Nvidia’s new budget GPU is officially one to avoid

Nvidia lifts the lid on the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB, but this new affordable graphics card is based on old tech with disappointing specs.

Haven’t the xx50 series always been garbage? I feel like they only make them to boost the appearance of the “value” of more powerful cards.

When’s the last time an xx50 series GPU got a positive review?

750ti and 1050ti were pretty well liked since they didn’t need external power (easy to toss into a cheap pre built) and were a reasonable price.

These days they aren’t even a reasonable price though.

I thought that 750ti is quite capable for what it is.

6GB in 2024…

The 50 series have always been garbage but when a reviewer calls for a magnificent 20 something compared to a pathetic 18 of the same… That’s like a 10% difference. Seems almost a bit harsh.

The 3050 was released 2 years ago. How is that their new budget card?
