It looks like Nvidia has three cheaper Ampere GPUs up its sleeve in the form of the RTX 3050, RTX 3050 Ti, and RTX 3060.
All three GPUs have been featured in a Lenovo Legion Platform Specs Roundup, spotted by Videocardz, detailing the company’s upcoming Legion R5 28IMB05 gaming PC.
Among the GPUs on offer is the Nvidia RTX 3050, which looks set to become the cheapest graphics card in the RTX 30 range with 2,304 CUDA cores and up to 4GB of GDDR6 memory.
The so-called Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti will feature 3,584 CUDA cores and 6GB of memory, according to Videocardz, while the long-rumored Nvidia RTX 3060 will pack 3,840 CUDA cores and 12GB RAM – more than the RTX 3060 Ti, strangely enough. .
Videocardz suggests that the decision to include 12GB of VRAM was dictated by AMD’s upcoming Radeon RX 6700 series, which was expected to feature such memory capacity.
The report also suggests that both the RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3060 will be based on the GA106 GPU, while the cheaper RTX 3050 will have a GA107 GPU.
The leak doesn’t tell us much more about the alleged incoming graphics cards, but Nvidia is expected to have new GPUs later this month, likely during its special GeForce streaming event on January 12 during CES 2021.
According to rumors, the virtual conference could also see Nvidia launch mobile versions of its RTX 3080, RTX 3070, and RTX 3060 graphics cards, with these new mobile GPUs set to appear in high-end gaming laptops from early 2021.
