NVIDIA to Address the Budget Gaming Market With RTX 3060 12 GB as RTX 5050 9 GB Is Pushed Back

NVIDIA is reportedly delaying the RTX 5050 9 GB refresh and may use the older RTX 3060 12 GB to cover low-cost gaming demand.

If true, June’s entry-level GPU market could lean on an older Ampere card instead of a newer budget launch.

That could affect pricing and availability in the sub-$200 segment, drawing attention from value-focused gamers.
