ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4060 to Cost 500 Euros
Retail pricing of custom-design GeForce RTX 4060 graphics cards were momentarily leaked by Finnish retailer ProShop, as seen by PCGH, and it's not a pretty sight. The upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 (non-Ti), which goes on sale June 29, at a starting price of $299, is for all intents and purposes, a mid-range graphics card. While all board partners are said to have basic-looking MSRP models in their lineup, their non-MSRP custom-designs range anywhere between 349€ (including taxes), for the GIGABYTE WindForce OC, to an eye-watering 499€ for the ASUS ROG Strix.
282€ (excluding taxes) appears to be the NVIDIA MSRP for the RTX 4060 in the EU, with the GIGABYTE WindForce OC and ASUS DUAL being listed at this price. There are a segment that has the same design as MSRP cards, but a slight factory OC, for a roughly 10-20€ premium. These include the likes of the ASUS DUAL OC and GIGABYTE Eagle OC. We then get into the flashy premium segment, with the GIGABYTE Gaming OC at 380€, GIGABYTE AERO OC at 390€, and GIGABYTE AORUS Elite at 420€. At the very top is the ASUS ROG Strix at 490€ for the mild OC model, and the ASUS ROG Strix OC (highest OC) model at 500€ (all prices include taxes). When installed, the ASUS ROG Strix will look like it's from a segment above, despite being based on NVIDIA's smallest AD107 silicon that drives the RTX 4060. It will be an interesting choice between this, and the cheapest RTX 4060 Ti.

i blame the idiots buying cards at this prices, just like Linus said. I would prefer to buy a mined used card then give more to this idiocy
You buy it or you don't - price is going to stay the same, sadly.
I bought a mined 2070 (250 Euros) and died after 2 months with 0 chance of a refund. No thanks.
€500 gets you a new 16GB 6800XT or a used RTX 3090. It's not even a no-brainer, you are a certifiable dumbass if you pay €500 for an 8GB graphics card.
you got bad luck, used market is not that bad
This is the price. And for extra logic to this whole affair you get an 8GB card that can't even look at RT without dropping to single digit FPS. But, luckily you have DLSS3! While support lasts.
Go go, keep buying the man leather jackets.Buy cards from people that you can trust. This means, local markets or marketplaces with a strong reputation system and ditto seller.
I have a 100% clean track record with half a dozen second hand cards going through my rigs. I also resell my own cards every time. Its the best way to game at a super low budget, still be current and have great performance in games.
Also, Nvidia definitely does care about gaming cards/Geforce. They were extremely vulnerable for as long as gaming was their only and primary revenue, and many other plot twists have backfired for them, like their automotive push. They lost console access on the largest console audiences on the market already. They are pushing AI hard now... but its future is uncertain. Gaming and a baseline of enterprise is in fact one of the few constants for them, the rest is an adventure.
4060 we are looking at 300 and 390 probably.
