It’s faster than the GTX 1650 which has been a great option for SFF PCs but it’s not quite as fast as the RTX A2000. With a MSRP of $189 is this the Low profile card to buy for 1080P gaming?

    I think we can count our blessings here on this one. We are used to Nvidia ignoring the bottom end. So what did we get? We got a replacement for the LP GTX1650. We got a card with PCIE 4.0 x8 so we don't have to deal with the x4 issues of the RX6400. We have encoding, so we can stream and do all the fun software encoding we need to on the card (unlike the RX6400 & 6500). We have performance that is better than the GTX 1650 for about the same release price as the 1650 LP. And we are about $50-70 cheaper than most cheap used A2000s AND the card is new under warranty, AND has all the original accessories including the LP bracket. Sure the A2000 is better, but even used it's more expensive AND for now the 3050 is mostly available. I am glad to see this and it needed to happen. Now check your optiplex or HP office PC for the correct x16 slot and put this card in there ^_^

    • @davidbedard3201
      @davidbedard3201 2 місяці тому +1

      EXACTLY. It has a warranty. Though the A2000 could be had for $250 on Amazon, it now goes for about $525. This has sufficient performance for 1080P, and it has a lot of modern features the 1650 doesn't.
      It is interesting to see Nvidia make a lunge for the low-end market where AMD and Intel are supposed to play. I would like to see a 70-watt low-profile RX7500 (let's not have two somewhat close SKUs like we do with the 6400/6500. I would also like to see an Intel A380 replacement with about double the power.
      The other wildcard in this segment is the RTX 2000 Ada Generation. It is supposed to retail for about $650. The unknown piece is what will it do to A2000 prices. Will they go down or up?

    I've been subbed for years and I personally think it would be worth seeing a more standardized benchmarking suite with the same exact settings. You review enough hardware that I think it would be a meaningful addition to each video. Have lists that compare all LP's in 1080p low, medium, and high settings for each game. Same with Igpu's/apu's and sbc's in 720p/1080p or similar.

    IMO the additional power connector on the "4060" isn't a bad thing at all, means we finally have a fast option for LP cards that are not restricted to slot power.

    On i7-3770, 300W PSU, 16GB DDR3-1600, 1290x1200 monitor & GTX 1650 LP GDDR5 OC (PCIe v3 x16 slot). Want to give my system one last boost & GPU is only upgrade option. Would one of these make more sense than RTX A2000 6GB? Can still get good £ back for the 1650 & used A2000 similar price to new 3050 LP

    I don't know where you're seeing A2000 6GB cards for $230? Just looking on Amazon, the cheapest option was $310, pretty much what they sell for on eBay. Finding one for $250, let alone $200 is going to take some luck because those will be bought up in a flash. Considering people pay $170 to $180 for used 1650's on eBay, this at the same price for a new card, is pretty good for a SFF. Unless you're willing to spend $300+ this is the SFF card on the market. I agree that it should have had 8GB and it would be nice if there were a single slot option for those OEM system so people would stop suggesting the 6400. It's too bad they're all dual slot.

    @mclarenf1gtr99 2 місяці тому +1

    Around 200€ in my country. Performance/price ratio not good, rather buy used. But for a low profile/low power system I guess it is a good option.
    EDIT1 - Would have been good to compare it to the normal RTX3050 or RX6600 as those are the cheapest recommended cards out there.
    EDIT2 - Going with Time Spy score, RTX3050 6GB seems much slower than RTX3050 8GB and even GTX1660(non Super or ti). It is basically a GTX1650 Super with 6GB, DLSS/RTX support and much more efficient.

    One channel, Aussies, in particular rubbishes this card completely without even considering that it's target market is not compromised of gaming nerds testing and looking at fps longer than actually playing. 😂
    As far as I'm concerned they are snobs looking down at people just wanting to use a computer to game, rather than buying a gaming computer. This card is the gateway drug to convert console users to PC users, when suddenly a desktop computer is playing the latest games, albeit at lower quality, but still way better than ps4. Not needing the extra power connector makes all the difference, most people wouldn't think of opening their office PC and taking out the power supply and disconnecting it from maybe even proprietary devices like the motherboard connector (like OEMs often do). But slotting a card in like this? Easy, quick, voids no warranty, requires no special PSU, works on office PC's.🎉

  • @mattb9664
    @mattb9664 2 місяці тому

    When it comes to these low profile, lower cost cards, I say go ahead and push the graphics settings as hard as you can to get the best appearance without dipping the frame rate below 30 fps. It's not like it's a full blown, no tradeoff, high end PC where you're trying to maintain over 100 FPS with ultra settings in the newest games. You'd be amazed at how high some of the settings can be all be pushed if you are fine with only getting 50 FPS with the occasional 30 FPS dip.

    ETA Prime, thanks so much for this video! I look forward to your SFF build.
    A2000 prices are all over the place, and I do want a card with a good warranty, so I got pretty excited when I saw this unit. I would like to see how it does in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart in your SFF build. It is the only game my laptop 3060 mobile struggles with at 1080P, which I think is down to the VRAM amount and throughput.
    I am looking at pairing the 3050 6GB with a new HP 400 G9 SFF, or going full recycler and pairing it with an HP 800 G5 Core i7-9700, though I am also interested in seeing how the new RTX 2000 Ada Generation 16GB stacks up against the Ampere A2000. I suspect it will be a better value, though the A2000 12GB has faster VRAM.
