NVIDIA Reportedly Set to Introduce More Affordable RTX 3050 Version in February 2024

A new, budget-friendly GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics card from NVIDIA is said to be in the works, with a possible release date in February 2024.

Chinese sources from Board Channels have shared rumors of a redesigned RTX 3050 GPU featuring a modified VRAM capacity, likely 6GB. As a lower-cost option compared to the existing 8GB VRAM, this GPU is anticipated to be priced at roughly $219.99.

The speculated launch price for the upcoming GeForce RTX 3050 6GB version is $179, as per the information obtained from Board Channels. This would make it at least $40 less expensive than its 8GB counterpart.

At this time, no official statement regarding the pricing of the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB has been provided by NVIDIA. It’s worth noting that pricing details may change prior to the product’s official launch.

The GeForce RTX 3050 6GB card’s reduced VRAM might result in a 96-bit memory bus and possibly include 2,048 CUDA cores. Keep in mind that these details remain speculative until NVIDIA officially confirms the specifications.
