Nvidia’s long-awaited return to the entry-level has finally come, in the form of the cut-down RTX 3050 with 6GB of VRAM, reduced cores and memory bandwidth. In this review, I’m comparing it to three other budget GPUs - the GTX 1650 Super, the AMD Radeon RX 5500, and the Intel Arc A380.

Dayum, a 2024 RTX card that makes 6500xt looks like a contender horse at the Hippodrome
Huh? It beat both 5500XT and 1650 SUPER, which means it will beat 6500XT easily as well. Not bad per se, just a tad overpriced.
@@klocugh12 the fact that it's in a similar ball park is what's disappointing.
@@klocugh12 the major overprice here is on AMD, the 6400 should be $99 the 6500 should be $120 and the 6600 should have been around $160-180 from launch. This should be called the rtx 3040 and should be priced at $150-160.

@@klocugh12 At release it was 180 on amazon... wouldn't say it's overpriced for what it delivers, considering a 6500xt is 140 reg, and 170 for ITX. also, 6400 is 150 and arc a380 is 120. For 180 (or even 200 that it's gone up to recently) this is a pretty price efficient card, you might as well just go with a 6600 for like 200 if you want better performance instead of form factor and power savings though...

Hmm... I'm trying to get my hands on an LP model, but you can't buy it in the states yet. Anyhow, I think it's an exciting card for the LP market. The 1650 LP sells for about the same money on eBay, has 2GB less VRAM, doesn't have DLSS and is quite a bit slower. When your only other options are the RX 6400 and Arc A380... for gaming, this is pretty awesome for SFF OEM systems. This is a great option for the SFF OEM market. However, at a full height card, it makes no sense at the same price point when a $190 RX 6600 exists and wipes the floor with even the 8GB model, even with RT. It needs to be a sub $150 card. And I agree, it should have been the 3040. Had the 8GB been a 3050 Ti... it would be fine, but NVIDIA is going to do NVIDIA things.
Newegg is already sold out of those, but the ASUS and Gigabyte OC models are still up for grabs. But, for $180 this is not worth it.
@@Lostcontroller Newegg never had the LP models in stock, nobody has, so they're not really sold out. They popped up and have always been on auto notify. I ordered the MSi model from B&H and it says it's special order. 7-14 business days. I'm uninterested in the full height models, as I already said... they're not worth it with the 6600 being $10 more. They need to be sub $150. I need the LP model for some testing I'm doing against a bunch of other LP cards. I'll just wait for B&H to ship my order. Probably won't see it until March.
@@Lostcontroller Newegg didn't sell out of them... they never had them in stock. No retailers in the U.S. have had any of the low profile models in stock. B&H will let you order the MSi model, but it says that it's special order and will take 7-14 business days. I ordered one from them, and hopefully I see it by March. As for the full height models, I already made it clear that I don't think they worth getting. They need to be much cheaper to be enticing when there are other new, faster options, at the same price... like the RX 6600.
Yup, you make a good point; the low profile model is interesting given you can throw it into almost anything. The full size version, however you're better off not bothering with as there's better options out there and yep, it should be called the RTX 3040. Nvidia being Nvidia again....
Budget level is not for RT gaming. So happy with my RX 6600, snagged it Nov '22 for 280$ CDN, thing's a champ man for the price. Next step up was 400$ CDN, and the uplift was nowhere near 30%. Just cannot justify the cost to somewhat properly run RT.
*edit to add: am no fan boy of team green - red or blue, am team CONSUMER!
I run RT on my 7600, used to on my 6600xt, but my 7600 has better performance, got my 7600 for $250
Same here, bought an RX 6600xt on december and I'm very happy with it. I couldn't care less about RT either
Don't let it mislead you. RT is actually the least feature you're buying with Nvidia RTX card.
I have been contemplating ditching my RTX 3060 12GB Card for an AMD 6700XT, actually.
I don't do team blue-red-green stuff, only care about how we the shopper plebs fair out hehe ^_^
Wish I could remember how those two stack up against one another. 12gb ain't bad at all these days for my budget lol XD
Is rasterization performance (pure fps ommph) higher with the 6700XT?
What's the draw for you to move over to the 6700XT?
Genuinely curious and bored on a Sunday, hehe ^_^' @@mohamedmagdy-dz1pm
This is genuinely a good option for the mini pc with a pcie slot. Aside from the power consumption I still think getting a use rtx 2060 is kinda better option for an nvidia card with it being around $150 locally for me.
No it's genuinely terrible option given the existence of RTX 4060 Gigabyte OC edition when Low Profile cards are required .
Though I suppose 4060 is less addorable.
@@GameslordXY I wasn't talking about mini itx or small form factor pcs, I'm talking about those mini pcs similar to intel nucs. The one with a full pcie slot is the minisforum ms-01 and it doesn't have a pcie power cable to run the 4060 low profile.
@@LeKingCarnage get a used 1650? it will be 20% slower but less than half the price. But if this fits your use case, it just is the niche card I guess.

