NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card will debut in a few days. This is the least extensive Ampere chip that should offer decent performance in new games in Full HD resolution and while maintaining reasonable graphics settings. Although we are talking about a low-end system, NVIDIA decided to use 8 GB of GDDR6 memory (so the same as, for example, in … GeForce RTX 3070). For this reason, many people have wondered what the issue of mining the Ethereum cryptocurrency on the upcoming graphics card will look like. The first tests published on the web show that the youngest Ampere chip will cope with this task … extremely poorly compared to other GeForce RTX 3000 cards.

According to the latest information, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card is very poor in mining Ethereum, despite the presence of 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 – There will be time to check out the performance The NDA for reviews goes down before the store debut

The first measurements of the card’s performance appeared on the network. GeForce RTX 3050 in the context of mining Ethereum, and therefore one of the most hated cryptocurrencies by players. The card initially copies with a result of nearly 20 MH / s, and after a few seconds it goes down to the level of about 12.5 MH / s. The energy consumption is then 73. W. Twitter user @wxnod also published a screen showing Ethereum mining in the mentioned tab, but using a different algorithm. In this test, the result was 13.66 MH / s with a power consumption of 57 W (thanks to far-reaching optimization m GPU working).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 – the availability of the graphics card is to be much better compared to the GeForce RTX 3060

So it looks like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 will be a very unattractive card for cryptocurrency miners. We remind you that the card uses the Ampere GA106 core with 2560 CUDA FP32 cores, 20 RT cores, 80 Tensor cores and 80 texturing units. In addition, the card has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory (14 Gbps) on a 128-bit bus. Thanks to this, the memory bandwidth reaches 288 GB / s. The base clock is 1550 MHz with the possibility of increasing in GPU Boost mode to 1780 MHz. The TDP of the card is 130 W. However, it is difficult to say what the price of the graphics card will look like even in a situation of complete lack of interest on the part of cryptocurrency miners.
