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 '22 GPUPro]}

Performs the same as a RTX 3060 Ti on benchmark but that doesnt transfer to gaming, you can game at 1080p with max settings with nearly all the games i played (The exception being Cyberpunk 2077 with rtx ultra and dlss off) I have the max-p version so your version might differ but i think this card performs pretty well considering its a laptop card. If you are planning on buying a ge66, be ready for the fan noise it wont be quiet. Tests done with: i7-10870h 32GB 3200mhz DDR4 ram 1Tb nvm-e m.2 ssd RTX 3070 130W TDP -80mv undervolt on cpu iGPU off 1080p max settings Max fan RPM no thermal throttling (fluctuated around 1575mhz-2100mhz Base Clock is 1620mhz. CPU was thermal throttling at first then i undervolted it and that solved the problem) Benchmarks (Average FPS); Witcher 3 : 90 fps GTA 5: 130 fps GTA Online: 70 fps (might be because of my internet connection) Forza Horizon 4 (Steam): 100 fps Yakuza Kiwami 2 (1440p): 70 fps Minecraft RTX: 130 fps Valorant: Fluctuates between 280-300 fps on different maps Cyberpunk 2077: 50 fps (Its still very playable) ^{[Mar '21 Smol_PP]}
