Good news everybody: Nvidia's RTX 3050 appears to be rubbish at mining
With crypto price sliding we shall see more of these rubbish at mining cards ... ever wonder why in the name of chip shortage only gpu and processor prices went up ( only talking about pc category ) but not the price of motherboards ?
Mobos don't consume same chips produced in foundries to be used in processor & gpu & chip shortage is not universal but depends on categories(reason why automobile sector will face longer chip shortage than pc market). However crypto prices do factor significantly in pricing strategy of gpu card manufacturers nowadays because they don't want others to profit from their products without getting an adequate share themselves.

Those who bought 30 series cards early on before covid and crypto. They are so damn lucky. I had the chance too, Rs 44k for 3070 founders edition. Although didnt go, as I went for laptop later on due to travel reasons.

RX6600 is 32k now, better deal. RTX 3050 would be ok for 23-25k though as you will then pay 20% extra for 20% performance improvement.

RX6600 is around 40k
RX6650XT 45k-50k
RX6750XT 75k
AMD pricing so just too bad. I think nothing is competitive with Nvidia but just rather sits in middle with their performance and pricing albeit on higher end. At price around 70k, one can go with 3070 and 3070Ti
RTX 3050 seem to be going at 35k-45k,
RTX 3060Ti 50k-70k
With all this, 1660S at 26k looks so enticing for budget card.

Prices have fell actually for AMD as well.
6600 - 32k
6600XT - 38k
6650XT - 42k
6700XT - 60k
RTX 3060 - 38k
3060Ti - 52k
3070 - 60k
These prices are present on md, vedant & primeabgb as well. Some small sellers have 3070 as low as 55k.

This is the right price for NVIDIA AIB cards:
3060 @ 35K
3060Ti @ 40K
3070 @ 50K
3080 @ 65-70K
3080 12GB @ 80K
3080 Ti is basically money grab from Nvidia
If you pay more than this, you're just feeding the greedy retailers.
AMD had set the MSRP higher at launch for 6000 series, hence they are not worth considering.
Better to wait for next gen at this point.

Hmmm I think 6650XT is better value at this point because of very high cost of 3060Ti offered by local retailers. But Is the 42k version with dual fans is adequate for hot Indian climate?
Edit:
Sorry I thought this is GPU related queries thread, hence posted above comments. My bad.

No I don't think so. 3080 can perform at max with i5-12600 or 5600X, or I would guess even i5-12400. if 3080 can be purchased within 80K-90K, then its easily doable within 2L INR with all premium components.Hmm, to assemble a whole config with RTX3080 will go more than 200k

IMO, without monitor can be done for 170k or so with i7 12700 that too. Putting i5 on 3080 seems kind of unfair to me.Hmm, to assemble a whole config with RTX3080 will go more than 200k

Don't you think if it's only for gaming then 3080 will pair well with i5? That remaining budget can be used for monitor then. After reading Zangetsu's post I am assuming here that a PC with 3080 will be used mostly to play games.
