A report from the Board Channels forum leaked details of a completely unexpected move by Nvidia related to the GeForce RTX 3050. The report unveils that Nvidia will cancel the RTX 3050 8GB outright in favor of a lower-capacity 6GB variant.
Typically, Nvidia will replace an outgoing GPU with a slightly more powerful one if it plans to discontinue the previous product (like the RTX 2070). Or it will build a lower-end variant of an outgoing model that will co-exist with its more performant sibling (like the GTX 1060 3GB and RTX 3060 8GB).