Well done sir!!!
Haardware Nexus and Paul 2 Cents got me cracking! Please keep being the funniest, most budget oriented and most sincere reviewer on youtube.
I keep seeing people say that this should be called a 3040 but you should keep in mind that the XX50 cards from Nvidia have historically been the 75w TDP drop in versions since the RTX 750 and the RTX 3050 8gb is really more of a Super based on it's power draw. This being dual slot kind of murk's the trend though and keeps out many SFF PC's but it should still fit those cheap hp mid towers. The question is what kind of performance loss is there on an old used PC w/ PCIE 3.0 that these no pin connector cards are very useful in.
4:45 what the heck is this? 😂😂😂😂😂
4:44
4:43
LooooooLll😂😂😂😂😂
This was a great video with good comparisons. As someone that use to ONLY use computers that could fit the low profile cards and the 75watts the slot provided (think recycled business class PC), this was right up my ally. You are spot on with the idea that there are older cards that can out perform if you just give up the smaller form factor (as I did) and use more power. This is still nice to take a look at. It's too bad they can't squeeze just a bit more out of these tiny power sippers.
love the vid!
Finally, a 1650 with all the modern features, like the feature to be able to cut performance in half for no reason.
Truly revolutionary
launching a brand new 6gb gpu should be illegal
At this price, absolutely. It's a poor value even if you want to upgrade a low profile PC, and there are countless infinitely better options for a system of normal size.
@4:44 I've watched one guy never heard of the other but def like your presentation style better than the one.
That facemash though.
Superb 👏
Think ill just stick with my 1650 for a couple more years👍🏻 thing’s a champ
Being Bus powered is pretty sick though for an RTX card
This will be huge for the OEM SFF upgraders! The 4060 LP has struggled from needing an external 8 Pin PCIe power cable and the a2000 has been overpriced because of it's niche status. You can hardly even find USED LP 1650/1050 for less than $180, so this is sure to sell.
Or just get a better PC
I think people underestimate how big the OEM SSF upgrade market is. There's a reason the 1650 LP is often out of stock and being scalped at $250+. Most kids can convince their parents to grab a new $200 GPU over a bunch of random used parts off eBay or Craigslist. It $180 its basically a steal compared to what's been available beforehand
@@spoots1234 $180 is way overpriced for such entry level harware and performance.
@@kathleendelcourt8136 On the subject of normal PC components, yes, on the subject of drop in OEM replacements, no. That's the point that has been made.
@@ALmaN11223344 Sure, let's justify price gouging just because there's a lack of offer.
Just started the video, but I've been waiting for this review!. I know the 3050 6gb isn't going to be great, but im curious how it holds up against something like the 1650. Ok. Gonna watch now hahaha
One thing to note the Gigabyte version has 4 outputs. In business environment using Oem PCs where you need some 3d rendering for work and 4 outputs it makes it one of the only GPUs you can buy.
YAY, you cover with the 5500!! I got that for my daughter for $70 from Ali, I found it wonderful!
at this point, you might as well call it a gtx
it should be gtx.
It has ray tracing hardware, so it deserves the RTX name, at least on paper.
Whether GPUs this weak should ever have ray tracing hardware in the first place is a different question though. They could be made cheaper and more powerful by leaving out a feature that isn't useful anyway on GPUs this weak. AMD should have done the same with their integrated GPUs - Radeon 740M having 4 RT cores is just dumb, who wants to use ray tracing on a GPU only as powerful as a GT 1030?
@@nathangamble125me I want to use rt on a low low end gpu
@@nathangamble125oh that's easy, AMD doesn't have dedicated RT or AI hardware, instead the stream processors present in RDNA compute units are capable of ray tracing and AI workloads.
That's why RT cores always = CU count and why AMD loses more performance when turning on RT, it's because a portion of your compute units switch from rasterization to ray tracing.
@@nathangamble125 well a gtx card like the 1080 ti can infact raytrace
just imagine if this card was called something else, had more vram, was more capable but did not have rt capability and did not have dlss support, it would soooo much more appealing for sub 200 dollar gpu
and you are absolutely right, no weak card should ever have rt capability but well many people are going to buy it thinking its just one class below the 3060
I was actually thinking of doing a cheap SFF build for my niece (All she plays is the Sims 4 and Genshin Impact). This card might fit the bill, actually, since she doesn't have a lot of space for even a midtower PC in her room.

