Despite the extremely “cropped” configuration, the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB video card has become very popular in China. Given the discontinuation of the GTX 1650 and GTX 1050, it seems like a good budget option. NVIDIA's country partner AIB is considering increasing the price.
The recently released NVIDIA RTX 3050 6GB graphics card is becoming popular among budget consumers looking to replace or find an equivalent to GTX cards. Despite hot competition in the sub-$200 segment from the Intel Arc A580/A750 and AMD RX 6600, the graphics card has gained popularity in China as a replacement for the GTX 1650 and GTX 1050, which are very common in the country. Demand allows NVIDIA AIB partners to adjust prices and increase their own margins.
The Chinese Board Channels forums also report that NVIDIA has notified partners that it has increased the recommended price of the 3050 6GB from $195 to $210. The growth is small, but confirms its popularity. But the increased cost could give competitors like the Intel Arc A580 and Radeon RX 6600 8GB an edge.
Let's remember that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB has a GA107-325 graphics processor with 2304 processing cores, which is 10% less than the model with 8 GB of memory. The processor clock speed is 1470 MHz, which is 17% lower than the 8 GB variant. There is 6 GB of video memory on board, which operates over a 96-bit bus, compared to 8 GB 128-bit in the original model. The video card is about 20% slower than the 8 GB model. US retailers are currently selling it at a starting price of $169, but most options start at $179.
