A brand new entry-level Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card with decrease VRAM capability than the earlier mannequin (RTX 3050 8GB) could possibly be coming quickly. In a brand new leak, RTX 3050 6GB has been found in on-line product listings of a Russia-based PC {hardware} retailer often known as Citilink.
The leak was noticed by VideoCardz, and the RTX 3050 6GB had leaked earlier than as effectively. With this leak, we are able to now uncover a number of features of the upcoming RTX 3050 6GB GPU, comparable to its clock velocity, whole graphics energy (TGP), and PCIe connector size.
Three new fashions from Nvidia’s GPU model accomplice Palit have been leaked right here. These embrace Palit’s RTX 3050 StormX, StormX OC, and KalmX variants. Reportedly, these are coming with 6GB GDDR6 VRAM capability.
On the time of writing, the leaked itemizing on Citilink.ru continues to be up. By the way in which, the KalmX variant is notably a fan-less variant of RTX 3050! Will probably be attention-grabbing to see how the passive cooler will deal with prolonged gaming classes.
Talking of the RTX 3050 6GB specs, it has been revealed on this very early product itemizing that this GPU has 115W TGP. In comparison with the beforehand launched 8GB variant (which is rated at 130W), this new cut-down model consumes 13% decrease energy.
Take into account that Nvidia has not but confirmed the existence of this GPU so issues may change upon launch. Together with decrease VRAM capability, this new cut-down variant could have barely decrease efficiency as effectively.
The aforementioned base clock velocity of the 6GB variant can be dramatically decrease, listed at 1042MHz. For reference, Palit’s web site lists RTX 3050 (older 8GB mannequin) with 1552MHz of base clock velocity. Within the picture, you too can see that the PCIe connector is shorter than standard.
Primarily based on this, RTX 3050 6GB ought to function on PCIe 4.0 x8 (8 lanes). Even the RTX 4060 Ti operates on PCIe 4.0 x8 however has a PCIe x16 bodily interface. As you’ll be able to see, this Palit RTX 3050 6GB has a bodily shorter PCIe x8 connector, too!
Whereas the pricing of RTX 3050 6GB has been talked about right here (RUB 28,720), it’s likely placeholder pricing. The true pricing of this GPU is but to be revealed. Hopefully, we are going to hear extra about this GPU quickly. It’s anticipated that Nvidia will launch this entry-level graphics card in February 2024.
What are your ideas on RTX 3050 6GB? If you’re on the lookout for an entry-level graphics card, would you take into account this Nvidia RTX 3050 with cut-down specs? Tell us within the feedback under.