I do stuff on twitch with a dual PC setup. It is a LP EliteDesk with a 6700 and my gaming PC has a 12400F and 6700 XT (was bought before streaming) I could see myself buying one for that computer for reasonably priced Nvenc. Would be a pretty good option with not being able to use PCIe power and needing LP.
I have a pc with a gtx 1050 and a capture card I use solely for capturing console gameplay and editing videos. This seems appealing just for having newer NVENC and I assume better hw acceleration in productivity programs.
Just pay the extra money for the GigaByte RTX4060 lowprofile. I have one on my HP800 G1 with 4790 and it brought new life to the i7 4790 for 4k resolutions and its the render equivalent of the RTX2080 in a small form factor. Absolutely amazing
It's almost twice the price and needs a power connector...
@@My_Old_YT_Account so what about the power connector? The 4060 for the price is overall the better value. Has the same render equivalent as the RTX2080 that MSRP'd for$1200 new and to get that equivalent in the 4060 for under $355 after tax the price to performance, price has gone way down. My HP 800 G1 uses a 240 watt power supply and powers the 4060 just fine. The 3050 6 GB renders at about a GTX 1060 6GB model sells for $275 after tax at half the render scalability of the RTX4060 that just cost less than a 1/3 more. The RTX 3050 6GB is just overall a bad value for long term gaming.
Its double in €$
@@unknownname6519 its not its a 1/3 more for double the power. The RTX3050 6GB is $265 after tax. The RTX 4060 on amazon is $349 after tax. Literally 30% more in cost for 90% more render. The 3050 6GB would beed to be $216 to be a value to the render equivalent

Your intro sounds like what plays when selecting a shop building in Warcraft 3
Speaking of older cards in AW2, they actually run it okay-ish on Linux with some tweaks. I was able to play it on a Vega 56 with around 30-40fps on 1080p low w/o FSR
I love how everybody calls it poor value and if I ask them what is the better deal then, they recommend some used 10 year old enthusiast class Radeon with monster size that won't fit into my case and with 400W TDP they found on ebay at the same price. But hey, it's 10% faster!

Yeah this card just ain’t it. NVIDIA’s playing anyone who thinks they are getting a 3050. If you want new just get an RX 6600 and call it a day. It at least has 8 gigs of vram which I think is the minimum for 2024 1080p gaming.

You sir got jokes. Got me with Hardware Nexus bit.
In on itself it is not a 'bad' card per se, but I believe it is still expensive for what it is and it came out a little too late. If this card, appropriately named as a 3040, was released two years ago it would have been awesome for an entry level gpu, even at the $180.00 price. Still this is not a bad option if you want a new entry level card or you can't use external power connectors on your pc. Great to see you cover this card, even if it is not the best price/performance wise it is still important to see how it fares, more so due the price being a relatively entry level GPU. Thanks for the video!
"it is still expensive for what it is" and that is the definition of a bad card.
@@Uthleberthere's not any other real option sadly
@@My_Old_YT_Account And that's probably why it's so expensive. It doesn't really have competition in the 75w power draw market, besides a weaker 1650 or a more powerful, but usually more expensive, RTX A2000 (the 6GB A2000 costs over 600€ in my country, compared to 3050 at 210-230€).
I love Low profile GPUs, that make any office computer in a nice gamer pc.
It's interesting if you get the LP model as shown here and that's probably about it. A reasonable competitor for the LP RTX A2000 as far as the most powerful LP cards that draw their power just from the motherboard go. I have both and am interested in seeing how they compare.
I kind of want one of these to go along with my single slot RX 6400 on my test bench.
I wonder if these are coming Stateside.
It's not that bad tbh, if they lowered the price it would be valuable option.

