After having spent a week with this card i feel like it really is the best value for my needs. I like running fps like apex legends and it’s a smooth experience with barely any hiccups. I can definitely feel the enthusiast turn their nose up to this card, especially considering the market and general scummy nature of big corporations, but as someone who is more casually invested in gaming i couldn’t ask for more. There is some serious FOMO that surrounds tech that people become susceptible to but i feel like we’re slowing down in terms of graphical quality. Every gen shows improvement but the bells n whistles feel less and less awe inspiring and more like snake oil. Only downside is i wish i paid less LOL
Agreed! From a pure fps standpoint for sub 4K gaming, this card is great. It’s only when you want to throw more graphical quality and Ray tracing into the mix that you’d ever honestly need any more.
Agreed ! As a casual gamer, this card is great especially with DLSS in 1440p. Most games I run on med-high settings to get the best fps. Warzone I get between 90-135 fps in 1440p dlss quality mode.
the guy in the video is just a snatch that want you to buy expansive bs i just wonder how he can tell people wron information without anyone say andything ?!?!? he told 1080p = 76 fps ... i got 120fps on 68 degrees ...
Didn't really have a choice but to get the 3050 at a cheaper price. Pricing for the AMD cards is completely messed up where I'm from. Don't regret the purchase though. The card is not as bad a people make it out to be.
I was lucky to find one for $249 at my local microcenter!! I game at 1080p 27in w/ 144hrz and the card is GOOD! I replaced my 5600XT due to AMD update issues. I'm getting around 135-150fps in apex ( high settings). I'm getting 120fps in WZ on high settings. This is my first Nvidia card and I can't complain, my AMD card had Random issues after monthly updates. Nvidia hasn't been a issue in the last 3 months.
I got it for 249$ also, 1660 Super is 20$ cheaper and 2060 is 20$ more expensive, should i get the 2060? My opinion is : 20% lower watt and 20% lower performance than 2060 , also the 8gb vram should be future proof as 4gb card from 2015 still useable with the help of FSR AV1 encoder also will help with the cpu and save power Other than that it seems the ampere arc, new tensor core gen does not bring anything to the table as performance is weaker than 2060
I love my 3050 ... Sure I paid a little more for it but the fact that I use it way more than my 3060ti speaks volumes. This card kicks ass and even runs some titles in VR ! Great entry level card to get you going good in PC Gaming.
Hahaha, I’m no stranger to multiple devices. In my office I have my gaming consoles and 65” tv about 15 feet away from my 55” TV and PC. Beside that setup I have a MacBook Air with a 34” ultra wide and an iPad Pro 11” with Magic keyboard, then another 2021 14” MacBook Pro beside my couch… Then two 14 Pro Max in my pocket at all times 😂😂
Picked up one of these a few days ago for some amateur AI work. Overall I’m happy with it, though I think $250-300 US would be fairer (it’ll probably reach that later this year).
I completely agree. It honestly worked pretty well for the Adobe suite as well and will be a very capable GPU for a lot of people, especially as prices continue to fall
I just bought this gpu last 2 days ago, Coz I can't find rx 6600. The seller suggested this one and after looking at feedbacks online, 3050 is not good for them compared to 6600 of amd. I'm worried if there's something special with msi gaming x series coz it costs 263$ and rx 6600's srp here in Philippines is 229$. pls help 😭😭😭
Msi prices are always a bit higher on cards due to the R&D behind cooling and potential factory OC when compared to reference cards. I wouldn’t say there’s anything “special” as much as nvidia cards tend to have a higher price tag compared to AMD thanks to more application performance and currency mining efficiency

Still have the two other cards… wanna keep the 3050 for a back up… Iam giving it one one day then changing it out for the 6700xt tommorrow… apparently the 6700xt is on another level.. like can do 4K in some cases especially with fsr 2.0. Mine looks just like your 3050.it’s the Msi mech 2 oc version with that same backplate.. anyway since your video droped Iv been playing with the 3050 and Iv been surprised how often I left raytracing on in some games at 1080p.. still hitting 60 fps… which Iam gaming in on a tv so that’s my max hz. So like raytracing Iv found is definitely usable.. two titles that come to mind are resident evil 2 remake and control. I have a feeling that even though the 6700xt will trump my 3050 I think raytracing will be more useable on the nvidia card… it’s weird to me that every one says raytracing sucks on this car when like I said Iv found that it’s definitely usable in a 60fps cap.

