I have a laptop with a 2050 and it does really well honestly at 1080p. With dlss on all games are smooth. I got the laptop for $520 at bestbuy. Upgraded the ram to 16gb from 8gb and put in a 2tb samsung nvme drive which put the total cost at $620. A really good buy for a laptop that can run almost all games at 1080p smoothly.
I'd say spend more on the 3050 if the gpu wattage was higher. A lot of 3050 laptops have higher wattages which means it has higher peak performance. Gotta look up every gaming laptop for info on GPU wattage before buying which is a pain as a consumer.
Higher power doesn't necessarily mean more performance, it can be limited by memory bus or voltage limits. Focus on benchmarks to see whether a higher priced higher power model is worth it. If there is cooling available you can always try flashing a higher power limit vbios anyway.
Nah bro. 4050 is a 3060 competitor and 3060 in general is 35% faster than a 3050Ti when not VRAM limited and 50% when VRAM limited. So a 3050 with 6GB VRAM (~3050Ti) is the same as a 1660Ti (Remember the 1660Ti vs 3050Ti comparison video and then 3050Ti vs 3060).

I have a question. I have almost the same Asus laptop as the one in the video (3050 variant) and the performance unplugged is pretty bad (the lag at times is unbearable). I see that this is a common issue with other users so I was wondering if you could confirm this problem and bring Asus up to speed with it.
I have the same asus. i5 11400h 3050 ti and 24gb ram. Ya when unplugged depending on how you have your power management setup it will drag hard. Its just the power need vs availability
Idk why there's so much hate on the 2050 I mean every place I search people always say "get a 4020" or "just buy a computer" some people are on a budget ya know and are from 3rd world countreis/ also time constarints because college students cant afford to save before classes.
Here in India, RTX 3050 laptops cost around $750-800. I've got an RTX 2050 at around $650, that too with a 70w TGP. Rtx 2050 laptops cost around $700. I guess I got a great deal, considering we get GTX 1650 laptops at the same price

I have asked him before regarding the 2023 3050 with 6gb vram. And he said he wouldn’t do it unless there’s sufficient laptop in the market coming out with it or if one is sent to him.
I bought Lenovo legion 5 with ryzen 5 5600H and rtx 3050 last year for a price of 1.150$+ (IDR 18 million). I know about the vram limitation after doing research and watching your video before i buy it. But i'm pretty happy with my purchase. It is a huge upgrade compared to my previous laptop after using it for almost a decade (Low entry laptop with i5 4th gen and GT720m). I've been using it for playing old games that i couldn't play with my old laptop, a few new games (not tripple A games), and emulators. Tho the small vram is a concern but i'm happy i can play a games with a steady locked 60 fps (concerned bout the thermal) and enjoying esport game like valorant.
How does it feels man ? I would imagine it suck as hell. Right now, im planning to upgrade my 1650 Max Q GF63 to RTX level, and seeing the price of a full powered RTX 4060 can get as low as 17 million Rupiah must be heartbreaking
@@agungkurniawan5880 not really. Since i bought the laptop, i don't even follow the new releases. It was a huge upgrade for me. Money come and gone so fast, and since i had the money back then ofc i bought it. Even tho IDR 18m a bit too expensive since it was still covid.
I would like to know about RTX A1000. The A1000 is less powerful than RTX 3050 in spec sheet. As far as I know A1000 is designed for productivity tasks . How does these GPU s perform in 3D Animation, VFX and editing tasks ? Does RTX A1000 have an advantage over RTX 3050 on such tasks?

