NVDIA is preparing to introduce the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB, a new graphics card that will be introduced at some point in the future. The month of February, and the launch of which should occur immediately, i.e. simultaneously with its presentation. This model will not be OEM exclusive, meaning it can be purchased without any problems in the shops.

The GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB is, generally speaking, a shortened version of the GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB, which places in a low range and that will of course have a lower price. So that you are clear from the beginning what we can expect from individual graphics cards, I will share with you a comparison of specifications, as well as expected performance and price.

It is important to note that, as always in the graphics card market, Price may vary depending on each model specifically and the quality of assembly. The price I’m going to share with you is what the reference model will have, which is the lowest possible price we’ll get that new graphics card for.

GeForce RTX 3050 6GB specifications

• GA106 GPU (Amp) in 8 nm.
• 2,304 shaders at 1,042 MHz-1,470 MHz, normal and turbo mode.
• 72 texturing units.
• 32 raster units.
• 18 second generation RT cores.
• 72 tensor cores of the third generation.
• 96-bit bus.
• 6 GB of GDDR6 memory at 14 GHz.
• Bandwidth 168 GB/s.
• 70W TGP. You won’t need a powerful power supply and you won’t need an additional power connector either.

GeForce RTX 3050 8GB specifications

• GA106 GPU (Amp) in 8 nm.
• 2560 shaders at 1552MHz-1777MHz, normal and turbo mode.
• 80 texturing units.
• 32 raster units.
• 20 second generation RT cores.
• 80 tensor cores of the third generation.
• 128-bit bus.
• 8 GB of GDDR6 memory at 14 GHz.
• Bandwidth 224 GB/s.
• TGP 130 watts, needs an additional 8-pin power connector.

The differences between the two graphics cards will be so important that the 6GB version directly places to a lesser extent. This will have fewer shaders, although the notch will not be as high as previous leaks suggested that the graphics card It was supposed to have 2,048 shaders.

According to Videocardz, its operating frequency will also be lower, the bandwidth will be significantly reduced and we have less graphics memory. If we put it all together, I think that in general the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB performance will be 20% to 30% lower than the GeForce RTX 3050 8GBand this difference could be greater in graphics memory limited scenarios.

The positive thing is the consumption, which would drop to 70 watts, which means that we will not need another power connector and the installers will be able to create models with a very thin, light and compact design. As for the price, it will most likely end up somewhere in between 150 and 179 dollars.
