525.

Rough indication

Most of the prices are clustered around the €500 mark or just above, so that does give us at least some indication of what to expect. That’s around $600, £450 or AU$800, if you’re curious, although a direct currency translation doesn’t mean much when it comes to hardware asking prices, of course.

Remember that these are third-party cards, some of which are considerably beefed up and therefore more expensive than Nvidia’s own RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition, which is expected to retail at $499. Of course, that’s just the rumored price, and indeed everything around the RTX 3060 Ti remains speculation, strictly speaking.

Although given the sheer weight of all the rumors now whirling around, it would at this point be a major shock if Nvidia isn’t about to unleash this graphics card. Still, you never know until it actually happens…

The rumor mill believes that the RTX 3060 Ti will come pretty close to the RTX 3070 in terms of performance, and another leak points to it outdoing the last-gen RTX 2080 Super. Although all this will mean little if you can’t actually buy the thing, as has been the case with Nvidia’s previous Ampere launches.

  • Microsoft is finally fixing the Windows 11 taskbar’s biggest flaw

    The Windows 11 taskbar is perhaps the most controversial element of Microsoft’s new operating system, with many of the changes the company made being disliked by users – but the good news is that Microsoft appears to be listening to feedback by changing one of the biggest complaints people had about it.

    Unlike in previous versions of Windows, in Windows 11 you can’t drag and drop apps onto the taskbar to quick add shortcuts to your favourite software. You also can’t drag and drop files onto app icons in the taskbar to open up the files in the app of your choice.

    The taskbar was also locked to the bottom of the screen, so you couldn’t move it to the side or top of the screen, which some people preferred. These limitations are incredibly annoying, as it prevents Windows 11 users from performing quick and convenient tasks that previous versions of Windows allowed. Worse, there was no obvious reason why drag and drop functionality was removed.

    Because of this, there has been a vocal backlash about the changes, and according to Windows Report, Microsoft will add this much-requested feature, but it likely won’t arrive until 2022.

    We’ll probably see the feature arrive in the Dev Channel version of the Insider Preview first, which is an early build of Windows 11 that allows people, especially app developers, to test out new features before they are rolled out to the entire Windows 11 user base.

    As Research Snipers points out, there’s reference to drag and drop functionality coming “after the Christmas holidays in Redmond,” which coincides with when we could expect the Windows 11 22H1 update.

    Analysis: complaining works

    While early 2022 may seem like a long way off to wait for a feature that should have launched with Windows 11 back in October, at least Microsoft appears to be listening to its users and adding drag and drop functionality.

    As with Windows 10, Windows 11 features a ‘Feedback Hub’ where you can tell Microsoft what you think of the operating system and its features. This is useful if there’s something you don’t like, and as we can see, that feedback can be used to help shape Windows 11 in the future.

    So, while we remain baffled at Microsoft’s decision to kill drag and drop features from the Windows 11 taskbar, we have to give the company credit for listening to its users and righting those wrongs.

    In the meantime, Microsoft has been adding more features to the Windows 11 taskbar, such as a new icon for quickly muting your microphone, which is a great addition that improves the security of people’s devices. As we noted in our Windows 11 review, this is an operating system that will continue to evolve and improve, so check out our guide on how to download Windows 11 if you want to give it a try.
