Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3050 by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 3050 could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is faster by 77% for 1440p gaming. However, RTX 3050 is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RTX 3050 to RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB

The RTX 4070 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Ada Lovelace set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 399. NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Ada Lovelace graphics card inside the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

Spec for spec, this RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 3060 Ti, by boasting 7 % more fps. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 3060 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Forspoken, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Atomic Heart, Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk 2077 at 69 fps to 77 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 72 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Red Dead Redemption 2, A Plague Tale: Requiem, F1 22, Dying Light 2, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart at 65 fps to 65 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Gears of War 5, Need For Speed: Heat, God of War, Forza Horizon 5, Resident Evil 2 at 62 fps to 69 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 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.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Overwatch 2, Valorant at 64 fps to 138 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 101 fps.