Hey Great video with explanation, I'm bout to get Lenovo LOQ i5 12450H with RTX 2050 but 6gb variant of RTX 3050 is available at an extra price of about 120 dollars, is it worth going for it? cuz this video is 4gb variant
you said recently about using the integrated graphics when watching videos on battery as it is a much lower power GPU ... is this actually the case, i set all my apps to run at high power through the dedicated GPU , thinking that it is a much more power efficient unit ??
I have a 2050 but my friend have a 3050 . He was mocking me because he have a 3 in start of gpu but i have a two.i bought it because i just wanted to do decent gaming not like a high end gamer . Gaming just to kill time . 4 to 5 hours a weekdid i made a wrong decision to buy 2050.
for people who don't know much about tgp, even though rtx 2050 and 3050 perform similarly, it's only when they have the same tgp max tgp in any rtx 2050 laptop is 45 watts while for rtx 3050 its 95 watts tgp can make a huge difference in performance so do keep this in mind
Thank you for this review, I was nervous that the laptop I just ordered would be too weak for modern games. But if your getting almost 60fps with DLSS and High Settings, I should be able to get above 60 by using medium-low settings, which I’m fine with
Hi Jarrod! The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 with Ryzen 7 7745hx and RTX 4070 140W is on sale for $1600 on Lenovo's website. I brought the price down to $1250 with coupons and a student discount. In your opinion, is this a good deal?
Its much better, specially because of the higher wattage (75w) cant be Compared to just 40w in the Video, you get much more out of the 3050. I just bough a i5 13420h with 3050/6GB and 16GB ram for just 770€, i dont think you can get more value for less money. If you dont want it to get loud or hot while not Gaming, you can set it to quiet mode where it limits to 25w, its a good Solution.
Tbh i consider 3xxx series because.of VSR feature that only avalaible on 3xxx and higher while the 2050 doesn't have this and unknown if it will jave in the future
Up until buying a laptop I had peak interest in this channel. After buying a gaming laptop these videos just seem as monotonous and nothing else and have lost interest. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great channel but not worth watching after you made a choice. You feel guilty after that😂
Always go with the higher number of the price is the same. Ive noticed the 3050 uses less voltage than the 2050 for same results. Same with the 3050 vs the 4050

pick the one with 3050, if you play game you need those more watt
Will you review the RTX 3050 6GB refresh?
2050 has been replacing 1650 on starter laptops and I don't know if it's any better but 2050 to 3050 is interesting. Thanks J
Considering the 2050 does dlss makes it a massive difference. People mentioning the 1650 keep forgetting that.
Nah the 3050 is the new starter the 2050 is only on 3 laptops
Wait, I bought the asus tuf f15 rtx 2050 but it has 70W tgp. How did you get the 40W tgp variant 🧐?
Hi, can u share the performance of the laptops?
I have a question. I have almost the same Asus laptop as the one in the video (3050 variant) and the performance unplugged is pretty bad (the lag at times is unbearable). I see that this is a common issue with other users so I was wondering if you could confirm this problem and bring Asus up to speed with it.
Its common on all laptops
I have the same asus. i5 11400h 3050 ti and 24gb ram. Ya when unplugged depending on how you have your power management setup it will drag hard. Its just the power need vs availability
That's why I'm choosing MSI@griz3245
WHY IS THERE STILL NO VIDEO ON 3050 6GB????????????????????????????????????????????
Haven't received anything with it yet.
Idk why there's so much hate on the 2050 I mean every place I search people always say "get a 4020" or "just buy a computer" some people are on a budget ya know and are from 3rd world countreis/ also time constarints because college students cant afford to save before classes.
for a non-heavy gamer, how does rtx2050 par up for the next 5 years?
Very good!
Yes thats the big question. Is it sustainable
@@djdelta777 still good, can run all the games smoothly but in lower graphics
Depends on VRAM and TGP. If the 3050 has more VRAM, specially for 3D modelling and video editing, you should definitely reconsider this comparison.
Here in India, RTX 3050 laptops cost around $750-800. I've got an RTX 2050 at around $650, that too with a 70w TGP. Rtx 2050 laptops cost around $700. I guess I got a great deal, considering we get GTX 1650 laptops at the same price

I have asked him before regarding the 2023 3050 with 6gb vram. And he said he wouldn’t do it unless there’s sufficient laptop in the market coming out with it or if one is sent to him.
okay thanks, it was worth the shot. my thought process was if enough people asked, he might be more inclined to review it hahahahahaha

rtx 20 laptops are rarely available in my country and 3050 laptops are extremely affordable here
I bought Lenovo legion 5 with ryzen 5 5600H and rtx 3050 last year for a price of 1.150$+ (IDR 18 million). I know about the vram limitation after doing research and watching your video before i buy it. But i'm pretty happy with my purchase. It is a huge upgrade compared to my previous laptop after using it for almost a decade (Low entry laptop with i5 4th gen and GT720m). I've been using it for playing old games that i couldn't play with my old laptop, a few new games (not tripple A games), and emulators.