But now it is time to put my monster card in the side and get sometime shiny and new! you think this card is good ? it cost 400 euros in my country
I have been using my 3050 for about 3 months now. If you can settle with crisp 1080p med/high settings mix on AAA titles, this card will deliver. Now I do have the Gigabyte OC version, but I am really impressed with the 3050. As for the RTX, not why I got the card, but it is a cool feature to have on some games. I keep it off most the time though unless just showing off to a friend or something lol. I feel it costs a little more than it should, but I personally didn't feel any buyers remorse.
Depends on the cost gap between this and a 3060 in your market. If this is $100-150 less than a 3060 than yes. If the price gap is less than $100 between this and a 3060, I’d save for the 3060
@@qwazyd0gg Thank you so much i enjoy your videos so much and i got it for 300 and the 3060’s being over 130 to 200 difference. Your videos helped me pick the right graphic card and i’ll tell you how it runs it arrives in 2 days!
Going from a fx6300 @4.3ghz, 8gb ram, msi rx 480 gaming x 8gb to a Ryzen 5 5500, 16gb ram and msi rtx 3050 gaming x 8gb. Now I’ll be looking at the 3060. Prices in Brazil are sky high.
I got my 3050 and I love it.. Now I did get it for 250ish Dollars brand new and upgraded from a 1650s sooo! it was a Win for me and my situation. It was my very first build from the ground up and I wanted something cheapish with the VRAM and options available for next gen gaming, But also to run cool and fast with my other components.. I play @ 1080p with a MSI monitor that has a 165 rr, AMD R5 5600x, B560 motherboard, 16 gbs of G skill ram, TT smart 600 watt power supply and a really nice Cooler. It's been nothing but fantastic for me :3 Also like as little heat as possible, being used to a 1650s and all. eventually Ill upgrade again :) it's addicting, so I don't see it as money wasted if I do upgrade to a 3060/Above soon.. Having spare parts and building other PC's to get my friends into PC gaming is a fun idea, it's just addicting now and I wouldn't want any other Hobby than this..
PCs are crazy addictive! For 1080P, the 3050 is honestly perfect, especially for the price. The addition of all the current Gen features packed into this card will keep it current for the next foreseeable future providing you don’t need more resolution anytime soon. I recently upgraded to a 3080 I got for a killer deal, but only because I was targeting 4K.
@@qwazyd0gg Honestly this Video is why I purchased that Card.. Completely honest and Transparent with your review and It sold me, I knew it was enough for my build and needs atm. They really are addicting lol, I know Ill be joining you in the hunt for a 4k build, sooner than later. I already catch myself looking at new Cases, researching what CPU's pair well with which GPU's and Motherboards and what will look even better than what I have now..
i have it, all i play really is rdr2, it's great, ultra texture and lighting with everything else set to high, with dlss performance, and it never goes below 56 fps, well it was a amazing upgrade from the 1650, IMO, I'd say if you're upgrading anything that is a 1650 super or lower, go for this card, while a new pc build go with rtx 3060, but if you really really want the cheapest 30 series rtx card then go for it, i would highly recommend spending a little more if you can on a 3060, 7/10
I'm happy to see that gpu's are back to a decent price range, scalpers finally decided to let us buy them. looking to get a 3050 in couple months. Currently using 1050ti low profile, its been good but its a bit dated.
I think they’re still well worth it, especially if you can find one cheap, discounted, or on sale due to the 40 series being out and again recently refreshed
Sorry for the late response. I have since cycled back out to my 3060; however, even during heavy usage during testing I could not hear the card over my case fans, and they themselves are not loud either.
It will be a great 1080p card with the ultra preset for 120fps gaming. Switching to competitive low settings with epic draw distance will push around 240fps. 1440p will hover around 90-100 with ultra preset, or 150-160 with competitive graphics settings. Surprisingly it can even pull decent frames around 100fps in competitive settings in 4K, but will not be enjoyable at 4k high.
