Today’s test system is the XMG Core 17, a neat 17-inch gaming laptop with a focus on functionality and performance. This makes it crucially important to check the power specifications of any laptop you’re buying, as 80W models won’t come close to 35W models in performance, and unfortunately Nvidia is using the same name for both. Nvidia is also trying to cater to both regular gaming laptops, and ultraportable systems, with the RTX 3050 Ti’s large power range including 35W models that previously would have been branded as “Max-Q.” Basically the 3050 Ti is designed to be two thirds of an RTX 3060 in its SM count and VRAM capacity. There’s also just 4GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, clocked at 12 Gbps. Clock speeds up to 1695 MHz boost at 80W, or as low as 1035 MHz for the 35W configuration, giving us quite a wide power range of 35 to 80W. But as usual, when the RTX 3050 Ti launches on desktop, it will likely perform differently to the laptop part with the same name.īasic specifications comprise 20 SMs for a total of 2560 CUDA cores, 20 RT cores and 80 Tensor cores. The RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU is based on new GA107 silicon, which has yet to reach the desktop market. It’s a bit hard to compare generations right now, but that should be a rough guide to where Nvidia are positioning this GPU. However these pricing targets are a bit optimistic, most realistic 3050 Ti system configurations are above $1,000, though still $100-200 less than the exact same model with the RTX 3060 inside. This would match the baseline prices of GTX 1660 Ti systems from previous generations. Nvidia originally listed the RTX 3060 as destined for $1,000 laptops, with the RTX 3050 at $800 and presumably the RTX 3050 Ti sitting somewhere in between. The RTX 3050 Ti was announced alongside the RTX 3050 for laptops a couple of months ago, but with ongoing supply constraints, it's taken us a bit longer to get samples in hand.Īt the moment, pricing seems to be all over the place for laptops. The latter in particular should bring a nice boost for this popular segment. With the graduation from GTX to an RTX product, this means we're set to gain ray tracing and DLSS features. The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti is a mainstream GPU for gaming laptops, sitting below the RTX 3060 in the product stack, and offering us a follow up to last year’s GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1650 for laptops.
