It is unknown why NVIDIA has decided to start prep work on a new GeForce RTX 30 series graphics card while the RTX 4050 is pretty much MIA at this point with no new reports or leaks pointing out a near-future launch. It is likely that NVIDIA wants to get rid of some older and entry-level stock of its Ampere GPUs.

Coming to the specifications, the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card will feature a GA107-325-Kx GPU and will be based on the PG173 SKU 16 PCB board. We cannot determine the exact core count yet but the card does come with lower clock speeds of 1470 MHz which are 17% lower than the original GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card.

NVIDIA is expected to introduce a brand new variant of the GeForce RTX 3050 in 2024 with the Ampere GPU architecture & 6 GB memory.

I don't care if Nvidia releases a bunch of variants, but they really need to get their naming in order. It feels like they are hoping some customers will fall for a bait and switch and never realize they bought something worse than the name may suggest. 

 

Beyond their crappy naming, I guess this really just means they still have some low tier 3000 series GPUs they need to get rid of.

Why do they always wait so long to create a low end current generation card. Where's the 4050?

 

I'm still waiting for a GT1010. Lol

What's dumb is the fact that they'd even call that a 3050. Call it a 3040.

 

Nvidia, no stranger to obfuscating the products to the customers. See DDR4 vs DDR5 GT 1030's, vastly different performance. The other one is the 12GB vs 8GB 3060.
