Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3050, GeForce RTX 3050 Ti gaming GPUs launched, know features

Nvidia is expanding its GeForce RTX 30 series to a new category of gaming laptops. Especially for those buyers who like to think about the price. For this, Nvidia has launched the latest GPUs of new GeForce RTX 3050 and GeForce RTX 3050 Ti in the market. These GPUs will be used for laptops priced at $700 (approximately Rs 60,000, without taxes and duties). This will bring high quality ray-tracing effects and DLSS (Deep Learning Supersampling) to the laptop which will make the resolution much better using artificial intelligence. These GPUs, designed keeping specific gaming laptops in mind, will be used in slim and light laptops. According to Nvidia, the arrival of DLSS technology will prove to be a game changer for this market. It will be able to provide a consistent 60fps gaming experience in some of the best games like Control, Watchdogs: Legion, Outriders, Minecraft, and CoD: Black Ops Cold War etc.

Like the GeForce RTX 30 series used in other laptops and mobiles, the new RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti based on Ampere architecture will soon be seen in entry-level laptops in the market where the GeForce GTX 16 series is currently popular. Many brands like Alienware, Razer, MSI, Lenovo, Asus, Dell, Acer, HP and Gigabyte as well as small boutique OEMs are also expected to announce their refreshed models soon. Their launch is coinciding with Intel's 11th Gen 'Tiger Lake' CPU.

The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti has 2,560 execution units called CUDA cores and 80 Tensor cores deployed in 20 “streaming multiprocessor” (SM) clusters. Whereas RTX 3050 has 2,048 CUDA cores and 64 Tensor cores installed in 16 SM. Both come with 4GB of GDDR6 RAM on the 128-bit bus.
The TDP range can be configured by the laptop OEM between 35W and 80W, which will vary from model to model. This will also affect the operating frequency range. Both of these GPUs are listed with boost clock speed ranges of 1035 1695MHz and 1,057 1,740MHz respectively.

Apart from gaming laptops, these two GPUs will also be seen in entry level and portable creator laptops. Nvidia says that with the help of DLSS acceleration, artists can now visualize designs in real time instead of waiting for long renders. Video editors can now work on 8K raw footage as well. For e-sports competitors, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti is claimed to deliver 144fps and sub-25ms latency in games like Overwatch and Valorant. Apart from this, Nvidia also has other features like AI powered noise and background removal which give benefits in streaming and video conferencing software.
