Previously, it was reported that Nvidia has the latest plans for the GeForceRTX3050 series product line and has notified AIC brand manufacturers. The existing 8GB video memory version will be discontinued, and then a 6GB video memory version will be launched, which is expected to arrive in January next year and go on sale. It is reported that the GeForceRTX30506GB version will be priced in the range of US$179 to US$189.
According to Bobandang, the domestic price of the GeForce RTX 30506GB version may be 1,499 yuan. With the emergence of the downgraded GeForceRTX30506GB, there is a large performance gap between it and the GeForceRTX40608GB. A new GeForceRTX40 series graphics card can be put in to meet the needs of consumers in different price ranges.
In fact, there is currently the GeForceRTX3060 series between GeForceRTX30506GB and GeForceRTX40608GB. It has been confirmed earlier that the sales period of the GeForce RTX 3060 series is at least two quarters, which means that production and supply will not be discontinued until the second quarter of 2024, and it will still be the main sales force in the first quarter of 2024. However, the GeForceRTX3060 series is not a long-term plan. It is just a short-term product that has been discontinued and cleared. It is reasonable to choose a new AdaLovelace architecture product to replace it.
Currently, Nvidia has only launched the mobile version of GeForce RTX 4050 for laptops, but there has been no news about the desktop version. It is said that Nvidia is likely to release GeForce RTX 4050 in the first quarter of 2024 to fill the vacancies in the desktop platform product line.
