Don't have the 560 Ti anymore. Do have a passively cooled 3050 6GB so I guess I will survive.
I think the universe wants me to go down this PhysX rabbit hole. Open box 3050 6GB at Micro Center FTW!

Also, what model of 3050 6GB do you have that's passively cooled or what kit did you put on it to make it so, because that's my ideal setup going forward. i.e. I'll probably use the 3050 6GB for PhysX when I upgrade in the future; ideally passively cooled and bus-powered.

P.S. Thanks for the riser advice. Ordered a PCIe 4.0 riser off of Amazon and it should arrive today. Hope to play with hardware this weekend and satisfy my (et. al.) curiosity.

A 3050 is still going for that kind of money?

I've always wanted a slot powered passive card (easiest to install especially when you are moving between multiple builds for benchmarking etc.) so nabbed the Palit KalmX from Europe at launch because I knew it's kind of a hard card to get. It's now available in my local Amazon for about $50 less than I spent on importing it but there was no guarantee it would ever be available here so oh well

I'll keep that in mind. I should be traveling to Germany sometime this year for business.

So I looked and Best Buy has a Hawk/5070 laptop available to preorder for $1599. I thought nVidia claimed starting at $1299 but that's almost has to be Raptor.

5060 Ti 16 GB rumored to have the full 28 gbps GDDR7 and the TDP is increased to 180 W from 165 W.

I assume the MSRP will be the same - $399 for the 8 GB model and $499 for the 16.

In other words, a joke? At least for the 16GB model. May as well get a 5070.

As for the 8GB, I'm sure it will sell plenty. I think some people who are more informed will be wary of the 8GB VRAM though.

At least last gen there was a bigger gap for the 16GB to fall into, and it was still a $100 step up to the 4070.
You'd be crazy to pay $500 here for a 16GB 5060Ti when the 5070 is *ahem* $50 more expensive.

Now, will anyone but a few launch day luckies get a $550 5070? Who knows.

499$ for the 16GB card would be very unattractive. Especially if AMDs 9070 non-XT gets released at 499...549$ and 16GB as well and much higher performance overall.

5070 and 5060 Ti 16GB should be DoA but I'm sure they will sell well.

imagine all the people who bought scalped cards... and now they can't even RMA it, because on most occasions its not transferable, and no one really gives receipt when scalping the card.
As far as I know, MSI will honor the warranty from the “born on” date of the serial number instead of a purchase date in the event you don’t have a receipt. That’s something at least. Other manufacturers not so much.

I had to research this during the last Great Scalping wherein MSI became my vendor of choice for this reason. A $900 6700XT and $500 6600 :/
