The graphics card maker, Palit, has submitted several upcoming graphics cards from the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series, which include the RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3050 Ti, RTX 3060 and RTX 3050. All of these graphics cards are expected to be released in the coming months, but new information regarding the delayed nature of the RTX 3080 Ti graphics card has also appeared in the rumor mill.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3050 Ti, RTX 3060 & RTX 3050 Graphics cards at hand, submitted to the EEC by PALIT
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the only graphics card in the submitted list that was confirmed before the launch of the GeForce RTX 30 series. This graphics card has been abandoned, reused and then delayed according to the rumor mill. It seems that the latest rumors suggest that NVIDIA will launch the card sometime in January, but this is no longer the case, as at CES, the company has only confirmed the GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB model.
It was later suggested that the card be launched in February, but this also appears to be no longer the case. Although the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti could possibly launch, we do not have an exact date for this card. This may be due to a shortage of DRAM and NVIDIA focusing on getting the existing 30-series cards better than offering more premium SKUs.
With that said, Videocardz has noticed several NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series cards that have not been released, including the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, GeForce RTX 3060 6 GB and GeForce RTX 3050 over at EEG. The submission was made by PALIT for its upcoming series. The complete list of the cards can be seen in the table below:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti ‘Rumored’ graphics card specifications
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FE (Founders Edition) graphics card is expected to feature the PG133-SKU15 PCB design and the GA102-250-KD-A1 graphics core. The GA102-250 GPU has also changed since we last saw it and is now exactly the same as the GeForce RTX 3090 at 10496 FP32 CUDA core.
In terms of memory, the card will contain 20 GB of GDDR6X memory. In contrast to the 19.5 Gbps speeds of the RTX 3090, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is said to maintain the same memory speeds as the RTX 3080 at 19 Gbps. Since we get a 20 GB bus interface, NVIDIA will use a 320-bit bus interface equal to a total bandwidth of 760 GB / s. The TGP for the card is the same as the RTX 3080 at 320 Watts. It is definitely necessary to feed the extra cores, so NVIDIA may need to optimize the clocks here.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 ‘Rumors’ Graphics Card Specifications
The GeForce RTX 3060 is proposed to contain the GA106-300 GPU, which is expected to contain 3584 FP32 cores in a total of 28 SM units. The graphics card uses the PG190 SKU through board partners, which is both GA104 and GA106 pin compatible. Both 12 GB and 6 GB variants probably have the same 15 Gbps DRAM specifications for a combined bandwidth of 360.0 GB / s.
Since the 12 GB variant starts at $ 329 US, the 6 GB variant is expected to be at $ 279 US.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti ‘Rumors’ Graphics Card Specifications
Like the GeForce RTX 3060, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti will also feature the GA106 GPU, but a cut-off configuration. The card is expected to be based on the PG190 SKU (stock) board which will be different from the 60 variant that the RTX 3060 will use. The GPU is expected to have 3072 FP32 cores in a total of 24 SM units.
The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti will surprisingly also feature a 6 GB GDDR6 memory interface, which is a major upgrade over its 4 GB predecessors. This indicates a 192-bit bus interface and we can also expect similar bandwidth numbers from the card if it eventually uses 15 Gbps memory lapses. The card is expected to have a price point of about $ 200 US.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 ‘Rumored’ graphics card specifications
It is suggested that the GeForce RTX 3050 contains the GA107-300 GPU, which is apparently the most entry-level Ampere GPU at this time in graphics cards. Only time will tell if we will see something even lower like the GA108 GPU, but the RTX 3050 leaves little room for that. The card is expected to contain 2304 FP32 cores in a total of 18 SM units and is proposed to contain a 90W TGP.

This will mean that the GeForce RTX 3050 needs an external 6-pin connector to get started, unlike its predecessor, the GeForce GTX 1650, which meets a 75W TGP and requires no plug to start in several custom variants not. The GeForce RTX 3050 should contain a 128-bit bus interface and up to 4 GB of GDDR6 memory. We’ll probably see 14 Gbps on the map, but that has yet to be confirmed. In terms of pricing, the GeForce RTX 3050 is expected to carry a price tag of less than $ 200 US dollars.

These are again rumor specs and may change, given the way NVIDIA is reacting to the upcoming announcements of AMD RDNA 2 ‘Radeon RX 6000’. The AMD Radeon RX 6700 series graphics cards are also planned for a Q1 2021 launch and we already know what they will look like and the specifications they will offer.
