January 27 news, Nvidia entry-level ampere game card RTX 3050 went on sale today, the relevant first review video was also released last night, let's take a look together.
We used linus Tech Tips data this time, and we can see that for gamers, the performance of the RTX 3050 is basically the same as that of its own GTX 1660 Ti.
Compared with the AMD next door, the RTX 3050 is basically twice as good as the recently released RX 6500 XT after turning on light tracking, and it will have less advantages without light tracking.
For older platforms, the RTX 3050 doesn't have much performance penalty under PCIe 3.0. After all, it doesn't offer the same as the RX 6500 XT next door, offering only four PCIe channels.
For productivity users, the RTX 3050 will perform slightly better, about 17% ahead of the GTX 1660 Ti and basically on par with the RX 6600 next door.
And the RTX 3050 provides 8GB of GDDR6 video memory, which doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, but at least it avoids bursting memory.
As for the question of the relationship between everyone, the mining performance of the RTX 3050 is very low and should not be targeted. However, considering that the price of the RX 6500 XT next door has also risen a lot, it should be unlikely that you will buy the RTX 3050 at the original price.