Perfect, thank you for all research and data comparison, thank you
The aftermarket prices on the 2050 are going to drop by a lot more than the 3050
Because more number is better
I would like to know about RTX A1000.
The A1000 is less powerful than RTX 3050 in spec sheet. As far as I know A1000 is designed for productivity tasks .
How does these GPU s perform in 3D Animation, VFX and editing tasks ?
Does RTX A1000 have an advantage over RTX 3050 on such tasks?
It's exactly the same as a 3050, but turned down slightly for less fan noise
It's better than the 3050 for those tasks because it is a Quadro.
I remember those times when Gtx1080 was considered peak gaming...Oh how the times have changed..
20xx series also capable of using 3D screens with Nvidia 3D Vision 2 Wireless Glasses while the 30xx and on word are not capable of doing that officially.
I find videos like these very interesting considering all the high end GPU content youtube is saturated with.
Thanks!

Jarrod as usual is doing an excellent job. Give a thumb up just because Jarrod sponsored this video 😂😂
Wow, there is a refreshed 3050 mobile. How does it perform compared to the original version, given that the bus width has been cut down? At least the vram frequency is increased though.
it all depends on the bandwidth. if the 96 bit can match the 128 bit by having faster GDDR6, answer should be obvious
@@GewelReal If you work out the math, the newer 3050 only has a tiny bit less bandwidth (about 5% less) than the older 3050, but it has a good bit more cuda cores, and also more vram capacity. Would you like to point out how obviously the 2 versions of the 3050 would compare in terms of performance now?
@@mingyi456 if bandwidth is similiar then you'd get as many % more performance as much more CUDA you have + no slowdowns when exceeding 4GB of VRAM
No regrets going for a Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 with the 2050 GPU-just have to be judicious with in-game graphics settings for eking out the best FPS.
Hey Great video with explanation,
I'm bout to get Lenovo LOQ i5 12450H with RTX 2050
but 6gb variant of RTX 3050 is available at an extra price of about 120 dollars, is it worth going for it?
cuz this video is 4gb variant
I have a rtx 2050 70W and it runs amazing!
as everybody else saying _> ALWAYS LOOK AT THE TGP in WATTS for Laptop GPUs. 2050 would be nowhere near the highest TGP configurated 3050.
Jarrod is misleading.
you said recently about using the integrated graphics when watching videos on battery as it is a much lower power GPU ...
is this actually the case, i set all my apps to run at high power through the dedicated GPU , thinking that it is a much more power efficient unit ??

Can you make a video about the Asus tuf your using in this video? I’m debating on buying this or the IdeaPad gaming
for people who don't know much about tgp,
even though rtx 2050 and 3050 perform similarly, it's only when they have the same tgp
max tgp in any rtx 2050 laptop is 45 watts while for rtx 3050 its 95 watts
tgp can make a huge difference in performance so do keep this in mind
Also keep in mind the 3050 is likely to have other updated components as well cpu ram etc
A full watt 3050 is up to 40% faster.
3050 performs way better
Really? Cause Asus TUF FX506hf has 55 W TGP (70W with dynamic boost)

the victus with a 3050 have a 6gb vram, most 13th gen rtx 3050 laptops come with 6gb of vram.
Its much better, specially because of the higher wattage (75w) cant be Compared to just 40w in the Video, you get much more out of the 3050.

Love your videos btw, they are so detailed and very helpful in deciding which laptop to buy!
Hi! Sorry if this is out of topic but I'm very new to anything laptop. I'm going to buy my very first gaming laptop in a few weeks (aiming for a ROG Strix G15 2022) but i have been struggling to find answers regarding maximum storages on gaming laptops (specifically the G15 I'm aiming for). I'll be using this laptop mostly for gaming, designing, 3D rendering so i want to get the most out of my laptop's storage yet on the websites they don't put out information on how much storage you can put in the laptop. So can I just put like 2TB of SSD per slot? or is it 2TB is the max per laptop?
We typically use a 4TB drive for our games without issue, however you'll need to make sure it can fit a double sided SSD.
How's better?
