What exactly makes a graphics card a GeForce RTX 3050? Simply put, it's the name on the box.

So far, NVIDIA has released just three mobile Ampere GPUs for laptops, those being the GeForce RTX 3080, GeForce RTX 3070, and GeForce RTX 3060. Within each of those main tiers, OEMs have a million and one combinations to work with (rough estimate), leading to a dizzying array of GeForce RTX 30 mobile GPU configs...

Armed with unlimited funds, we would all opt for the fastest hardware available, cost be damned. Money does not actually grow on trees (not directly), however, hence the need for cheaper options.

I suspect that by the end of this summer, we will finally have some official clarity on what the next round of graphics cards will bring.
