The GeForce RTX 3050 6GB is an interesting new release from Nvidia targeting the sub-$200 market. Now, the interesting part is not so much for its performance as it is for other angles.

Whereas the original model, released two years ago, is based on the GA107 silicon
This abomination is only 2 % faster than the GTX1060.
GTFO Nvidia...
This card only requires the power supplied by the PCI slot, no PSU power required. The 1060 did.This abomination is only 2 % faster than the GTX1060.

Also 2016 vs 2024, 16nm vs 8nm, 125W vs 70W, 192bit vs 96bit and $250 vs $170.This card only requires the power supplied by the PCI slot, no PSU power required. The 1060 did.
Apples to oranges.

I know there are a lot of differences but still...3.6% better in CS2
Maybe this is the new GTX750Ti slot powered Dell Optiplex friendly card.
Like 34.2 to 46.7 fps make any difference.And 36% faster in AC:Mirage. Cherrypicking can go both ways.
There's no 'maybe', slot power is the entire reason this card exists.
750, 750Ti
1050, 1050 Ti
1650, 1650 D6
3050 6GB
And there will likely be a slot power 4060 6GB or similar 2 years hence.
Like 34.2 to 46.7 fps make any difference.
And 10.8 to 24.6
Still not playable. If a game loads and run under 60 fps it's a big NO for me.
Who gets this card is for e-sports titles like CS, media center and other low power systems.
And for $170-200 you get better value from used market. RTX2070 Super or RTX3060.
WTF with The A580 power usage ?
I wanted to comment how does this stack up against the GTX1060 or the 1660 Super/Ti since most folks would be looking to swap those out with a 'RT' model. And it's marginally faster than those cards. Thanks to the comments section for sharing that information.
Techspot, Can we also look at a comparison of what GPUs would a new GPU replace and performance vs that?
Not a fan of the naming? But I am a fan of the 70W power limit.
So, the RTX 3050 6GB would be a nice upgrade for a system like this! My GTX1650 (4GB) is still serving me fine, but it's good to know for a system like this instead of the choice a year or two ago of "GTX1650, but make sure you get the right variant", you now have a choice of GTX1650, RTX 3050 6GB, or Arc 380.
