Budget graphics cards GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti finally showed what they are capable of
Detailed characteristics and even test results of GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti video cards have finally appeared on the Web. In this case, mobile, but desktop versions are likely to be very close to them, unlike the older Ampere cards.
So, the GeForce RTX 3050 will receive a GPU with 2048 CUDA cores, while the RTX 3050 Ti will already have 2560. In both cases, the cards will have 4 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 128-bit bus. The GPU frequencies of the junior card, depending on the TDP, will be from 1057 to 1740 MHz, and for the older one – from 1035 to 1695 MHz. The TGP value in both cases can range from 35 to 80 watts.
As for performance, as we can see, the youngest novelty performs at the level of the GeForce RTX 1660 Ti Max-Q and is 35% ahead of the GTX 1650. In turn, the RTX 3050 Ti is already on an equal footing with the RTX 2060 Max-Q or GTX 1660, not much lagging behind the RTX 2060. It is 40% ahead of its conventional predecessor.
Thus, in the lower segment, the junior mobile Ampere video cards provide a very significant performance gain. In the mobile segment, this will make gaming laptops costing about $ 1,000 much more attractive, while in the desktop segment we do not yet know the prices, and the situation with the shortage there has not gone anywhere.

Nvidia has decided to bring back a graphics card it abandoned two months ago. Rumors talk about the resumption of production of the GeForce RTX 3080 12GB
GeForce RTX 3080 with 12 GB may return to the market a few months after the end of production.
The source says that Nvidia has decided to bring this model back into service so that it can help get rid of the GA102 GPU stock faster.
The fate of the RTX 3080 with 12 GB of memory was very strange. Initially, the card was presented at the beginning of 2022 at CES 2022, then it was re-announced a week and a half later and put on sale without announcing the price, and already in June, Nvidia decided to abandon this model, stopping production. Over the past two months, the cryptocurrency market has collapsed even more, the prices of video cards have gone down, but Nvidia’s warehouses are still full, and the current generation GPU needs to be disposed of, since there is already a new one on the nose.
In terms of specs, the RTX 3080 12GB has 8960 CUDA cores and a 384-bit memory bus.

Intel graphics cards have finally made their way to the US, but are they needed at these prices? Arc A380 is asking $140
Intel Arc graphics cards are finally ready to enter the US market. The first there will be the Arc A380, which has been on sale in China for some time.
At the same time, not the Gunnir model will be available in the USA, but the product of the more familiar ASRock. Asking for such an adapter will be $ 140. To be more precise, the video card is already available for order, and deliveries are expected on August 22.
The card itself is nothing special: it is a compact solution with one fan, one HDMI port and three DisplayPorts. To work, the card requires a single eight-pin power connector.
The Arc A380 with Resizable BAR technology enabled is on average 5-10% slower than the Radeon RX 6400. In the same NewEgg store, the AMD card is sold from $140, which means it is somewhat more profitable, and it has no problems with drivers. The Radeon RX 6500 XT starts at $180 and offers another level of performance.
