Nvidia launches GeForce RTX 3050 GPUs for gaming laptops as low as $800

Nvidia announced that a new wave of gaming laptops starting at $800 will use its new Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 and 3050Ti graphics processing units (GPUs).

Top manufacturers are launching more than 140 laptops based on Nvidia’s 30 Series GPUs, including the two new GPUs. The RTX series chips feature real-time ray tracing for better shadows and lighting as well as AI-based deep learning super sampling (DLSS), which makes processing more efficient and speeds up frame rates.
