The lack of a backplate makes the EVGA XC Black a bit of an eyesore in an era when backplates have largely become the norm, but it’s otherwise inoffensive aesthetically, with a blacked-out design.Īnd now the stage is set. This dual-slot graphics card sticks to reference specs and eschews cost-adding extras like a dual-BIOS switch or a backplate to help it land at Nvidia’s $249 price point for the RTX 3050.

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3050 XC Black sent over for testing largely mirrors the design of the RTX 3060 XC Black we benchmarked before. Instead, it’s relying on custom cards from partners to carry the load in today’s scorching-hot graphics card market. Hallelujah.Īs with the RTX 3060, Nvidia isn’t rolling out one of its snazzy Founders Edition models for the RTX 3050. Nvidia Broadcast, latency-lowering Nvidia Reflex, ShadowPlay, NVENC encoding, DLSS, Nvidia Image Scaling, it all works.

Since the RTX 3050 comes with all the hardware and software as its other Nvidia siblings, just in pared-down form, that means it also supports Nvidia’s wide ecosystem of killer software features. The extra memory capacity also helps with ray tracing, since flipping on that feature places much more stress on a graphics card’s VRAM.

That’s good for 224GB per second of memory bandwidth-slower than the RTX 3060’s 360GB/s over its wider bus, but still a-ok for the 1080p gaming this card is intended for.

It comes with 8GB of GDDR running at 14Gbps, all over a 128-bit bus. Nvidia also gave the RTX 3050 a standard memory configuration that will have no problem playing games at 1080p today or in the future. The RTX 3050, on the other hand, handles ray tracing like a champ, especially in games that also support Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) tech.

The Radeon RX 6500 XT ostensibly includes ray tracing hardware of its own, but that GPU is so stripped-down, you can’t practically enable the cutting-edge lighting feature in games.

The RTX 3050 also wields a full array of Nvidia’s dedicated second-gen RT cores to enable real-time ray tracing, and 80 third-gen tensor cores to help with DLSS, Nvidia Broadcast, and other AI-infused tasks. But it has fewer CUDA cores-2560, versus 3584-along with fewer ROPs and texture units. The RTX 3050 tops out at the same 1,777MHz boost clock speed as a reference spec, matching the RTX 3060’s rate. Push beyond that, and performance stumbles hard. That’ll help it evade the attention of crypto miners and hopefully free up supply on the streets, but AMD’s memory approach restricts the 6500 XT to 1080p gaming on Medium or High settings. AMD’s cheap card strips out various features we’ve typically come to expect, and packs just 4GB of onboard memory with a scant 64-bit bus. The Radeon RX 6500 XT arrived just last week, and AMD made some hard compromises to hit its low $199 price point. And as the GeForce RTX 3050 we’re reviewing today shows, Nvidia and AMD couldn’t be going about it any more differently.ĪMD landed the first strike.

It has plenty of memory and doesn’t make any unusual technical compromises, unlike AMD’s rival Radeon RX 6500 XT, but that potentially makes it a target for GPU miners-which could mean bad things for price and availability.Ī year and a half into the latest generation of graphics cards-one plagued by chip shortages, logistics woes, tariffs, crypto demand, and scalpers-we’re finally starting to see the first GPUs for PC gamers on a tighter budget. Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3050 delivers great 1080p gaming performance with modern features, including capable ray tracing chops and DLSS.

Mining-friendly configuration doesn’t bode well for price or availability on the streets $250 price feels very optimistic.No frills on EVGA XC Black model tested.$100 more than last generation’s xx50-class card.
