Nvidia’s new RTX 2050 laptop GPU can power affordable laptops

The upcoming RTX 2050 from Nvidia Laptop GPUs don’t really look “new” to the company GPU RTX 3050 and 3050 Ti launched For laptops earlier this year (via video cards) But Nvidia is clearly not ready to retire 20-series GPUs just yet — Nvidia says the RTX 2050 will be available on laptops starting in the spring of 2022.

The RTX 2050 isn’t just a piece of old hardware brought back from the dead. Unlike other 20-series chipsets, the RTX 2050 is based on the Ampere GA107 architecture, not the Turing. Ampere is the same architecture that powers the RTX 3050 (and all other 30 series cards), and encapsulating it inside a 20 series card could provide some of the same ray tracing improvements for a cheaper price. The RTX 2050 comes with the same 2048 CUDA cores and 4GB of GDDR6 memory as the RTX 3050. However, it offers a 64-bit memory bus when compared to the 128-bit RTX 3050, which can result in slightly lower performance.

Although Nvidia is likely to release a GPU that does not belong to the latest and greatest 30-series GPU due to the ongoing shortage of chipsets, this change may also come as a way to offer a compromise between the RTX 3050 and the RTX 1650. A mid-range GPU that offers better performance than RTX 1650 but still affordable compared to hardware with the RTX 3050.

In addition to the RTX 2050, Nvidia has also announced chips for its MX550 and MX570 laptops, but the company hasn’t given many details about their specifications. Nvidia vaguely mentions “more CUDA cores” and “faster memory speeds,” with no confirmed numbers to support it yet. All this happens after about two weeks of Nvidia New version of RTX 2060 released -that was Originally released in 2019 It offers an upgrade of 12GB of video RAM compared to the 6GB of video RAM that comes with the standard model.
