Nvidia supposedly launched a $329 graphics card today, the GeForce RTX 3060, but I've yet to see much proof.

Orders began today at 9AM PT / 12PM ET for a card whose listed prices ranged from $329.99 all the way up to $629.99, averaging $471. Those aren't scalper prices, mind you. They're the retail prices set by Nvidia's partners.

As far as I can tell, the only places that actually claimed to stock a card for $329.99 were Newegg and EVGA's own website, and neither simply put the card on sale: Newegg is only raffling off chances to buy the cards, and EVGA has a queue where you hit a notify me" button. In both cases, you wait for the company to hopefully email you back with good news.
