Yes, the GeForce RTX 5050 provides good value for money within its price range, of around £329, when bought new. It surpasses the benchmark performance of GeForce RTX 2060, the closest competitor within this price bracket, by a margin of 33.9%.
In the used market, the GeForce RTX 5050 fails to justify its value for money. It lags behind the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti which outperforms it by a lead of 45.8% in 3DMark benchmark.
Recommended PSU for the RTX 5050: 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.
