Unannounced Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU appears on Asus website

Nvidia may be preparing to launch a new GPU RTX 3050 Ti, according to a leak from laptop maker Asus. VideoCardz reports that Asus has published updated specifications for its latest TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop and mentions an unreleased Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPU.

The numbering scheme suggests that Nvidia may be about to launch a fourth Series 30 laptop GPU to join the existing RTX 3060, RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 cards. The Asus website mentions that the card has 4 GB of memory, but the company did not include any more details about clock speed etc. The RTX 3050 Ti is rumored to be an entry-level option, with a 128-bit memory bus and 60W TGP.

The list of Asus TUF Dash F15 laptops.

The launch of Nvidia’s RTX 30 series laptop GPUs was also a bit confusing. Nvidia is no longer adding “Max-Q” labels to the weaker, more energy-efficient variants of its laptop GPUs, and it is more difficult to say exactly which GPU you are buying. Nvidia started demanding that laptop manufacturers be more transparent about the specifications of the RTX 30 series, but Max-Q’s previous brand made it much easier to work on a laptop’s GPU performance without having to know its specific clock speeds. .

We contacted Nvidia and Asus to comment on the appearance of the RTX 3050 Ti and will update it accordingly.
