If rumors surrounding NVIDIA’s future releases were a drinking game, we’d all be sloshed by now. The latest comes from well-known leaker kopite7kimi. It is about a possible NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050. To date, this would be the lowest entry-level card for the GeForce RTX Ampere lineup.
RTX 3050, GA107-300, 2304FP32, 90W TGP

Breaking this down, we have a GA107 GPU with a 90 W TGP and 2,304 CUDA Cores (twice as many as the GTX 1650). No memory specs have been announced, but it is believed to have 4 GB on a 128-bit bus. Let’s take a look at the growing list of rumored cards and specs, compiled from our stories and information from VideoCardz.
Rumored GeForce RTX Cards
Card Name | GPU | CUDA Cores | Memory Size | Memory Bus | TGP |
GeForce RTX 3050 | GA-107-300 | 2304 | 4 GB (GDDR6) | 128-bit | 90W |
GeForce RTX 3050 Ti | GA-106? | 3584 | 6 GB (GDDR6) | 192-bit | ? |
GeForce RTX 3060 | GA-106 | 3840 | 6 GB (GDDR6) | 192-bit | ? |
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti | GA-104-200 | 4864 | 8 GB (GDDR6) | 256-bit | 180W |
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti | GA-102-150 | 7424 | 10 GB (GDDR6X) | 320-bit | 320W |
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti | GA-102-150 | 10496 | 20 GB (GDDR6x) | 320-bit | 320W |
NVIDIA has not made an official statement regarding these yet, but the specs seem plausible. It remains to be seen whether NVIDIA is planning more powerful RTX variants (e.g., SUPER) or something lower, like a GeForce RTX 3040/3030 or GTX.
Another option for us Plex, Emby users.
Here’s hoping for a low profile (LP) version so tiny case users have something other than the 1050ti to look at.

Yup!
Also probably a good option for laptops with DLSS and more efficient RTX voice.
Wonder if this model will have more than a paper launch?

90w… If it was 70w we could use without a PSU/pcie connector ;). My server has dual PSU’s but they plug right into motherboard and don’t have connectors. Without some soldering I’m pretty limited on what I can install in my Plex server.

I had a 1050Ti in mine for transcoding, MSI version with no power connecter. Went to my wife’s system since apparently AMD can’t make decent drivers for content creation and then found out that they [I]also[/I] don’t support Windows Server with their desktop parts, because why would anyone ever do that. Can’t even install a basic driver.
Regardless, I’m hoping for a replacement ~70w part with the latest NVENC. That was the only real problem with the half-Turing 1600-series, that only the higher-end parts got the Turing NVENC.
Nvidia could be planning an alien invasion!!!
Its just that the launch gonna take a while.
Like a 10 year infiltration….
