Even some of the best graphics cards come and go, but not the GeForce RTX 3050. The latest version of GPU-Z, a popular information and monitoring utility, shows support for an unannounced GeForce RTX 3050 A graphics card, which appears to be the fifth iteration of the original GeForce RTX 3050.
The initial signs of a GeForce RTX 3050 A appeared last year when it was listed in a PCI ID database as the GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU. Nvidia later confirmed its existence and specifications, stating that this graphics card was using the newer AD106 (Ada Lovelace) silicon instead of the original GA107 (Ampere) silicon.
The changelog of GPU-Z indicates support for a GeForce RTX 3050 A. There’s no word on whether this is a mobile chip, so there’s a possibility it could be a desktop graphics card.

There are already four versions of the GeForce RTX 3050 available. The GeForce RTX 3050 4GB (GA107) and 8GB (GA106) launched in 2022, with the 8GB (GA107) model arriving later that year. The now-second-newest version was released last year as the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB. As a result, the GeForce RTX 3050 A would be the fifth variation to wear the GeForce RTX 3050 name.
