Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy an RTX 3050 card only cheap: reviewers liked its 1080p performance, DLSS support, low temperatures and big lead over the RX 6500 XT. Skip it near launch price, because it's slower than the RX 6600 in most games and loses to the older RTX 2060. The RTX 5050 and 5060 are much faster.

Best for

Budget 1080p gamers.

Not for

Anyone who can afford an RTX 5060.
