On the occasion of the Nvidia conference at CES 2022, we were able, as rumors might suggest, to discover two new graphics cards for desktop PCs. The RTX 3050 and the RTX 3090.
During the Nvidia conference, we were able to discover the brand new entry-level card from the manufacturer, the GeForce RTX 3050. On paper, the promises are good, since it allows Nvidia to exceed the threshold of 60 FPS under RTX. While the RTX 3060 was launched at a price of $ 329 excluding tax, the new RTX 3050 is targeting a retail price of $ 249 excluding tax. But as you know, the shortage is looming and it is very unlikely to find a card at this price. It will be recalled for all practical purposes that the RTX 3060 is for example not found below 650 euros …
The youngest from Nvidia
On the figure side, it becomes interesting for everyone since this entry-level model (at the mid-range / high-end price) embeds 2560 Computing units, 780 MHz of Boost frequency, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 interface bit and of course RTX and DLSS accounting to improve performance.
The raw power of the RTX 3090 Ti
Nvidia skilfully took advantage of the conference to formalize the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, without going into details. These will arrive during the month of January but we already know that it has 10,752 CUDA cores, 84 RT cores and 336 Tensor cores. It also benefits from a memory speed of 21 Gbit / s. The big question now concerns the price, which should, we have no doubt, be quite high.
The other announcements concern the arrival
Mobile GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti
The other announcements concern two laptop cards (for laptop PCs, therefore) with the arrival of the mobile RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti. Here is the brief description given by Nvidia:
With 16GB of the fastest GDDR6 memory ever shipped in a laptop, the RTX 3080 Ti delivers superior performance over the desktop NVIDIA TITAN RTX. RTX 3080 Ti laptops start at $ 2,499.
The new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is up to 70% faster than RTX 2070 SUPER laptops and can deliver 100 frames per second at 1440p resolution. RTX 3070 Ti laptops start at $ 1,499.
And good luck to those who hope to get their hands on one of these novelties!
