Nvidia’s RTX 3050 6GB, a rumored new spin at the finances graphics card from Crew Inexperienced, has been noticed indexed on-line (no longer for the primary time, we would possibly upload).
German tech website Computerbase spotted that Austrian store E-Tec had an RTX 3050 6GB live to tell the tale its site, however the product record has since been taken down. (That most often occurs when these types of leaks – which cynics would possibly argue are once in a while intentional – get reported on).
Alternatively, the record wasn’t ditched ahead of all of the main points of this graphics card had been grabbed via VideoCardz (by means of Tom’s {Hardware}), together with the all-important specifications and value.
The MSI Ventus 2X OC (overclocked) model of the RTX 3050 with 6GB of VRAM (the cardboard generally has 8GB) was once proven to run with 2,048 CUDA cores, a big 20% reduce in comparison to the two,560 cores which the prevailing (8GB) style sports activities.
The Ventus 2X could also be indexed with a base clock of one,552MHz and a spice up of one,807MHz, together with a TDP of 130W. As for the associated fee, that calls for an enormous quantity of seasoning, extra so than the specifications – and we’ll speak about that extra in a second…
Research: A bewildering soup of rumors
At this level, the rumored specifications for the RTX 3050 6GB appear reasonably in every single place, frankly. We’ve heard it’ll take care of the CUDA core depend of the prevailing RTX 3050, or that it’ll be reduce down via round 10%, or that it is going to undergo a big slash to the song of 20% as is proven right here – we’ve heard the latter principle ahead of (two times, if truth be told).
We’ve additionally noticed hypothesis that the clocks might be vastly dropped, doubtlessly, even if that no doubt isn’t the case right here. They’ll all the time be quicker on an overclocked style like this Ventus OC, thoughts, than an entry-level graphics card.
Even the rumored TDP broadly varies, from 130W right here, to 115W, then right down to 70W (thoughts you, that’s for a leaked fanless style from Palit, which is able to desire a lesser energy utilization because of the loss of energetic cooling).
Regardless of the case, with all of the theories across the specifications, and the leaks we’ve witnessed, all bouncing round in every single place the display, we’re vulnerable to mention simply fail to remember in regards to the {hardware} specification, actually – and hope that Nvidia isn’t chopping a lot down except for the VRAM. (Despite the fact that the CUDA core depend losing appears to be reasonably most likely, unfortunately, or a minimum of a extra prevalent thought).
The most productive factor to concentrate on with all that is that given the load of rumors, and a couple of on-line store leaping the gun now, the RTX 3050 6GB appears to be incoming – and in principle, it’ll arrive once subsequent month, or most likely in Q1 (the latter is discussed via the Austrian store). As for the associated fee, the store has it pitched too top (costing greater than the 8GB style), so we will safely forget about that asking value (it’s a placeholder, certainly).
The idea is this graphics card might be priced at $179 or in that ballpark in the United States, significantly not up to the MSRP of the present RTX 3050 which was once $249 at release. (And the pricing of the brand new GPU might be in keeping with that 30% drop in different areas, certainly, in comparison to the respective advisable pricing).
The issue is this doesn’t glance aggressive (in particular no longer if this new spin at the RTX 3050 is as reduce as some tips make it appear) towards AMD. Crew Pink has an overly aggressive providing within the type of the RX 6600, which is undeniably one of the vital highest reasonable GPUs you’ll purchase.
We’re suffering to peer how some incarnations of the purported RTX 3050 6GB are going to compete, frankly, until Nvidia drops the associated fee underneath the lately rumored call for at the finances gamer’s pockets.
