Nvidia Launches GeForce RTX 3050 6GB for Budget 1080p Gaming

The new GPU model offers a more affordable option for gamers, with reduced memory and processing power to lower costs.

Nvidia introduces the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB GPU, a budget-friendly option for 1080p gaming, priced at $169.
The new GPU model features reduced VRAM and CUDA cores compared to the original RTX 3050 8GB, aiming to offer a cost-effective upgrade for users of older GPUs.
Despite the compromises in memory and processing power, the RTX 3050 6GB supports RTX Ray Tracing and AI computing, enhancing gaming experiences.
The RTX 3050 6GB can be powered directly by the PCIe slot, eliminating the need for an external power connector and facilitating easier upgrades.
Critics argue that the performance compromises might not justify the lower price, especially with competitive options available in the market.
