DON'T Buy the RTX 3050... get these graphics cards instead!

The RTX 3050 at the moment is a lackluster graphics card for it's current retail price and for most gamers, should be passed over in favor of two other graphics cards I mention in this video.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics cards mentioned:

Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050

AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT

AMD Radeon RX 6600

Honorable mention:

The RTX 2060 12gb costs the same as the 3050 8gb on Amazon & Newegg and is a much better value (and performing graphics card)

You have some beautiful cinematography man, top quality as always.

[supremeasura]

Damn man haven’t watched your content in a while, that beard looks great on you!

[samuelking]

As an animator/gamer I haven't found such in depth research about these cards...especially on their ability to handle content creation work loads. Thank you for time and effort...I really appreciate it.

[johnybravoooooo]

It's been a while since i watched your videos, I remember you taking a break some time ago.
Anyway, I hope you're happy and doing well man!

Appreciate the video cause I'm in the market for a card at this price range and performance. Some feedback on your graphs though:
1) The 1080p and 1440p labels on the right are super faint. I wasn't sure what the top and bottom bar graphs were representing until I spotted the labels.
2) Your legend labels yellow as 'Avg' and green as 'Min' but there isn't any yellow in the bar graph and green is being used exclusively for the NVIDIA gpu.

Scattervolt i subbed you back in 2017, when you were like 30k or sumn. Crazy how far you've come. God bless you

Just fyi to anyone interested but the last few days Amazon has had the gigabyte and powercolor variants of the RX 6650xt for $299-$320. For the same price or $20 more of the RX 6600xt. Pretty good deal, imo.

Hi there. I hope you don't mind if I make some friendly suggestions to help improve your video. You probably realize this now but your camera is mis-focused (it is back-focused on your shoulders instead of your face). Also, the room you are in seems to have a lot of reverb, so it would be good to bring in any sorts of "soft" things to reduce the reverb. You can put comforters or moving blankets on the floors to absorb the reverb. It might also be helpful to hang a moving blanket just out of your camera frame to help reduce reverb. Adding any soft furniture would help absorb reverb too. I am assuming that you are using a shotgun mic? If so, you can improve the audio noticeably by moving it closer so it is between one to two feet above your head (again, just slightly out of frame). And finally, you could use some EQ to take out some of the midrange punch. Anyway, I hope this is helpful and that I don't come off as a troll. Wishing you success.

Great vid, appreciate the time and effort you put in to these vids. The 2070 super comment caught my attention as well as the eth proof of stake. It’s the gamers moment and we appreciate the value driven content!

[arifyandwiprayogo]

Since RX66000 has been sweet spot for entry GPU. I've seen so many indonesia viewers on other local channel are consider more on 6600 rather than 3050.


Hopefully there will be tutorial how to define best solution on overclock gpu or ram 🤔

This is a good comparison but you should have also mentioned RSR. The upscaling with the Radeon cards that lets you upscale even with games that don't support FSR. Makes the comparisons more fair when running games with DLSS but not FSR.

[supervegeta]

Yes, please do more videos like this cause I’m trying to finish up the pc I built but I’m struggling with figuring out what gpu to get so I can finish it.

[god]

Thank you so much for the content creation part 🥺🥺🥺

[bignicnrg]

Appreciate the time you put into you research 💯. And yes I stay to the end!!

[HenrySavinon]

i got a rx6600xt last week to replace my old rx480 but made a huge mistake. My i5 6500 bottlenecks my gpu hard. SO now I have to spend another $350 to upgrade my mother board and cpu to a 5 5600x :(

[rainsfrd]

great video! I just finally upgraded from my r9 390x to a used 6600xt for $300 cad ($230 USD). Love it!

[sebastianpalacios]

Great review. I'm really curious to see the problems the Intel card has. Awesome content keep it up!

[ele]

I love this channel, thanks for the comparisons!

[BREEZYM]

Good to see you. Great video as always.
