RTX 3050 Test in 40 Games in 2024

[@KaranBenchmarks]

Some of the games on this list are very demanding that we couldn't even maintain 60+ FPS even with DLSS turned on at ultra settings. That is why I've reduced the demanding settings of these games to high or medium while the rest are on ultra to produce stable 60+ FPS at native 1080p resolution (I call them "custom ultra settings" which gives nearly same visuals as ultra but with way better performance and stability). DLSS provides near-native resolution quality while also providing better than native in some games but keep in mind that the performance will be limited by the CPU in some of these CPU-demanding games with DLSS turned on. DLSS is extremely CPU demanding feature so if you're having an 8 or 12 core CPU, you'll get slightly better performance but in my case, my 6 core i5 is facing a slight bottleneck with DLSS. It's not a big issue, because we're getting 99-100% of our GPU at native resolution and even with DLSS it's nearly at 99-100% except some CPU limited games, where it's 80-90% but That is more than enough for a casual gamer. So If you like my work, then please hit that "like" button, share this video and subscribe to my channel. It takes a lot of time and effort to make these types of videos !!

Im having a problem choosing a gpu should i get this gpu or rtx 3060 ti or even some amd xt version?

[@KaranBenchmarks]

3050 if you're on a tight budget otherwise go for 3060 / 3060 Ti

[@IZZYX-X]

What about amd? Any recomendation, or just better rtx card?I think i will go for rtx 3050 8gb. Mybe when i have money enough for 3060

[@InSpire0429]

I have the same CPU, but have RTX 3070, in the NFS Unbound I have GPU 80%, I think it is because of CPU? 2k resolution on ultra

Very impressive performance, I thought it would be worse. Btw nice video you made

[@mertince2310]

anything but impressive*

[@edgj2010]

surprisingly, considering its not that expensive in retrospect, its a pretty solid mid level graphic card to start with. i never understood the hate it gets now days but thats just me. though my experience might differ because i run my 3050 with a intel Core i9-13900H with the cpu and graphics card professionally overclocked and liquid cooling system... so my experience probably differs.

[@mertince2310]

@@edgj2010 "I bought this card so its good 😡" It costs the same with 6650 XT and A770 ffs. Go look up their performance vs 3050.

[@edgj2010]

@@mertince2310 why the hate? also at what point did i say it was flat out good? or that because i bought it it is good? i stated its a solid mid level graphics card, i even explained I may have experienced with it a bit different then some people going for budget setups because of the setup I use. so again.. whats with the hate? and fabricating sentences. man people be hateful for anyone having an opinion now days.

[@mertince2310]

@@edgj2010 What do you mean "why the hate"? Im simply pointing out your misinformation. And your experience isn't different from other people either, in any kind of gaming load that 13900H is going to be heavily bottlenecked by 3050 and no amount of "professional overclocking" can fix this. People see comments like this, go pay 300 dollars for a 200 dollar card, and nvidia keeps up their stupid pricing because people buy their cards no matter.

[@mikemodels928]

This is not really a bad gpu for the price. I have this card and i never had drop under 30fps in any case, mostly 50+fps on maxed out settings. Not to mention i have 1080p monitor 😂 i also have 8gb version.

[@BladeCrew]

I use 1440p dlss quality to get even better visuals to performance. I use DLDSR on my 1080p monitor to scale up to 1440p. Then use dlss quality at 1440p to get 970p. So its a bit lower than 1080p but looks better than native 1080p. I run 1440p DLSS Quality + high settings and always get 60 fps average.

[@josephjalappat8673]

Hey I get like 45 fps in Spiderman miles Morales mine is ryzen 7 5000 Rtx 3050 with 8gb ram it's a lap not a PC but for some reason my fps is very less in spider man if you have any suggestions pls do say 🙏

[@BladeCrew]

@@josephjalappat8673 The laptop rtx 3050 only has 4GB of Vram(mine is the desktop rtx 3050 that comes with 8GB of Vram) and you said you have 8 GB of ram, spiderman miles morales recommended ram requirements is 16GB. Just put another 8GB ram(is like 15-20 dollars) stick in and run on 1080 medium to high settings that would stop your stuttering in miles morales and increase fps. Also recommend installing it on a ssd. You run out of vram and goes into system ram, since your system ram is too low I recommend at least 16GB so that if you go higher settings you can use your ram as vram when it spills over out of your vram. You can also get these days 32GB DDR4 3200 MHz cl 16 ram kits for 44 dollars.

Mad Max: I get 55fps-60fps at 4k/Very high+Max (Doesn't have DLSS option) Days Gone: I get 60 fps at 4k/ultra + DLSS Quality Death Stranding: I get 35-40fps at 4k/ultra + DLSS Quality but locked it at 30fps /ooks better with DLSS quality than the native 4k. Battlefield 5: I get +50fps at 4k/ultra(everything maxed out)(Doesn't have DLSS option) Battlefield 1: I get +55fps at 4k/ultra(everything maxed out)(Doesn't have DLSS option) Batman Arkham Knight: I get +46fps-50fps at 4k/ultra(everything maxed out)(Doesn't have DLSS option) Gotham Knights: I get stable 60fps at 4k/very high + DLSS Quality, when Ray Tracing is enabled in this game, I get 30fps at 4k/very high (30fps drop that's crazy) Hogwart Legacy: I get 35(min)-50fps(depends on the areas) at 4k/ultra(everything maxed out) + DLSS Quality Marvel's Spiderman: I get stable 30fps at 4k/high +DLSS Quality (same results in Miles Morales) Uncharted 4 thief's End: I get 60fps at 2k/very high(couldn't find 4k resolution in the game)+DLSS Quality I have many other games as well but didn't have the chance to test them all but I do that for fun from time to time. All games that I tested , I did not OC or undervolt the GPU, only while gaming I chose the performance option. DLSS makes up for the lack of more vram I sometimes face at 4k and I can always go further with DLSS like Balanced gives more fps and performance and Performance gives more fps than Balanced and Ultra gives more performance than performance but I would rather not choose ultra performance. It's always either Quality or Balanced or Auto, because Auto gives incredible boost to fps.

[@imiejj8665]

this card does 1440p well with dlss and high or medium settings :)

[@drummer7557]

That 8 gigs of VRAM helps alot, you could probably do some slight 1440p gaming. I was going to get an Acer Predator Orion 3000 Desktop with this setup and a nice 13th gen intel processor for just $679, but i decided nah. You get what you pay for in that case. It just doesn't have the proper cooling imo. So I'll stick with my old PC with the 1660ti in it, my Series X, One X, PS5 and Steam Deck. That's plenty. This is about the best video I've seen though for any graphics card performance, NICE job!!

It's not bad at all the only reason people hate on it is because it got released after the rest of the 30 series came out so they compare the 3050 with the 3060 and up.
