A couple of days after Nvidia officially announced the GTX 1050 with 3B of video memory (2GB on the previous model), Gigabyte reveals its first graphics card based on this variant, the GTX 1050 OC 3GB.
Gigabyte announces its own GTX 1050 OC card with 3GB VRAM
In addition to all of these hardware upgrades, this graphics card offers reduced memory bandwidth, sacrificing a quarter of the bus to provide users with the much-desired 3 GB of VRAM.
Nvidia has decided to use denser GDDR5 memory with twice the capacity per chip than existing GTX 1050 graphics cards, which has forced them to reduce performance by layering the memory bus down to 96 bits, in this case, so as not to harm to the GTX 1050 Ti.
Nvidia's 2GB GTX 1050 is in a 'weird' place in the graphics card market, offering consumers a ton of benefits while offering some notable drawbacks. We are entering an era in which 2 GB of VRAM is becoming too scarce even for low-end graphics cards in modern games, so the launch of this new model with more memory does not take us by surprise.
While this increase in the amount of video memory on the GTX 1050 OC 3GB is appreciated, it also comes with a 25% reduction in bandwidth, which could harm it under certain scenarios.
GBAt the moment, we do not know what its price and release date will be.
