Nvidia has announced the latest GPU to join its RTX 30 line of desktop GPUs as part of its CES 2022 announcements. The RTX 3050 is the company's newest entry-level GPU and it'll arrive later this month.
The RTX 3050 is touted as a huge leap in terms of performance when stacked up against the company's aging GTX 1650 graphics card. The RTX 3050 features 8GB of GDDR6 memory, and like others in the RTX 30 family, it supports DLSS and hardware-accelerated ray tracing, allowing those to experience Nvidia's RTX tech at a more affordable price point.
The announcement comes following Nvidia's competitor, AMD, which announced a new entry-level Radeon RX 6000 series, the RX 6500 XT, a $199 graphics card aimed at playing the latest titles at the highest settings with a 1080p resolution.
Nvidia is slated to release the RTX 3050 on January 27 with the retail price starting at $269.
