Our Verdict: Upgrading from RTX 3050 to RTX 2060 is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 3050 .

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

The RTX 2070 might be the mid-range flagship of the latest Turing set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most entry-level PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 2060 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 350. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 2060 SUPER, the RTX 2060 's price is getting more discount.

NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Turing graphics card inside the RTX 2060, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. The RTX 2060 is much more expensive than the GTX 1060 6GB as it costs a whopping $ 350. Compare this to the GTX 1060 6GB, which came originally at a price of $ 254. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the RX 5700 which costs $ 349.

Spec for spec, this RTX 2060 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 1060 6GB, by boasting 60.9 % more fps. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 2060 blows past the GTX 1060 6GB and, amazingly, even the GTX 1070 as well.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 2060 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 1060 6GB and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 5700, the RTX 2060 was -4.3 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Elden Ring, Marvel's Avengers, Dying Light 2, Total War: Warhammer III at 61 fps to 65 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 63 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Gears of War 5, Need For Speed: Heat, Final Fantasy XV, Resident Evil 4, Far Cry 6 at 60 fps to 61 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 61 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Overwatch 2, Valorant at 70 fps to 148 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 109 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050

The RTX 3060 might be the mid-range flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most entry-level PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3050 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 200. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 3050 Ti, the RTX 3050 's price is getting more discount.

NVIDIA ’s xx50 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Ampere graphics card inside the RTX 3050, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. The RTX 3050 is much more expensive than the GTX 1650 as it costs a whopping $ 200. Compare this to the GTX 1650, which came originally at a price of $ 149. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the RX 5500 XT 4GB which costs $ 169.

Spec for spec, this RTX 3050 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 1650, by boasting 63 % more fps. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 3050 blows past the GTX 1650 and, amazingly, even the GTX 1660 as well.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 5500 XT 4GB, the RTX 3050 was 40.1 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3050 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 1650 and it really justifies an upgrade.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core VI, F1 22, Borderlands 3, Anthem at 60 fps to 63 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 61 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play World War Z, GreedFall, Hitman 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Spider-Man Remastered at 63 fps to 68 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps.
