GeForce RTX 3050 refuses to die as Nvidia plans fifth iteration of its 2022 budget GPU — new Ada Lovelace-powered part suggests the name could even outlive Ampere silicon

GeForce RTX 3050 graphics cards.

Even some of the best graphics cards come and go, but not the GeForce RTX 3050. The latest version of GPU-Z, a popular information and monitoring utility, shows support for an unannounced GeForce RTX 3050 A graphics card, which appears to be the fifth iteration of the original GeForce RTX 3050.

The initial signs of a GeForce RTX 3050 A appeared last year when it was listed in a PCI ID database as the GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU. Nvidia later confirmed its existence and specifications, stating that this graphics card was using the newer AD106 (Ada Lovelace) silicon instead of the original GA107 (Ampere) silicon.
