Nvidia's RTX 30 series launched last year, and if you've been trying to get hold of any of the GPUs in the range, you'll know first-hand what a seemingly impossible feat that is.
Whether you're trying to bag the pricey RTX 3080, or slightly less expensive RTX 3070, we've got you covered, but if the RTX 3060 ticks all your boxes, then we can also help you out with that!
Nvidia has already warned fans that it could be struggling to meet the demand for its graphics cards for the foreseeable future – right up until May, possibly. Nvidia isn't the only one facing supply issues, with Sony and Microsoft having similar trouble with the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Luckily we have a PS5 stock tracker and Xbox Series X stock tracker, so you've got all of your bases covered.
The RTX 3060 Ti is the cheapest card in the RTX 30 series right now, but that'll change in a few weeks, when the RTX 3060 launches near the end of the month. For now though, you can pick it up from $399 / £369 / AU$688 at the retailers below, providing it's in stock.
As with our PS5 and Xbox Series X buying guides, we recommend that you make accounts at these retailers and save your payment details to get through the checkout process as quickly as possible.
And as with the consoles, we also recommend you steer clear of scalpers reselling the products at an inflated price. Patience will pay off, so don't get ripped off by paying over the odds.
Where to buy Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti in the USA
Amazon
Amazon is a great place to pick up a new graphics card, but not so much if you're after the RTX 3060 Ti; the retailer doesn't seem to have the GPU listed at this time, but does feature the RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090 in its dedicated GeForce section. We'll be keeping an eye on the retailer for updates.
GameStop
GameStop seems an unlikely place to pick up a graphics card, but the retailer does list stock for some of the other RTX 30 series options. It doesn't seem to be stocking the RTX 3060 Ti, not that we'd expect to see it in stock anyway, but it's worth checking in on the site regularly.
B&H Photo
B&H is shaping up to be one of the best places to get the RTX 3060 Ti graphics card, with a great range of options from $479.99. There's nothing in stock at the moment, but like the RTX 3080, the website says that more cards are on the way, so we'll be keeping an eye on the retailer over the coming weeks.

Currys
Currys is another great place to look for RTX 3060 Ti cards – when it's finally back in stock. If you've been watching the retailer, you'll have noticed it's been getting sporadic stock of the RTX 3080 in, at certain locations, so it's worth checking the site daily in case you can pick one up.
Overclockers UK
Overclockers UK doesn't have any RTX 3060 Ti cards in stock right now, but the website says that there are more coming soon, which is great news given the plethora of options available for customers.

PLE Computers
The RTX 3060 Ti is also completely out of stock at PLE Computers, and there's no inkling as to when we can expect more. We'll keep an eye on the website over the coming weeks in case it gets a restock.
Of course you an always try going to the source itself, and visiting the Nvidia website to check out its RTX 3080 restock situation.
