In 2022, suddenly both GPU giants AMD and Intel have targeted the entry-level GPU market that it completely forget over a year now. Both launched the new RX 6500 XT and RTX 3050 series to satisfy gamers, it seems like both GPUs will target the potential 1080p gamers who want an affordable GPU without sacrificing performance.
As shared by Board Channels, NVIDIA is rumoured to have offered a larger supply of RTX 3050 cards than RTX 3060/3060Ti. Now, we exactly do not know the comparison of the stock which is compared to, whether it is the current supply or the supply for the launch day though it mentions ‘the first batch’.
The GPU has a very tactical launch date of January 27th, just a week after AMD’s RX 6500 XT launches, and it seems NVIDIA would target the Chinese New Year (February 1st). As Videocardz points out, a large number of orders cannot be fulfilled until after the Spring Festival.
In terms of specs, the new GeForce RTX 3050 is a cut-down GA106 GPU featuring 2560 CUDA cores, complemented by 8GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit bus. In terms of specs, the RTX 3050 desktop GPU is a better deal for gamers than the Radeon RX 6500XT, which is though $50 less in price, however, comes with lower cores and just 4GB VRAM.
