I'm wagering it will be the 8GB version, which brings nothing of value to the market.

Anyone know about the production or market price of GDDR6? Or is anyone sitting on a lot of stock?

The 5050 uses GDDR6, so that can't be the reason. They must be having problems with TSMC N5/4 supply.

Hmm, didn't consider the 8nm lithography for this chip. Maybe that is it. If that's the case, let's rebrand and make some 20GB 3080s!

For the low, low price of $3k

The 3060 12gb was frequently the top-selling card on Amazon throughout 2025. Works great with transformer model IME. I only sold mine on because it would gather dust. Instead of gaming it up in someone else's system.

Probably going to end up the all-time best-selling $200+ GPU. If it isn't already.
