There could be a new budget GPU coming in the near future: the RTX 3050 Ti. The card could be joining Nvidia's RTX 3000 range in the future, slotting under the RTX 3060 in terms of price and performance. The card has been spotted as an option on the specs of an Asus gaming laptop by leaker Momomo_us. Geekbench scores for the GPU, running in a Samsung laptop, have been discovered too, with some pretty impressive performance over Nvidia's budget 16-series cards. There have also been sightings of a non-Ti variant.
With the previous Turing generation of graphics cards, the RTX lineup only went as low as a 2060, so this would be the first 50-named Nvidia card since the GTX 1650 and 1650 Super, and the very first to have hardware-accelerated ray tracing capabilities. The RTX 3060 is currently the cheapest Ampere card available, although when considering price to performance, the RTX 3060 Ti is still the best graphics card for a budget PC build. Not that you can actually get either one now thanks to scalpers.
As it looks like there could be a desktop variant of the 3050 Ti too - it was already spotted along with a non-Ti variant on the specs sheet for a prebuilt Lenovo gaming PC back in January - could the budget crown be taken from the 3060 Ti with this new card?
