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 Ti is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 249. 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 Ti, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
Spec for spec, this RTX 3050 Ti leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 1650, by boasting 79.5 % more fps. The RTX 3050 Ti has 6 GB RAM compared to the GTX 1650 's 4 GB video memory.
In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 3050 Ti blows past the GTX 1650 and, amazingly, even the GTX 1660 as well. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3050 Ti 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 Dying Light 2, Total War: Warhammer III, Borderlands 3, Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core VI at 63 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.
