Is the RTX 3050 future proof? Lockiteheimer
No, for someone like me who values raw GPU performance over any other factor, especially if you compare the RTX 3050 to AMD’s Radeon RX 6600, which has a significant advantage over the RTX 3050.
The price point of the RX 6600 is almost the same as the RTX 3050. So if you don’t do content creation like 3D visualization, video editing, then the RTX 3050 is the way to go.
Many of the AAA titles I like to play still don’t support DLSS, and when both GPUs were tested, these were performance comparisons.
Performance comparison of RTX 3050 and RX 6600
| Game | RTX 3050 | RX 6600 |
|---|---|---|
| Control | 70 FPS | 86 FPS |
| Horizon Zero Dawn | 60 FPS | 80 FPS |
| God of War (2018) | 36 FPS | 55 FPS |
| Fortnite | 256 FPS | 310 FPS |
| Hitman 3 | 110 FPS | 138 FPS |
| Far cry 6 | 58 FPS | 72 FPS |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 55 FPS | 73 FPS |
| Days passed | 78 FPS | 95 FPS |
| GUM | WIN BECAME |
Is it good for 3D rendering?
Generally, I recommend a more powerful GPU than the RTX 3050 if you only use it for 3D rendering, video editing. But if gaming is what you want along with other heavy tasks, then the 3050 is the way to go, such as content creation, online streaming, video production, and more.
A winner for the RX 6600 if only used for gaming
Overall, the AMD RX 6600 completely outperforms the RTX 3050 in gaming performance in every game test, even with Ray Tracing and DLSS Mode ON.
Get Real: Quick question related to RTX 3050:
Is the RTX 3050 good for gaming?
It’s a very decent card for gaming at a reasonable price, but it’s recommended to get the RX 6600 instead, which is about the same price as the RTX 3050. Why not spend the same amount for more performance.
