NVIDIA AIB partners have finally started offering the GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card with the GA107 GPU, resulting in 15W less power consumption.<\/p>\n
A year ago, NVIDIA introduced the GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card which featured the GA106 GPU for $249 US. The graphics card was meant to offer entry-level RTX performance in a 130W package but it looks like it was originally intended to use the GA107 GPU which at the time was shipping to notebooks and NVIDIA had to reuse GA106 silicon for the time being.<\/p>\n
Now a year later, NVIDIA’s AIBs are introducing the GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card with the GA107 GPU. NVIDIA’s GA107 GPU has a smaller core than the GA106, which offers 3840 CUDA cores. There will be no reason to replace the PCB as both versions are identical pin layouts, allowing for both to be compatible.<\/p>\n
