NVIDIA GeForce 3050 Ti - mid-range graphics card
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti was released in May 2021 and is the second smallest variant of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 series at this time. It is based on the GA107 Ampere chip. It also offers 4 GB GDDR6 vRAM, a memory bandwidth of 128 bits.This puts it between the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q and NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti. In contrast to these, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti also offers ray tracing, but the performance is hardly sufficient for this. The available Tensor cores can help to increase performance in some games using DLSS. Of course, as with almost all NVIDIA graphics cards, G-Sync is supported.
There are different variants of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti with different power consumption. These range from 35 to 80 watts. The performance of the graphics card also depends on this TGP. Depending on the version, the clock rate is between 735 and 1695 MHz. Depending on the cooling and space in the notebook, a suitable variant can be installed.
Graphics card for price-conscious gamers
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti is a solid entry-level to mid-range graphics card that offers enough performance for smooth gaming in Full HD at high settings if ray tracing is not used. Then games such as Hitman 3, Outriders and Watch Dogs Legion are no problem.
If you play a lot of games, you should opt for a more powerful graphics card, such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060. On the other hand, price-conscious gamers will be happy with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti.
