Question Will Nvidia 3050 launch this year?

[mohit9206]

Hopefully around $150 and maybe as fast as 1660? But most importantly i hope it has 6GB of memory.

I think this year might be slightly optimistic - unlikely to start with that and it always takes them a little while to roll out the entire stack from top to bottom.

As for speed/pricing, well goodness knows 🙂

They traditionally launch the x070/x080 first, then the x060, and then the x050. I would say there's a good chance we won't even see the 3060 this year, and the 3050 comes after that.

I'd bet on no as far as seeing it this year, performance wise I'd expect it to be more in the 2060 range than the 1660.

Probably looking at Q2 2021 for the 3050, Q1 for the 3060. Anything less than 6GB at the low end would be deeply unsatisfying to me.

Well they did launch Maxwell with the 750 Ti, but I don't see the low end stuff coming so soon this upcoming gpu gen either.

No, 3050 will not launch this year.

Neither entry level, next gen product from both vendors will launch this year.

AMD will refresh, however, RDNA1 GPUs with lower prices, below RDNA2 product stack, till RDNA2 based mainstream GPU will appear.. Im not sure we can expect anything around 150$ price tag, however.

They did, but it was not the same Maxwell that was used for the higher end cards.

But I agree with the others. Lower end cards for both AMD and nVidia will be next year.

Who knows if we will even get a 3050, given that we technically never actually got a 2050.

If the implication in the OP comment is what I think it is, it's that NV pushes RTX functionality all the way to the bottom of it's stack and all of its products become RTRT compatible (even if they are not especially performant).

If budget Ampere cards will not come this year then Turing will remain the only option this year and 5500XT 8gb which is still overpriced compared to RX580.
