Ampere Is Back, Baby, and Now, 2026 Gamers Can Play Games on an RTX 3050 6 GB/RTX 3060 12 GB, Which Launched Four Years Ago

It’s time to part like it’s 1999, err 2022, as an overseas seller has announced its brought back the RTX 3050 and RTX 3060. Per VideoCardz, both models from Manli are now available, but only the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Nebula Twin and Single are showing on its store page; this could just be due to the manufacturer needing to update its site. The news of these releases follows rumors that Ampere could make a comeback this year as the rampocalypse continues to wreak havoc with the availability of various PC components, and so far, no real new GPU releases for 2026 (sorry, AMD, but the GRE doesn’t really count as far as most gamers are concerned). It has recently been rumored that NVIDIA may at last release its RTX 50 series “SUPER” refresh between now and the next catastrophe, but nothing official has been announced.

Meanwhile, Manli has you covered with its latest Ampere revivals, but one does have to wonder how relevant 6 GB VRAM is in 2026, and while the RTX 3050 GPU is capable of using NVIDIA’s DLSS, it is questionable how it would otherwise compare to modern integrated graphics solutions from AMD, Intel, and the upcoming NVIDIA Spark. Regardless, a pro for the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Nebula Twin is that it is a card made for small form factor builds, as is the Single version, and both can be powered exclusively via PCI Express ports due to their 70W TDP. Pricing has not been revealed but they are expected to begin shipping in July. It remains to be seen if NVIDIA’s other partners will begin offering Ampere graphics cards again.
