RTX 3050 Specs

Nvidia has announced GeForce RTX 3050 GPU at a very affordable price, making it the most affordable RTX GPU to date. This is because, as Matt Wuebbling, Nvidia’s VP of global GeForce marketing says, 75 percent of customers are still using the company’s old GTX platform. By announcing the GeForce RTX 3050 GPU and cutting down the price, the company wants gamers to go for an upgraded and better Nvidia GPU for less price.

GeForce RTX 3050 graphics cards come equipped with 2nd generation RT Cores for ray tracing and 3rd gen Tensor Cores for DLSS and AI.

With the GeForce RTX 3050, you also get many other benefits and features. That includes NVIDIA Reflex to minimize your system latency in games, the NVIDIA Broadcast app for AI-powered voice and video, NVIDIA Encoder for great streaming, NVIDIA Studio to accelerate and enhance creative applications, Nvidia’s reliable Game Ready Drivers and Studio Drivers, and more.

NVIDIA announced that RTX 3050 will be available starting January 27 with a suggested retail price of 249 USD.