The 6600 non-XT is a real champ at its price point

🙂 yay i have a SFF Z420, it can fit a dual slot low profile card, this will work quite nicely
they should have just released the laptop version of the 4050 as a gpu it would kill and cool pretty easy tbh it has some great performance for the budget gaming laptops when i bought one but mine had a battery issue so i returned it. your videos are great man.
Was watching this after a day of work, and do be feeling oddly familiar yet equally foreign with Gamers Unboxed and JayZHardware at 4:42.
So other than RT and DLSS, it's slower than a GTX 1660 Super.
Interesting.
Good video.
Btw Warzone. You should probably give FSR3 a try since it also supports frame generation. Would be interesting to see the results on some weaker hardware.
It’s a perfect option for me. I’m trying to turn an old small form factor business PC with an i5-6500 into a Plex server capable of 4K transcoding. This GPU will be able to just slot right in, and it’ll be able to handle all the transcodes I could ever need, breathing new life into a PC that would otherwise end up in the scrap bin. Being small form factor, it can just tuck away out of sight and consume as little power as possible, while returning some decent performance
Out of curiosity, is your RX 5500 running through a PCIe x4 or xi interface? There are reports of the AE cards occasionally being reflashed W5500s that are running x4 rather than true RX 5500 OEM cards running x8.
Really, the LP cards and KalmX of this GPU are the only ones worth buying
Well it suits my SFF PC I have under my living room TV. Nice to know I can replace my GTX 1650 with this in the future.
Thnx for the video and its a good gpu :)
I wish you could compare it to the "supercharged" rtx3050 8Gb OC to see if there is a notable difference been powered by a power supply ans having the possibility to overclock
For a desktop performance is not that impresive the rtx 3050 6gb, but if this chip can be adjusted for a handheld device that will be great 😊
A would absolutely love to see you make a video about the different types of upscaling please 🙏
great video as usuall. still waiting on the 6950x video ;)
when you test palworld, i recommend testing the game at desserts, because for some reason, desserts are one of the heaviest to render, my FPS often dip below 60FPS when i am at the desserts for some reason, even tho my FPS are fine at any other place.
0:55 I honestly LOL'd when I was that MSI 3050 appear!!! 😀
In this line up you could put the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, the integrated graphics kind of compare to these GPU's.
I'm planning out a lp 3050 build in a 5.6 liter case that comes out to be around 550.... honestly looking at any other LP card it really just blows the rest out of the water in the price range... and the 4060LP costs nearly double for only about 40-50% increase ub frames.
Hey Iceberg, do you have comment rules like the largest TV channel in the UK?
i have the card on my laptop since 6 months it's good for light gaming
This would be a good upgrade from my msi 1650 low profile but here in the states it’s currently $446.82 with shipping on amazon and not worth it.
I was thinking about getting a ryzen 8600g/8700g for the APU as I also live in the UK and my electricity bill is a rip off. Can't seem myself buying now, I could just stick this in to a pre built for almost the same price of the CPU alone and power usage.
I think this card would benefit from a 6-pin connector. With TDP close to PCI-E limit of 75W, RX560 had history of throttling under load and underperforming w/o it. Maybe here it would be the same, as in 6-pin equipped models could achieve higher boosts?
Also, how about Quake 2 RTX test?
Might buy one to use as a low end CUDA card in my optiplex machines.
I got an rx 6400 in my optiplex that I now regret buying because of this
It might not be a miserable card, but my reference point is mostly still the GTX1060 6GB and RX580 8GB for budget gaming each can be obtained used around 50€ (I assume similar in the UK) and less for the mining versions.
Having more modern architecture and software support helps, but it's simply too cut down to just about run current games. I also would not invest in a new 6GB GPU unless it's dirt cheap.
Also: as far as those sub 75w GPU are concerned: I actually prefer ones just over it or having a connector despite not needing additional power on paper. A lot of those Prebuilds struggle to actually deliver the power. If the power requirement isn't huge, you can use a SATA to PCIe adapter.
Will the low profile dual slot version of this card fit in dell optiplex 9020 SFF?
Hardwares nexus or pauls 2 cents xD lmao Great video man.
there are still plenty of brand new RTX 20 series cards they did not manage to sell off yet and they are by far the best money to performance new cards.
Try using the card in the 4x slot and a PCI-e riser to see how much performance is reduced, , , please?
My mouth is watering at the idea of throwing this in my server but I can't think of any use cases atm that would justify not waiting for the price to drop or used cards to appear.
Don't forget that there are also multiple versions of the base GTX 1650, a GDDR5 version and GDDR6 version. They can differ surprising amounts in performance.
GDDR6 version was meant to replace the GDDR5 one since memory maker stop making GDDR5.
Hmm I wasn't sure on the RX 5500, but I'm thinking on picking it up if it goes on sale again on Aliexpress. Was able to get it down to 85€ with a 10% discount code (72£) but decided to postpone the purchase at a later date since I'm not in a hurry to get a GPU for my secondary rig (Xeon E3 1240v2).
A good alternative to A2000 for my unraid server. Currently using a no-power pin 1630 gtx.
it is basically upscaled RTX 2050 with 2 gigs more vram, which is a laptop gpu.
🙂👍 its great, but I need it to be single slot because some of my small form factor oem cases only have room for single slot cards, make a version just like an RX 6400 and I will be a happy camper
With 6 gigs, you might be able to trace like, 3 light rays at most.
Hardware Nexus or PaulsTwoCents. Absolutely amazing.
Is this the new SFF 75W King?
The SFF Prebuilt upgrade scene is a little dead since CPU performance surged in the last 5 to 10 years.. but still nice to have.
The A2000 is still faster, though maybe not in games as that has to be seen
Feels more like the release of the last AGP cards...
Love that this is available for what it does, hate the naming. Couldn't they have called it an rtx 2050 and just not really dealt with the hate?
Edit: no dlss frame gen sucks, though.
