Around 20 percent slower than the 8GB version

Nvidia has officially launched the new Geforce RTX 3050 6GB graphics card. While it might sound the same as the RTX 3050 8GB launched back in January 2022, this is a completely different graphics card, based on a different chip, coming with 2GB less VRAM, and being around 20 percent slower, all for $179.

Lower TDP, same specifications

It appears that Nvidia could be working on an RTX 3050 with GA107 GPU, which will retain the same specifications but have a lower TDP.
