Question about non-reference card releases

[Peat Moss]

I haven't bought a video card in ages and haven't kept track of when their release dates are. That is, until now.

I'm planning to get an NVIDIA card next year (possibly 3060 or 3050 ), and was wondering....How soon after the reference cards do the third party non-reference cards (e.g. MSI, ASUS, etc.) get released? Is there a predictable pattern?

I could be wrong but i believe it is generally a week after.

From what I can see - the Nvidia type AICs are already out for the released cards. The AMD cards out now are all MBA. The AMD AIB custom cards should be out in 1-2 weeks

So with Nvidia cards it's usually within a couple of weeks?

Good to know. Thanks.
