Doesnt amd have better pricing right now? But who knows, my usual would be ebay... obviously not now

Seriously though, the amd line is actually pretty nutty. Its their cpus that are trash for anything that actually matters to most consumers.

 

Also msrp, is kinda impossible unless someone is willing to personally sell it, if you want msrp, best bet is waiting for the 7000 series amd or the 4k series nvidia and getting on a waitlist of some sort or preorder.

If I had one wish, I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss

If you want MSRP you would have to buy a founder's edition. I believe only the 3060ti has one. Good luck getting one though since for every new founder's edition card there are a million people/bots waiting to buy it, but maybe you are lucky. Easiest to get is what your local store has on their shelves, depending on where you live that might be nothing. Personally I would get the 3060ti because in theory it has the best price to performance for my use case. Think about what you want to do with it. If you only play cs:go get the 3050 for example. Then if you decide to do that, think about paying 400-500 bucks for a low tier card like the 3050, that should really cost 200. Not in this economy I guess haha. I would just wait a little longer instead of paying those prices, but that's just my personal opinion.

I have decided to try to get a gpu new at Msrp so two questions 

1. Where should I try to buy it?

2.I can afford a 3050, 3060, or a 3060 ti which one should I buy?/ which one would be easiest to get?

🤣

Good luck with that.

 

I really wish things were better, but you might find something, just most likely not at the base MSRP. Just a slim chance.
