QUESTION

Is the RTX 2060 better than the RTX 3050?

The RTX 2060‘s processing power is 32% greater than the RTX 3050’s. When boosted, this performance gap increases to 42%. It also has 38% more ray tracing capability, making the RTX 2060 more capable, despite having less RAM and CUDA Cores.

Is RTX 3050 good for gaming?

If you plan on playing games at 1080p high settings you won’t be disappointed. The RTX 3050 can consistently hit high frames with very few frame drops in some of the most popular titles available. The only major downside to this card is its lack of performance in both 1440p settings and with Ray Tracing turned on.
