【funinusa.net comprehensive report].TechPowerUp reviewed NVIDIA's entry-level GeForce RTX 3050 6GB and found that its performance was mixed, depending on how you look at it. The reviewer found that the RTX 3050 6GB is the fastest GPU on the market and doesn't require a dedicated auxiliary power connector. StillCompared to other GPUs, the RTX 3050 6GB is up to 20%-30% slower than its 8GB counterpart, and slower than NVIDIA's Turing-based, 5-year-old GTX 1660 Ti.

The RTX 3050 6GB is exactly what the name suggests, but it has more hardware specifications than the memory capacity. Clock speed, power consumption, memory bus width, and memory capacity are all castrated, which makes this graphics card more like an "RTX 3040" than an RTX 3050 8GB offshoot.

Compared to the RTX 3050 8GB, the RTX 3050 6GB has 11% fewer CUDA cores and SM, a 21% lower boost clock, a 33% reduction in memory bandwidth and memory capacity, and an 85% reduction in TDP. The RTX 3050 6GB specs are heavily castrated, which also explains why it's much slower than its 8GB counterpart. TechPowerUp's benchmarks show that the RTX 3050 8GB is on average 28% faster than the RTX 3050 6GB at 1080p. At 1440p, 8GB graphics cards are on average 30% faster, while at 4K, 8GB graphics cards have a 40% performance lead. Even more embarrassing,According to Techpowerup's testing, the RTX 3050 6GB is surpassed by NVIDIA's GTX 1660 Ti 6GB at all three resolutions. Resolved at 1080prate down,The 1660 Ti is 3050 6GB faster on average than 18GB, 20% faster at 1440p resolution, and 15% faster at 4K resolution. RTX 3050 specsOn TechpowerUp's list, the only thing that NVIDIA's 3050 6GB graphics cards can beat is NVIDIA's venerable GTX 1060 6GB, AMD's RX 580 8GB, and RX 6500 XT 4GB. It's worth mentioning that the GTX 1650 1650 Super and GTX 1660 1660 Super are not on this list. But according to TechPowerUp's results, the performance of the 6GB Ampere GPU could be close to that of the GTX 1650 Super, which is sad. Unsurprisingly, the performance in the game is also lackluster. TechPowerUp found that in most games, the RTX 3050 6GB can't reach 1080FPS at 60p. In many of the latest AAA games like Plague Story: Requiem, PUBG: Survivor, Alan Wake 2, and older games like Cyberpunk 2077, Ampere GPUs barely reach playable FPS (30 FPS) at 1080p. Of course, the settings in the game may be lowered to achieve higher FPS, but these results are not ideal for the brand new GPUs coming in 2024. The only thing where the RTX 3050 6GB is competitive is the efficiency results of TechPowerUp. The reviewer found that in terms of efficiency,The 3050 6GB is on par with NVIDIA's ADA Lovelace GPU architecture and is only 4060% worse than the RTX 3%. Ampere GPUs are also 32% more efficient than RTX 3050 8GB. This makes sense considering that the RTX 3050 6GB clock frequency is significantly lower than the 8GB version, which means that the GPU may be operating on a more efficient part of its voltage curve. However, TechPowerUp reviews confirm that the RTX 3050 6GB performs very badly, and the $180** is probably one of the worst GPUs on the entry-level market. According to TechPowerUp's benchmarks, AMD's RX 6600 is $20-30 more expensive than the 3050 6GB and is 60% faster. The same goes for Intel's ARC A750. The RTX 3050 6GB's only advantage is its 75W power envelope, allowing it to be used in systems that don't have a dedicated auxiliary PCIe power cord. For these systems, you have no choice but to opt for a 3050W GPU like the 75GB 75GB. Welcome to Fulinusa.NET forum discussions
