    They should just release a rtx 4090 2gb that runs on 32bits memory bandwith and has 1000 cuda cores.
    Why not scam the consumer base properly if you want to scam them anyways?
    One a sidenote all of this makes you appreciate even more why EVGA dropped their gpu lineup and broke ties with nvidia. They would be forced to participate in all this sh*tfest.

I have issues with both AMD and Nvidia and love their products for different reasons but criticism where criticism is due, Nvidia would be more than likely to pull shit like that. RTX 4070 with GDDR6 vs the original GDDR6X retailing for the same MSRP for instance. It's not such a big deal and heavy impact as with this 3050 but it still paints a picture about them squeezing out money wherever they see fit.

If you’ve got access to a more robust power supply, used 6600-6650xts and 3060s provide a better value, but for the role This card is supposed to fill it’s pretty good.

    At half the power usage, it actually seems like a good low end/ small form factor card.
    However, the price needs to be well below 200€.
    And, of course, just call it a 3040. ffs Nvidia, just say you made a really efficient low end card and be proud of it.
    I'd personaly love such a low power RTX card in a media centre PC.

    Guys...do you still remember the days of GTX 750ti and GTX1050ti ? Also what baffles me is the People who hype integrated GPUs of Handheld Gaming devices like ROG ally or Steam Deck... but they bash the GPUS like RTX 3050... which is like 2 or 3 times more powerful lol

    • @entryofemotion12
      @entryofemotion12 9 годин тому +1

      That's because the iGPU in those handheld devices are fairly good for what they are but also barely sip power on a battery powered device, while this is a full sized GPU in a desktop that's literally just a worse version of a card that already existed.
      There's a reason people praise the performance of the handhelds. When they're sipping on that battery powered device, but still making things look and run decent, but then you see THIS...there's a lot of consideration for how little power those little iGPUs use, for what they can do.
