Nvidia's unreleased RTX 3050 Ti desktop GPU surfaces with benchmarks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

An engineering sample of Nvidia's unreleased desktop RTX 3050 Ti graphics card has surfaced, featuring leaked photos and benchmark results. This card, based on the GA106 silicon, was intended to slot between the RTX 3050 and RTX 3060. Its specifications included 3,328 CUDA cores and 6GB of GDDR6 memory, with performance benchmarks suggesting it would have been a viable alternative to the RTX 3060, though it was ultimately not released due to market conditions during the Ampere architecture's launch.