So rn I'm running an r5 3600x with a single fan 1660 Super. I WAS heavily considering the 3050. I'm running a 2 PC setup for streaming BR titles mainly. Im looking for something to increase fps in my primary, which will allow me to move my 1660s over to my secondary which is currently a 1050ti. I'm wondering if the FPS increase would be worth it from a 1660 super. If so it would be awesome, priced at 300 USD and i can keep my 500w psu. OTHERWISE, I'd go 3060 with a new PSU, but since that costs more, it means I'd be waiting until next tax season likely. So basically, I'm ondering if I should go 3050 now from a 1660s or wait... THOUGHTS?
Is it a 1660ti? If so there honestly isn’t enough of a performance gap to justify the change, unless you want to boost your fps specifically in DLSS based titles or utilize Ray Tracing in less demanding titles.
@@qwazyd0gg and honestly I was hoping to be able to play pubg on ultra or even medium to high and average over 100-120FPS .... Right now I get those rates, however only in very low on everything but textures and AA (1660 Super / R5 3600x)
I would like to ask, is it worth to buy RTX 3050 for Fortnite Competitive to at least get 160 fps on lowest settings? ( Asking as a Competitive Player )
Yea it would. Sometimes as mentioned in this video you can get the 3060 for a small amount more, which yields much better results; however, the recent price drops on the 3050 place it well under the 3060 in some markets.
OKay, i am getting just the money for this price section 390€ to replace my 1650, so i been waiting a loong time for good moment. You gave me the needed info on that it does have good cooling solution and is silent. My local market has return policies if it is shiet, i can return it, but i rather avoid that point.
I am eyeing this specifc card just cause budget, and i am into MSI, other choise would be Asus with similar performance and price. Goal games are Battlefields and Fallout games, if we get more of those. Diablo 4 in the wait list too.
@@qwazyd0gg Aight then, getting extra money in a little over month, have this time to research the best option for under 400€ budget. Also thinkin to get me 4k secondary monitor for movies, main monitor 144hz for gaming by minimum, those i upgrade after maybe next year.
Exactly! Especially now where the Canadian margins are so much smaller. If it makes you feel any better, I paid $850 for my RTX 3060, which if I had of waited I could have just gotten a 3070 or saved like $300 :(
Can i run 3050-i5 10400f-1 nvme m.2-1 ssd-1 hdd- 2x8 gb ram- 3 fan with 400 watt psu?? Cus iam still using 1050 ti, and i am considering to upgrade into 3050. It's quite abit high the vga price in indonesia.
A 550w is recommended for the 3050 as it’s power draw is 130w. You don’t have much in your PC, so a GOOD QUALITY 400w may be enough as it’s only 50 or so watts above your current spec.
actually, its works fine the 3050 with those specs above (ike u said). but i dont know how long the psu can hold if all the system runs under full load. So iam saving money for the good psu one XD
3050 is be a solid contender for 120fps in 1080p. May have to slightly decrease the settings on demanding games, but it’s made to be a great 1080p card.
You’re not wrong. Some will still prefer Nvidia for select titles or functionality; however, if you can find a 6600 for cheaper it will outperform the 3050 in most titles.
@@JesManVP You can use fsr 2.0 roughly the same Fyi i, also get the rtx 3050 for 249$ because of cuda req for machine learning software 6600 and 2060 is on 270$ in my country
@@MemberOfGeniusSociety the 2.0 argument is not a good because it's not in every game but once they enable the feature they promised with fsr 2.0 where a game does not need to support it and you can still use 2.0 I think amd will be on a good level to go against amd I like amd because the mid to low end market is just cheaper than Nvidia

Im looking for something to increase fps in my primary, which will allow me to move my 1660s over to my secondary which is currently a 1050ti. I'm wondering if the FPS increase would be worth it from a 1660 super. If so it would be awesome, priced at 300 USD and i can keep my 500w psu. OTHERWISE, I'd go 3060 with a new PSU, but since that costs more, it means I'd be waiting until next tax season likely. So basically, I'm ondering if I should go 3050 now from a 1660s or wait... THOUGHTS?
Is it a 1660ti? If so there honestly isn’t enough of a performance gap to justify the change, unless you want to boost your fps specifically in DLSS based titles or utilize Ray Tracing in less demanding titles.
