Nvidia's 'new' budget gaming GPU has 12GB VRAM, arrives in June, according to leak
A leak suggests Nvidia is planning to relaunch the GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card in June, potentially manufactured by Samsung to keep costs down. This move aims to address the budget graphics card market, offering 12GB of VRAM which is more than current-generation RTX 5060 and RTX 5050 models. The leak also indicates a delay or cancellation for a new 9GB RTX 5050 variant.
Nvidia's next hardware launch for us gamers could be an RTX 5050 with a whopping 1 GB of extra VRAM
Leaked information suggests Nvidia will release an RTX 5050 graphics card with 9 GB of GDDR7 VRAM later this year, potentially using 3 GB memory modules. This configuration, with a reduced 96-bit bus width, is seen by some as a missed opportunity for a higher VRAM capacity, especially given the availability of GDDR7 technology. The article also touches on the lack of expected 'Super' refresh models for the RTX 50-series.
