gpus without upscaling algorithms like NVIDIA's dlss which this card does support if we look Instead at the non-r trace performance it works out to be uh just about 23% lead which is in near lock step with the difference in price between the two cards it's almost like they planned it this way huh the performance is pretty much spot-on with the GTX 1660ti too and since it was a point of contention with the 6500 XT here's how the 3050 does on gen 3 it maintains within about 10% of normal performance on benchmarks that dripped up the 6500 XT most last time around which isn't too surprising since it's got those extra four lanes of PCI Express bandwidth to work with productivity is a little more cut and dry the RTX 350's ability to use RT cores for rendering and its inclusion of a media engine easily puts it at Double the performance of the 6500 XT and 33% more than the 1660ti while productivity needs vary from person to person this puts the overall average score at a 66% performance advantage over the 6500 XT if we exclude rate race gaming if you want to make it the fairest possible comparison and exclude blender it works out to roughly 30% I mean any way you look at it it wins a win as with the 6500 XT first party Founders Edition style cards don't exist so thermals will vary from board to board our EVGA XC card hit a peak of 74° which puts it at a little under the RX 6500 xt's Peak though it's so wash on average the cooler is actually a little underbuilt compared to our same cooler on the RTX 3060 XC so keep that in mind as we move on to the power graphs it's here that we see the radon 6500 XT is significantly more efficient than NVIDIA's new card although the RTX 3050 impressively draws less power than the GTX 1660 super and not by a little bit either and while you might have a tough time finding it in the core clocks graph the line and therefore the clock stability is at as smooth as any other in the lineup here which shouldn't be too surprising considering the thermal results this card seems to have a bit of Headroom to play with if you wanted to push the power Target but your mileage will of course vary depending on the card now the problem many of you may have is yeah that's great and all but this is supposed to be a 50 Series card and it's priced between the GTX 1660 super and TI that's where it gets murky there are many reasons why graphics cards are getting more expensive these days and and the unfortunate reality is it's possible that AMD really did scrape the barrel on the RX 6500 XT to hit that $200 price point if so we've now seen the compromises that have to be made to hit that price point that we once considered affordable and there really is no going back that leaves me with conflicting opinions about the RTX 3050 on one hand it delivers performance-wise and is exactly what we expected a further cut down ampere GPU and for the first time in a 50 Series card we're getting RT and tensor cores it's the RTX 2050 that we never got with no major drawbacks and because it's a down Bend GA 106 the same GPU that's in the RTX 3060 these are probably reject chips that have been sitting idle this whole time it'll add some Supply relief at least until they sell through on the other hand it's the RTX 2050 we never got and they're calling it RTX 3050 with a 60 series price tag this RTX tag X began with the first RTX cards in 2018 and that was well before the current scale apocalypse I just I worry that there's no incentive to reverse this trend even if manufacturing costs were returned to normal like say GPU mining ended today the reality is that both Supply constraints stretching until 2024 by some estimates and the sheer pent up demand from Gamers and Professionals for high performance gpus is just going to keep prices high it's not just one thing a lot of people will'll probably try to get an RTX 3050 at MSRP for new builds and if they do I think they'll be happy with them but the keyw there is try Intel can't enter the game soon enough and neither can AMD's expected desktop rdna 2 apus get subscribed by the way because we are totally going to be reviewing both of those things and both are going to be disruptive in their own ways in the meantime maybe it's time to lean on one of PC Gaming's greatest strengths and embrace its unparalleled back catalog thanks to mine for sponsoring this video mine is the Smart
