Palit GeForce RTX 3050

NVIDIA has now added an entry-level to mainstream model performance graphics card series to its 3000 Series lineup, meet the GeForce RTX 3050. Disobedient to AMD's dramatic 200 USD Radeon RX 6500 XT with 4GB/64-bit graphics memory, 1024 shader processors tied to x4 PCIe lanes; the GeForce RTX 3050 is 50 bucks more expensive (MSRP) based on 8GB/128-bit and 2560 shader processors utilizing x8 PCIe lanes. The math immediately becomes visible, NVIDIA will win significantly today. With that 2560 shading cores and Ampere architecture, this 3050 series is bound to impress in the 1920x1080 and maybe even 2560x1440 (WQHD) domain. If stock becomes available in plentiful volumes though, as pricing will be everything. The GPU is again fabricated on an 8nm node derived from Samsung. This process further develops Samsung's 10nm process; no EUV is applied in production just yet. Notable is that a change is in effect, the memory runs at 14 Gbps and finally, entry-level receives 8GB GDDR6. The Ampere lineup nearly doubles ray-tracing performance with Gen2 ray-tracing cores and 3rd iteration Tensor cores. These cards will all be PCIe 4.0 interface compatible and offer HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a, but most importantly is that nicer shader processor count (referred to as CUDA cores by NVIDIA). We now meet the NVIDIA GA106 GPU. And despite being a lower segmented card, it still holds a sizable GPU die. In this round, NVIDIA is not seeding Founder edition cards, aka FE GeForce RTX 3050. But of course, they do present the reference specification; a boost clock of 1777 MHz and a base clock of 1552 MHz.

Sie suchen eine sparsame, lautlose Grafikkarte, die ohne zusätzlichen Stromstecker auskommt? Ihre Suche ist vorbei. Die neue Geforce RTX 3050 6GB schlägt sich im PCGH-Härtetest besser als erwartet - obwohl sie im Kern uralt und stark beschnitten ist.

Averaged over our whole game test suite at 1080p resolution we find the RTX 3050 beating the GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Ti. The card is also considerably faster than the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT and Radeon RX 5500 XT. The gen-over-gen improvement is 25% (compared to GTX 1650). Last generation's GeForce RTX 2060 is 13% faster, just like the aging Vega 64 and RX 5600 XT. Current-generation products that could be considered a step up in performance are the GeForce RTX 3060 (+36%) and Radeon RX 6600 (+30%). Palit has given their card a small factory overclock, up to 1807 MHz rated boost from the NVIDIA reference clock of 1777 MHz—1.6%. In real-life performance that turns into a 1% increase, not something you'd notice in every day usage.
