I believe some people are going to team green -specifically- for their NVENC technology, which AMD are sorely lacking.
That and dlss, they also have some good software, nvidia highlight specifically. The tensor cores (ai cores) can be used to enhance sound quality as well. Not to mention nvidia drivers are just better, I have a friend that owns a 6600xt which after updating the drivers, can’t run above 30fps in most games.
Something is making me feel like you may be slightly bias. 🤣
It must be a small niche if it's targeting people who care about RT, NVENC, and DLSS, but are happy with a 3050.
The RX6600 is ~20-25% faster at rasterization, but the 3050 has second generation RT cores, which lets it comfortably beat the RX6600 in any ray tracing or DLSS games, plus the rest of Nvidia's feature set.
The really sad thing is, the current 3050s are all using GA106 dies. They really should only be 5-10% slower than the 3060 (and called 3050 Tis) but Nvidia cut them down 30% to be the same as the unreleased GA 107s. Thus, they're barely in stock, even at uncompetitive prices.
Horrible price why would you even consider this a deal? This card is on it's 3rd rebrand now and has been down to $290. It's a GTX 1070 with dlss.
I mean the RTX 2060 is only $20 more and available everywhere. A GTX 1080 rebrand with dlss. That card is priced nothing special either.
Form factor. If you have a tiny SFF, most of the 6600 and old gen cards are simply too big. The 3050s have a much larger range of cards that are small enough and all the smaller 6600xt are seemingly more expensive.
I agree with you on your main points but could you clarify what you mean by 3rd rebrand in this case? Also when was this ever $290? I'm confused.
4th rebadge actually. 980ti=1070=1660ti=3050. 1660ti was $290 in late 2020.
Ah, gotcha.
You've got your numbers mixed up somewhere. The 2060 and 1080 are pretty close, but the 3050 is only 5-10% behind them. It's more like a slightly slower 1070 Ti but with more features. It also has second generation RT cores, so the RT/DLSS is significantly better than on the 2060, which is comparable to RDNA 2.
Either way, it's definitely not 1070 class.
And the worst is some prebuilt with RTX3050 are asking like $1200 or more! Who on earth is that stupid and will buy those?
These numbers are from the latest Hardware Unboxed 6 game (medium quality preset) average benchmarks for 2022 (https://youtu.be/gMUcZ7978rc?t=570). It doesn't take into consideration Ray Tracing, DLSS, etc I am aware 3k res isn't a thing, but I averaged the 1440p and 4k resolution performance stats. I personally run a 1440p ultrawide, so 3k is about right for me.

Brilliant, would be great as a wiki
Changes with every deal posted though..
True the pricing does.. FPS bit is a solid reference, and even just being able to sight past deal references helps make that hodl or no hodl decision
@cycloneaussie: Will be very useful in the coming weeks with the new amd gpus hopefully hitting shelves and seeing how they stack up
Pay more for 6600 xt
Value isn't great here.
If you needed a card for gaming, you'd be better lifting budget slightly for a 6600/XT, or a 3060 if really you need nVidia.
At this level I'd probably make do with integrated graphics.
A gtx 3050 is slower then a 1070 Ti in various games.
This card at 275-350 would make better sense
latest comparison, just eat a few less macca's happy meals & get a RTX3060 instead

nope
The price has been reduced. was $429, now $399.
I suppose if someone is dead-set on nvidia this is a decent option, but this price/perf is kind of shit. The same price could get an RX6600 right now with +30% (+40%?) performance.
