An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card with a GA106 and GA107 GPU configuration will keep the same specs as current models and AIBs will have no problem migrating to the all-new chip as both the GA107 and GA106 GPU are pin compatible so the PCBs won’t be new. wanted. However, while the specifications remain the same, there is one fundamental change that can be expected in the new model.

A custom model from MSI’s NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 features an Ampere GA106-150 GPU.

It is reported that the GeForce RTX 3050, and in particular the GA107 GPU variant, will have a TBP of 115 Watts compared to the 130W TBP of the GA106 variant. This is possible thanks to the more efficient architecture of the GA107 GPU which is mainly aimed at the mobility sector and access to the desktop sector.

It is also stated that the GA106 GPU should provide better overclocking since the maximum power is rated at around 150W while the GA107 GPU is rated at a maximum of 130-140W although this has not yet been confirmed and may allow NVIDIA for AIB unlocks the GA107 GPU to the same power limit as the GA106 GPU. Do note that the RTX 3050 is also rumor For a shorter-spec 4GB model on the GA107 GPU.

It is also stated that having a graphics card on both the GA106 and GA107 GPUs will mean that NVIDIA could offer an oversupply of RTX 3050 flagship cards to gamers and could also lead to an eventual price drop from their current inflated €400/400 price tag. There will be no clear indication of a graphics card featuring a GA107 or GA106 GPU unless mentioned by the manufacturers in their retail packages.
