GeForce RTX 3050 6GB with fewer cores and lower TDP
Newer entry-level SKUs may not require an external power connector.
NVIDIA is gearing up to release the latest addition to its graphics card lineup, the RTX 3050 6GB, which is expected to hit the market in the coming weeks. Unlike the original RTX 3050 with 8GB memory that was launched in January 2022, this new model features reduced core count, memory size, bandwidth, and power. They shouldn’t have similar names.
Equipment 2304 CUDA cores, Although it has similar specs to the RTX 3050 OEM version, this card goes further by reducing its specs. Memory bus to 96 bits. In contrast to the 128-bit models (including his OEM card mentioned above), this change resulted in a noticeable drop in memory bandwidth, dropping significantly from 224 GB/s to just 224 GB/s. 168GB/s.
RTX 3050 8GB vs. RTX 3050 6GB
- core:2560→2304 -Ten%
- memory:8GB→6GB -twenty five%
- bandwidth:224GB/s → 168GB/s -twenty five%
- gpu clock:1552/1777MHz→1042/1470MHz -32%/-17%
- TDP:130W→70W -46%
According to information gathered from board partners, the RTX 3050 6GB is said to have significantly reduced power consumption. 70W TDP Compared to the original 130W.This reduction It has a big impact on the GPU clock. of Base clock was set to 1042 MHz is reduced by 510 MHz, and the boost clock is less affected, but hovers around 1470 MHz, just 307 MHz lower than its predecessor.
As we previously reported, some RTX 3050 6GB cards come with passive coolers, which is possible due to their lower power requirements. This card is expected to be issued in the coming weeks. I can’t help but wonder why this card is called RTX 3050 instead of his RTX 3040.
