The Radeon RX 570 is the second in the line-up of AMD’s 500 series of GPUs targeting the popular mid-range market. The 500 series is based on the second generation Polaris architecture and is a minor upgrade over the 400 series. The RX 570 is around 10% faster than its predecessor, the RX 470. With 2048 cores, it is a cut down version of the RX 580 which is $30 more expensive and around 20% faster. At $130, the RX 570 offers superb value to gamers on a very tight budget. By dropping detail levels slightly below maximum the RX 570 can deliver 60 EFps in most of today’s popular games. If at all possible, we would suggest spending around $50 more for the 30% faster 8GB RX 590 which can comfortably hold 60+ EFps at 1080p with maximum details. [Nov '19GPUPro]
The RTX 3050 is built on NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture. It marks the first time that ray-tracing has been available on an entry level (50-series) card. Second generation ray tracing cores can be switched on for more realistic light simulation, albeit at a hit to performance. The 3050 features 2560 CUDA cores, a boost clock frequency of 1.78 GHz, 8 GB of the latest GDDR6 memory and NVIDIA’s DLSS. DLSS technology uses the 3050’s tensor cores to scale up resolutions whilst maintaining high frame rates and without losing significant image quality. The 3050 also includes an encoder (NVENC) for sharper images and smoother capture whilst recording/streaming. The MRSP of entry models is $249 USD, however, street prices are closer to $600 USD. Early benchmarks show that the 3050 only headlines around 50% faster than AMD's 6500 XT whilst street prices for the 3050 are over 100% higher. Many experienced users simply have no interest in buying AMD cards, regardless of price. AMD’s neanderthal marketing tactics seem to have come back to haunt them. Their brazen domination of social media platforms including youtube and reddit resulted in millions of users purchasing sub standard products. Experienced gamers know all too well that high average fps are worthless when they are accompanied with stutters, random crashes, excessive noise and a limited feature set. [Jan '22GPUPro]
