The biggest change in the new version of RTX3050 is that the video memory has been reduced to 6GB, and its domestic price is 1,399 yuan. According to MSI’s official press release,Its RTX30506G graphics card includes Wantoshi and RTX3050LP6GOC cards, but currently JD.com only lists the Wantoshi model, which is listed at 1,399 yuan.
From the actual test, the RTX30506GB has 10% fewer CUDA cores than the 8GB version, and the running score is reduced by 20%. Of course, its power consumption is also reduced by 46%, and it is also 32% cheaper.
RTX30506GB was changed to the smallest GA107 core, numbered GA107-325, with only 2304 CUDA cores, 64 tensor cores, 16 light tracing units, 64 texture units, and only 20 ROP units retained.
The benchmark is only 1042MHz, and the maximum acceleration is only 1470MHz. The video memory has also shrunk across the board, with a bit width of only 96-bit and a capacity of only 6GBGDDR6. The equivalent frequency has not changed and is still 14GHz, but the bandwidth is only 168GB/s.
The power consumption of the entire card is significantly reduced to 70W, which is almost half, so the auxiliary power supply interface is no longer needed.
