True. But at least the 3050 has decent support for RTX. And it has DLSS 2.x.

Better than nothing but it's still a poor showing.

Honestly trash raytracing performance even with dlss. It should not be on mind when buying gpu like this.

At low RT settings, with DLSS, and 1080p, this card will be able to get 60 on a few games.
Much better than a 6500XT, that can´t even get 30 fps, regardless of settings.

Amd rx6500xt is destroyed. It should cost half the price of rtx3050. Amd should never release that card...

Nvidia will dominate enthusiasts with 3090ti and budget gamers with 3050.

How can you call this a budget card if it costs 300-400 bucks? Both AMD and Nvidia will sell all they can manufacture to miners anyway.
