Is it though? I'd expect it to be pretty close to 2060 in practice.It does have the dubious honour of being the slowest ever RTX card given that it's less performant than the RTX 2060.
Me too, in some cases (vram size, raw TFlops) it'll probably eclipse 2060, in others not so much (mem bandwith).Is it though? I'd expect it to be pretty close to 2060 in practice.
Close ....What is the rumor on the underlying die source for 3050? Is it just a failed and then reclaimed 3060 with half the memory channels populated?
The specifications for Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 3050 have been released NVIDIA. It'll get 8GB of VRAM. and will cost 249 USD.
In addition, because the GA106 is already being utilized for the GeForce RTX 3060, Nvidia may be able to recover any garbage dies that don't satisfy the specifications of the GeForce RTX 3060 and use them in the GeForce RTX 3050.

The RTX 3050 delivers up to twice the performance of the GTX 1650, making it an good value for 1080p gaming. Its performance with RT and DLSS enabled is likewise fantastic, exceeding 60 frames per second in numerous titles when DLSS is enabled, allowing you to enjoy ray-tracing without spending a fortune. As the title says, the RTX 3050 will cost $249, which means that it will no longer be required to pay out such a large sum to take use of the RTX line's capabilities.
I'd like it more if it would be a 20GB version of 3080 at $900 or so. A 12GB one at $1200 makes about zero sense from any perspective. ETH can't move the fuck off to POS soon enough really.I'd like more if the 384bit version was GDDR6 instead of GDDR6X and cooler and more efficient.
I don't think it's necessarily a given that prices will be going back down.I'd like it more if it would be a 20GB version of 3080 at $900 or so. A 12GB one at $1200 makes about zero sense from any perspective. ETH can't move the fuck off to POS soon enough really.
They will once the cryptomining induced demand will leave the picture. There aren't a lot of people willing to pay >$1000 USDs for a new videocard.I don't think it's necessarily a given that prices will be going back down.
