Nvidia: RTX is faster with GeForce RTX 3050 than GTX 1650, which can’t

The GeForce RTX 3050 is around the corner. It will be the most affordable Nvidia card with RTX support. Much has changed since the first articles – the card is not built on a small GPU GA107 and will not have a TDP of 90 watts. The TDP will be 130 watts, but the power that can be expected to be about 20% over the Radeon RX 6500 XT will also go up (compared to the originally stated configuration). However, the price will also be higher – the official amount is expected to be around $ 249 ($ 199 for Radeon) and according to reports from card manufacturers, the final prices in stores will not get significantly lower than $ 400. After last year’s extreme growth, 8GB of GDDR6 memory costs $ 96 and makes the card attractive to cryptocurrers.

Nvidia decided to draw attention before the release – which she did. The question is whether in the way she intended:

It was tested with ray-tracing turned on in combination with DLSS with an output resolution of 1920 × 1080, which means that the image was rendered at 1440 × 810 and then DLSS was enlarged to 1920 × 1080. The models with which it is compared do not know how, so their performance is “0”.

Some editors were interested in the presentation, and Jar’s Walton of Tom’s Hardware, for example, ignored the fact that the end of the NDA had not yet been reviewed, and revealed how the GeForce RTX 3050 was doing against ten other cards:

GeForce RTX 3050 is expected to be released on February 27.