@@qwazyd0gg 1660 Super, r53600x
@@qwazyd0gg and honestly I was hoping to be able to play pubg on ultra or even medium to high and average over 100-120FPS .... Right now I get those rates, however only in very low on everything but textures and AA (1660 Super / R5 3600x)
Considering 3050 is roughly same level with 1660 ti and a bit 5% faster than 1660 s you can wait for FSR 2.0 implementation
Main draw for the 3050 is hdmi 2.1
I would like to ask, is it worth to buy RTX 3050 for Fortnite Competitive to at least get 160 fps on lowest settings? ( Asking as a Competitive Player )
Yea it would. Sometimes as mentioned in this video you can get the 3060 for a small amount more, which yields much better results; however, the recent price drops on the 3050 place it well under the 3060 in some markets.
Have same card no OC they said it have OC but when after few days I noticed no OC
OKay, i am getting just the money for this price section 390€ to replace my 1650, so i been waiting a loong time for good moment.
You gave me the needed info on that it does have good cooling solution and is silent.
My local market has return policies if it is shiet, i can return it, but i rather avoid that point.
I am eyeing this specifc card just cause budget, and i am into MSI, other choise would be Asus with similar performance and price.
Goal games are Battlefields and Fallout games, if we get more of those.
Diablo 4 in the wait list too.
You’ll do great with this card!
@@qwazyd0gg Aight then, getting extra money in a little over month, have this time to research the best option for under 400€ budget. Also thinkin to get me 4k secondary monitor for movies, main monitor 144hz for gaming by minimum, those i upgrade after maybe next year.
@@qwazyd0gg Also saving up to buy me extra 4k monitor for movies, that is maybe next year thingy then. That HDMI port got my attention.
Facts!
Here a 3060 cost 200 extra bucks...
That’s crazy! Where do you live?
Exactly! Especially now where the Canadian margins are so much smaller. If it makes you feel any better, I paid $850 for my RTX 3060, which if I had of waited I could have just gotten a 3070 or saved like $300 :(
i dont know why you need to lie ?!
i run this gpu with 1080 p barely ultra on 68degrees maximum and over 120fps ?!
do you think that I should go with this 3050 or save up a little more for the 3060? is there that big of a difference?
There isn’t a ton of difference unless you and squeeze a 3060ti out of the upgrade.
I have 1650 should I buy the 3050 yes or no
You’d get a good return on your investment for sure.
can someone tell me if this is good for 1440p, i just got one today and i have a 1440 monitor and i notice no performance upgrade from my GTX 1070
Have you tried DLSS if the title supports it?
@@qwazyd0gg i mainly play gta and i do not see a DLSS setting
Yeah, doesn’t support DLSS :(
Is it worth it in 2024 ? 😅
Depends on the price point lol
Can i run 3050-i5 10400f-1 nvme m.2-1 ssd-1 hdd- 2x8 gb ram- 3 fan with 400 watt psu?? Cus iam still using 1050 ti, and i am considering to upgrade into 3050. It's quite abit high the vga price in indonesia.
A 550w is recommended for the 3050 as it’s power draw is 130w. You don’t have much in your PC, so a GOOD QUALITY 400w may be enough as it’s only 50 or so watts above your current spec.
@@qwazyd0gg cool..thanks mate
Anytime
actually, its works fine the 3050 with those specs above (ike u said). but i dont know how long the psu can hold if all the system runs under full load. So iam saving money for the good psu one XD
Smart move :)
If you're getting a 3050 you probably aren't shooting for 120 fps. I have 2 1080 60hz monitors
3050 is be a solid contender for 120fps in 1080p. May have to slightly decrease the settings on demanding games, but it’s made to be a great 1080p card.
I don't think it's worth it I can find a new 6600 which has better performance than a 3050 for 255
You’re not wrong. Some will still prefer Nvidia for select titles or functionality; however, if you can find a 6600 for cheaper it will outperform the 3050 in most titles.
Console emulation for amd card already improved , the only advantage of nvidia card is only producitivity acceleration software
@@MemberOfGeniusSociety naw dlss

You can use fsr 2.0 roughly the same
Fyi i, also get the rtx 3050 for 249$ because of cuda req for machine learning software
6600 and 2060 is on 270$ in my country
@@MemberOfGeniusSociety the 2.0 argument is not a good because it's not in every game but once they enable the feature they promised with fsr 2.0 where a game does not need to support it and you can still use 2.0 I think amd will be on a good level to go against amd I like amd because the mid to low end market is just cheaper than Nvidia
Rtx 1060 💀
Lmfao GTX 1060 😂
