Enjoy X-VSION GRAPHICS CARD GeForce RTX 3050 8GB save cost
The most affordable RTX 3000-series yet
The GeForce RTX™ 3050 is built with the powerful graphics performance of the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. It offers dedicated 2nd gen RT Cores and 3rd gen Tensor Cores, new streaming multiprocessors, and high-speed G6 memory to tackle the latest games. Step up to GeForce RTX.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 is billed as the company’s most affordable entry-level GPU yet and is targeted at gamers still rocking the by-now ageing GTX 1650 or GTX 1650 Ti graphics cards. Like the GeForce RTX 3060 before it, there’s no Founders Edition model and NVIDIA has launched the card with a slew of custom offerings right from the outset. Aims to provide solid 1080p performance with the benefit of ray tracing as well as NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (or DLSS).
Here’s an overview of its specifications and how it compares to the GeForce RTX 3060:
Specifications
| NVIDA GeForce RTX 3050 | NVIDA GeForce RTX 3060 | |
| GPU | GA106 | GA106 |
| CUDA cores | 2,560 | 3,584 |
| ROPs | 32 | 48 |
| TMUs | 80 | 112 |
| Pixel Fillrate | 56.9 GPixel/s | 85.3 GPixel/s |
| Texture Fillrate | 142.2 GTexel/s | 199.0 GTexel/s |
| Base/ Boost clock | 1,552MHz/1,777MHz | 1,320MHz/1,777MHz |
| Video memory | 8GB GDDR6 | 12GB GDDR6 |
| Memory bus width | 128-bit | 192-bit |
| Memory bandwidth | 224GB/s | 360GB/s |
| Graphics Card Power (W) | 130W | 170W |
As no Founders Edition card is available, Unlike its more expensive siblings, this card is a no-frills card that does not even come with its own RGB lighting so as to save costs . It really does not pretend to be anything else more than a functional graphics card – it’s not even factory overclocked – and that’s actually a good thing for this review, as the card will give us a more accurate assessment of the RTX 3050’s base-level performance.
If you’re looking to build an entry-level gaming system with a mini-ITX casing in mind, the RTX 3050 diminutive size (230mm long) and low power draw (a 450W PSU is more than enough) makes it an appealing option – perhaps a little more so than the GeForce RTX 3060, which has a higher minimum power draw of 170W. For display outputs, the card sports two HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. inclined dual fans, ultra-quiet PWM fan and pure copper heat pipe.
The GeForce RTX 3050 is a great graphics card for the 1080p masses and delivers DLSS (and a bit of ray tracing, depending on the games) and other RTX 30-series tech such as NVIDIA IO and Reflex to gamers looking for a suitable replacement for their ageing GeForce GTX 1650/1650 Ti.
*** What gamers really want for 2022 is to be able to buy their graphics cards at sane prices. ***
