Sorry, I haven't checked Newegg prices, I assumed they are now below MSRP, since new RTX 3060 are now sold in Germany for 380 EUR, which is actually below MSRP + VAT. Weren't there articles on how prices of Nvidia cards have been plummeting below MSRP here and on WCCFTech?
Those articles are always BS. Somebody sees one card somewhere for cheap as part of a special promotion and writes a whole article about it.

Budget? We're takling about matching the 2 year old card prices with a product that matches these cards only in best case scenarios, and we have to disregard the games that don't play nice.

Increasing prices on RTX 3060 makes sense, the same happened back with Pascal cards (GTX 10X0) when Turing (RTX 20X0) came out with zero price / performance increase.

This time it's even worse, Nvidia actually now claims that Ampere cards are still the current generation, and the top end Ada cards (RTX 4080, 4090) are for now just positioned above, with as much price increase as we have performance increase.
Once again, a bit of patience can work miracles here. Buy at launch and you know you're in for buyer's remorse if price is a thing.

Wccftech reports the following (too good to be true):

«The graphics cards will be bundled with a range of games & apps that alone amount to around $500 US in value:
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (Full Download ARV: US$69.99)
  • Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed (Full Download ARV: US$39.99)
  • Gotham Knights (Full Download ARV: US$59.99)
  • The Settlers (Full Download ARV: US$59.99)
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt (In-Game Content ARV: US$20.00)»

That really seems to good to be true but Call of Duty is confirmed and 3 others will also be part of their play pass thing (register on the website for free after purcharse)

The new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is included with qualifying Intel Arc 7 GPUs! Think that’s sweet? Let’s make it downright saccharine with even more games. Gotham Knights, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, and The Settlers come with an Intel Arc A750 or A770 and opt-in registration for the Intel Gaming Access program at game.intel.com.

What happens if you are not interested in either of these games?
Why don't they offer CHOICE, like 2 games of choice, for ex. F1 2022, DiRT Rally 2.0, etc.?

Because that costs a lot more money, they need to look for developers interested in offering them a bulk discount after all. The same happens when nvidia or amd does this kind of deal to incentivize buyers (nvidia sometimes has a bit more choices but they also have a lot of connections to make that happen).

If you don't want any of them, sell them or give them away.

That is really a massive amount of data! It's a shame I never look at performance data that comes from a manufacturer.

I don't doubt they could bundle in this much "value", game developers are well aware that they don't loose any significant sales from this, and even if they get a minuscule amount per game, the total volume will still give them a decent payoff.

But for buyers, it shouldn't count as value, as most buyers wouldn't be buying these games after the purchase anyways. (and those who would probably already own them)

I prefer AMD Radeon. But second choice would be Intel Arc.
I never prefer nvidia geforce.
We all knew that, but thanks for finally admitting your bias ;)

It's absolutely important to remind people of this, as buyers have to rely on a low quality abstraction layer for probably half of their game collection or more.
