NVIDIA develops RTX 3050 graphics card with a TDP of only 70W and 6GB memory with 2304 CUDA cores

News from this site on January 15, according to VideoCardz reports, Nvidia is developing an RTX 3050 graphics card with 6GB of video memory, which is expected to be released in the next few weeks.

Different from the 8GB video memory version of the RTX 3050 launched in January 2022, this new model has fewer cores, less video memory, and smaller bandwidth and power consumption .

This graphics card is equipped with 2304 CUDA cores and has specifications similar to the RTX 3050 OEM version, but the memory bus width is reduced to 96bit, so the bandwidth drops directly from 224 GB/s to 168GB/s.

Comparison between RTX 3050 8GB and RTX 3050 6GB

CUDA: 2560 → 2304 (-10%)

Video memory: 8GB → 6GB (-25%)

Bandwidth: 224 GB/s → 168 GB/s (-25%)

GPU Frequency: 1552/1777 MHz → 1042/1470 MHz (-32%/-17%)

TDP: 130W → 70W (-46%)

Judging from the specifications, this graphics card can be named RTX 3040 instead of 3050. Foreign media predicts that its price will be $179 (Notes from this site: Currently about 1285 yuan), it is more cost-effective than the existing RTX 3050.

In addition, considering the TDP design of only 70W, this graphics card can be easily driven by PCIe power supply alone, so I believe that many manufacturers will launch blade cards without external power supply, or even passive cooling graphics cards, so please expect.
