NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 desktop GPU: 8GB, 4GB variants teased

NVIDIA is preparing not just one but two new GeForce RTX 3050 desktop GPUs in 8GB, and 4GB variants according to the latest leaks.

The new GeForce RTX 3050 will launch in two versions, the first is with the GA106-150 GPU with 2560 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 while the other is will have the GA106-140 GPU with 2304 CUDA cores and 4GB of GDDR6 memory. The other rumors of the GPU inside of the RTX 3050 had it pegged with 3072 CUDA cores, so these new rumors are very different.

Not only do we have a GPU with a different CUDA core count, but multiple versions of the RTX 3050: one with 8GB, one with 4GB. We should expect NVIDIA to unveil in early 2022, where we should see the company also unveil and release its powerful new GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card, as well as the laptop-focused GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPUs at CES 2022 in just a few weeks time.
