Is RTX 3050 Worth It?
No, despite its higher price point of $505, the GeForce RTX 3050 proves disappointing when purchased new. For a similar price, Arc B580 has 136.2% better 3DMark score compared to GeForce RTX 3050.
In the used market, the GeForce RTX 3050 fails to justify its value for money. It lags behind the Radeon RX 5700 XT which outperforms it by a lead of 51.7% in 3DMark benchmark.
PSU for RTX 3050
Recommended PSU for the RTX 3050: about 500 W — the card draws 130 W, a CPU such as the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X about 105 W, and doubling the total leaves headroom for transient spikes. Pick a unit from a reputable tier of the Cultists Network PSU Tier List.
