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]
The NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX or the G92 that was released on March 28 of 2008 was considered to be the fastest GeForce 9 GPU before the release of the GTX 100 and GTX 200 series along with Half of the price of the 8800 GTX. It was considered to be the next king after the release of the 8800 GTX, was considered to be powerful. It's specifications is that it had a Process size of 65nm, a Transistor count of 754 Million along with a Die Size of 324mm^2. The Clock speeds were 675 MHz for the GPU, 1.688 GHz for the Shader Clock, and 1.1GB (1100 MHz) and 2.2GBps effective. It had a Length of 267mm or 10.5 In, a Width of 111mm or 4.4 In, a Height of 38mm or 1.5 In with a TDP of 140W, PSU of 300W, and an Output of 2 DVIs and 1 S-Video. It has a GDDR3 Memory @ 512 MB with a 256 bit and a 70.40 GB/s. It had 128 SU, 64 TMUs, 16 ROPs and SMs, and an L2 Cache of 64 KB. It has a Theoretical Preformance of 10.80 GPixel/s, 43.20GTexel/s, and 432.1GFLOPS.
There was another Variant that was considered to be the First and Last GTX+, which was the 9800 GTX+. For the Test on Jaindike's video, It got around 40-45 FPS on Rocket League and Counter Strike: Global Offensive, and Over 100+ FPS on Minecraft along with 90-100 in Insurgency. [Dec '205912352351]
