RTX 3050 benchmark with Ryzen 3 2200G 1080p, 1440p, Ultrawide, 4K benchmarks at Low Quality
It is clear that the RTX 3050 is a significantly more capable high-end card that can play AAA titles at 1080p/1440p with 50-60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is excellent for RTX 3050 against the competition in budget mid-range cards. The RTX 3050 's power requirements are reasonable and it is very efficient compared to the competition. This combination between RTX 3050 and AMD Ryzen 3 2200G has less than 15% bottleneck in many games and can cause minor FPS loss. In short the performance is exceptional, there's no question that this is one of the most powerful single GPU out there in 2025 . With current 4096 MB RAM, the RTX 3050 can have very few memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games.

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.
The RTX 3050 sits between the GTX 1660 Ti and the GTX 1660 SUPER, falling slower than GTX 1660 Ti by 0.9% and faster than GTX 1660 SUPER by 2.1%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Its results are actually indistinguishable from those of the GTX 1660 Ti.
