Got my notification to purchase!

Congrats!  Can you tell us what was your timestamp? (You can find it here.)  For which SKU? And have you previously purchased a card from the 30 series queue?

Money sounds tight for you, stop wasting money on toys. This is not a need product, it's a want product. In this current market, get over not being able to queue for the $80 cheaper card on launch day.

I see what you are saying, but there has to be some pushback on pricing. "The RTX 4050 is $800? Stop complaining, you don't need it anyway!"
If components get too expensive, far less people will build and use PCs, which means games will be less inclined to code/port to PCs, which means the hobby could see a decline into irrelevance. Hopefully that doesn't happen, but voting with our wallets is definitely a good idea.

If that happens, Nvidia and AMD deserve to decline into irrelevance. Everyone complained about Intel's pricing, wishing AMD would be more competitive and when AMD took the crown, they hiked their prices right past what Intel charged for their top end processors. I tossed AMD a bone and built a system with a 2600X CPU and upgraded it to a 3600XT, now I wish I never sent them a penny.

You should have taken advantage and bought AMD stocks when they took the crown around 2020. That system you built would have been free.

Would be nice to see someone from the Top 300 post they received an email to purchase.

I would guess no one in the Top 300 is going to waste their one-time golden ticket on a 3050, not with the 3090Ti coming soon.

When do you think the Ryzen 5 2600X came out? It came out in 2018.

I guess that someone who is really looking for a 3050 have no intention to buy a 3090 Ti.

When do you think you could have started with AMD stock? 2015, when it was less $2 a share. It was around $50 in 2020 then went to $150s late last year.
 
The point being is, these companies goal is to satisfy their investors. So why not be one of them?

Oh crap, read your post too fast. I thought you said AMD socket, not stock lol.

Not necessarily.  In another EVGA forum thread, somebody was talking about seeking a high end card for themselves and a 3050 for their offspring.  Totally makes sense to me (but enewt jr. will insist that she get the powerful gpu..."your eyes are failing anyway dad...what does it matter?!?")  

Yeap absolutely, but once again, I`m guessing those are exception. We might have those that have 2 builds as well, like me.
But as I can see from this forum and other places, for the majority, the 3050 will be an upgrade from their old and tired GPU.

How often do score update?   I registered like 4-5 items recently, but it was after the 11th update.

Honestly, how many people with a Top 300 EVGA score (10,000-200,000 points or so) are looking for a 3050? I guess you could go for the bird in hand to flip and figure the rest out as you go.

Me, my Score is 11993, not sure if that's enough to be in the Top 300. I want a 3050 for my LG OLED55CXPUA TV to release my higher performing 30 series card to do other things and still use the HDMI 2.1 of the 30 series card to get the best picture from my TV.
 
I don't want a 3090 or a 3080 12GB card as I already have a 3080 Ti.

With score that high, someone should be doing my laundry for me.
