NVIDIA is now rumored to launch its entry-level Ampere graphics card, the GeForce RTX 3050, on 27th January after unveiling it at CES 2022. The new graphics card will be aimed in the sub $300 US segment which will see some heated competition between the three GPU makers in the first half of 2022.

While the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Ti) for laptops rocks the Ampere GA107 GPU core, the RTX 3050 for desktops is said to feature the Ampere GA106 GPU core. Previously, there have been a series of reports that the RTX 3050 series would include two variants, a Ti and a non-Ti part. The non-TI part was expected to feature the GA107 GPU while the Ti SKU was expected to feature a GA106 GPU configuration. However, the latest report suggested that even the Non-Ti variant will feature a GA106 GPU which means it should end up with much higher performance than the Ti variant for laptops.
