Earlier this month, at CES 2022, both AMD and NVIDIA launched mainstream entry-level graphics cards, AMD’s side is RX 6500 XT 4GB, NVIDIA’s side is RTX 3050 8GB.
Specifications, RTX 3050 adopts Ampere architecture, GA106 core, 2560 CUDA cores, 20 ray tracing units, 80 Tensor Cores, core clock 1550-1780MHz (commercially available non-public versions), with 128-bit 8GB GDDR6 Memory, the equivalent clock frequency is 14GHz, the whole card power consumption is 130W, and the floating-point computing performance is nearly 40% higher than that of the RTX 2060.
However, players should be very clear in their hearts that the suggested selling price is the suggested selling price. In fact, it is impossible to buy it at the original price. Pre-sale of the RTX 3050 graphics card has begun in the Japanese market, with a price of 50,138 yen, an increase of nearly 50%.
Of course, the price increase is expected. Another problem is the supply situation. It was previously reported that NVIDIA will increase the first batch of supply for the RTX 3050, improve the distribution strength, and even exceed the RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti.
If you can really improve the supply, at least some players can buy it, which is also an improvement.
