At the beginning of this year, Nvidia officially released the dessert card RTX 3050 in the desktop RTX 30 series, which is equipped with a GA106-150 GPU, has a 2560 CUDA core, and is equipped with 8GB 128bit GDDR6 video memory.
It is officially confirmed that the RTX 3050 will go on sale on January 27 at 10 p.m. The official price of the graphics card is $249, and the suggested retail price of the National Bank of China is from 1899 yuan.
Now it is close to the official release date, and just recently foreign media Videocardz exposed the RTX 3050's 3DMark running score.
According to the exposed pictures, in the 3DMark Time Spy Extreme test, this RTX 3050 ran a score of 3128 points, which is 24% higher than AMD's just-listed Radeon RX 6500 XT. In Time Spy Extreme, the RTX 3060 is 46% taller than the RTX 3050. According to foreign media, the performance of the RTX 3050 should be close to that of the GTX 1660 Ti, but compared to the GTX1660 Ti, the RTX 3050 has the advantage of ray tracing and DLSS support.
In addition, according to recent reports, a Peruvian retailer listed the RTX 3050 graphics card memory kit for $506 (about 3207 yuan).
This package includes The Palit RTX 3050 DUAL OC graphics card and the Geil Orion DDR4-3200 8GB of RAM are priced at $53, which means that the RTX 3050 graphics card is priced at $453 (about 2871 yuan) minus the memory.
Compared with Nvidia's RTX 3050 suggested retail price of $249 (BNP 1899 yuan), it is clear that the Price of the Palit RTX 3050 DUAL OC graphics card is much higher, almost double the price. Even if this graphics card is a customized version of the factory overclocking, the premium is still much higher.
In addition, there are third-party sellers on the foreign Newegg website who have listed MSI's RTX 3050 graphics card, with a price of up to $699. However, the outside world said that this price may only be used to occupy the position, and it will be modified after listing.
In addition, in terms of mining, according to Videocardz' news, RTX 3050 has joined the LHR algorithm limit, and the computing power will be reduced from 20MH/s to 12.5MH/s in a few seconds, which is at least 40% or even 50% performance loss than the due level.
According to the current price of ETH 2500 US dollars, if the RTX 3050 graphics card is purchased at the recommended price of 249 US dollars, then it takes 500 days to return the mining cost.
Of course, even so, it is not very promising to buy the RTX 3050 at the original price.
