We speculated on this graphics card and we didn’t fail, but NVIDIA had a surprise in store for us to compete with AMD and Intel. Today some of the specifications of the two models most anticipated by the community of gamers on a tight budget are filtered, and it is because in view of the market and its prices these two GPUs are the great hope of today’s gamer. hui: 8 GB and 4 GB RTX 3050.
As if it were a script from a movie and exactly two weeks ago we were talking about the older sister of these two graphics cards which will be called the RTX 3050 Ti. While there have been rumors about today’s protagonists, only the name and VRAM setup have been revealed, so we speculated on the likelihood of the general setup and… We once again had raison.
NVIDIA RTX 3050: two different flavors
RTX 3050
GA106-150, 2560FP32, 8G
GA106-140, 2304FP32, 4G– kopite7kimi (@ kopite7kimi) December 16, 2021
The leak just a moment ago reveals that NVIDIA plans to attack where it hurts AMD and Intel the most: in diversification. It is assumed that your RTX 3050 will be faster than its rivals, but at the same time it is not specified on which version of its rivals.
AMD seems to be betting everything on one RX 6500 XT 8 GB, Intel with enabled A380
What we will have in stores are two GPUs with different computing power based on an 8GB RTX 3050 which, as we predicted two weeks ago, will have 2560 Shaders FP32 under a chip GA106-150-Kx which will be the fastest version. The slower version and with it the least powerful Ampere GPU in the entire range will be the 4 GB RTX 3050 which will surprise locals and foreigners alike.
The 4 GB RTX would be faster than its rivals
What we will find with this new variant is a RTX 3050 4 GB with 2304 Shaders FP32 under a bullet named GA106-140 which, by the RX 6500 XT and A380’s disclosed specifications, is expected to be, if not faster, to be on a par with its rivals.
Comparatively, it should be higher than the GTX 1660 SUPER and lower than the original RTX 2060. The problem is, this version has less VRAM than the options from AMD and Intel, so it should be consistently faster if you want to stay in the market, as the price surely won’t be low compared to what it is. ‘we see now.
Either way, we should always talk about MSRP as we always talk about TDP when generalizing, and in this case it should be in a range of 200 dollars for the 4 GB version and 250 dollars for the 8 GB version. That would leave a small GAP for the supposed RTX 3050 Ti, where many rumors claim that this Titanium model is in fact the one named here RTX 3050 and therefore does not exist.
This would increase the price of the two GPUs that we refer to in this article, because remember that the RTX 3060 has an MSRP of $ 329, so if that was the case, the price of the RTX 3050 would be a bit higher than what has been commented on. We will have to wait to get something clear.
