Within the scope of CES 2022, the announcements of giant graphics card companies AMD and Nvidia continue to come one after another. After the introduction of Radeon RX 6000 series mobile graphics cards and RX 6500 XT desktop cards by AMD, Nvidia also took the stage. The American technology giant announced the GeForce RTX 3050, which is expected to be an ideal model for entry into ray-tracing technology.
The RTX 3050 will be the price/performance card for ray tracing
Although ray-tracing technology offers a visual feast, it has been very difficult to find a price / performance graphics card that can offer this technology until now. Nvidia plans to close the gap in the graphics card with ray-tracing support, which can appeal to gamers in terms of price, with the new generation graphics card GeForce RTX 3050.
Introduced within the scope of CES 2022 and aiming to offer both DLSS and RTX support to users at more affordable prices; It was introduced by comparing the FPS values of the GTX 1650, 1050 Ti and 1050 series graphics cards. At 1080p resolution, at the highest settings and in tests using the i9 processor, the RTX 3050 makes quite a difference. It is worth noting that all these values are achieved by turning on the ray-tracing technology.
The RTX 3050, which will be Nvidia’s cheapest RTX-supported graphics card on the market, will be available with a $249 tag. The graphics card, which will be the cheapest RTX at the entry level, will be $ 80 cheaper than its predecessor, the RTX 3060. The RTX 3050 comes with Nvidia’s Ampere architecture and has 8GB/GDDR6 VRAM. Nvidia also offers a third-generation Tensor core, which will support AI-powered performance technologies such as DLSS.
