Buying a new graphics card is an expensive and frustrating process in the year 2025. New GPUs are pricy, especially good ones, and that's if you can even find them listed for MSRP. Nvidia's solution, when it's not stealth launching new 50 series cards, is to go back to the old ways, and release yet another iteration of the 3050. And honestly? I think it's a pretty good idea.
We've been hearing rumours of a new RTX 3050 from Nvidia for about a year now, though they're unclear as to whether we're looking at a mobile or desktop GPU. Mobile was the more likely route but Tom's Hardware has spotted a new listing in GPU-Z that shows support for an as of yet announced RTX 3050, brining back those desktop speculations.
