Cheapest RTX Vs Most Expensive: 3050 vs 3090 Ti 

I don't see how tier-comparisons are "pointless" in fact it's very helpful determining just how much card one needs, no not pointless at all.

Using the 3090 Ti on a 1080p monitor seems just as reasonable as getting groceries in an underground racing twin turbo Lamborghini.

I would've thought the difference between the two would've just been 40 across the board

The fact that you can have an overkill cooling solution for a 3090 TI is hilarious

Seriously dude, your sense of humor is producing the best videos in this tech dry spell!!

Still waiting for Nvidia to release a 3030 so I can hear Dawid say "RTX Thiddy-Thiddy"

Dawid makes 11 minutes of Saturday morning better for an extremely sick man. Thanks Dawid.

NOBODY: "I am either going to get an Nvidia 3050 or 3090 Ti. Not sure yet. I hope somebody make a comparison video of these 2 cards." DAWID: "Say no more, fam!"

1:38 "Although when you compare there nud3s"

I am not gonna lie, I am thoroughly suprised at how well the 3050 can handle itself

That rtx 3050 looks like it has an eating disorder

I learnt 2 things in this video. 1 being GTAV might as well have come out at this same time as the triassic period VGA port and 2. Dawids power supply must've been holding on for dare life running Cyberpunk at 4K ultra.

Just bought the rtx 3050 and I'm very happy with it and never regret it, it can run all of my fav games ultra settings at high frame rates, I rly don't need 4k or Ray tracing,1080p is rly enough to me, i only bought the 3050 for the dlss features and 60fps+ capabilities and for the great price, thx for the video

All I took from this video is that the 3090ti requires two suburban households in the Philippines to power it.

It's a shame, the 3050 would be an amazing budget card - if it had been released at a budget card price - we don't discuss the 6500xt around here lol. That power draw on the 3090ti though...damn, given current electric prices I'm kinda happy I'm still chugging along with my 1660s for now lol :D.

try running the 3090 ti on a mini pcei slot with a dual core cpu🤣🤣🤣 I think the 3050 on a normal system will outperform that

Imagine now when the RTX 4090 comes out, enjoy seeing the watt measuring go at 500W+

7:43 With the power maxed on my EVGA FTW3 3080 Ti - I get those EXACT power numbers, ~400 to 440 watts in Control, 1440p maxed everything including RT. I haven't seen as much power used in most other games though, it will usually land at 360 to 410 watts in most games with unlocked frame rates, but I DO lock FPS to 143 in NVCP because I have a 144Hz Adaptive sync monitor. So a good bit of the time I am between 220 and 300 watts.

I got an EVGA 3050 for MSRP on their website at $249. I wish they could've kept stock a little longer because they were selling them for $229 just 1.5 weeks ago.

this video made me feel much better about saving 1000 bucks. i love my 3050, but ive obviously been curious. seeing as how i still game at 1600x900 and i dont plan on changing anytime soon, i would like to thank you very much for posting this "pointless" video

I have a 3080, 5800x and 32GB RAM @ 3200Mhz and everything runs great for my high standards (especially since I recently got the Odyssey G7 monitor with a 1440p, 240hz display). With that being said though, I think the best bang for buck at least on Nvidia's side would have to be a 3060 ti or a 3070. It's cool to see how powerful the 3090 ti is, but I feel like the cost isn't even close to worth it once you get to the 3080 ti or above. On the other side though, I think the 3050"s price point is pretty good for a more lower-mid tier build for someone who could be wanting to enter the PC side of gaming say for around $700 (especially since GPU prices have finally been falling a lot lately). As for resolution though, I still feel like 4K isn't worth the performance hits just yet, so for 1080p I'd probably try and go for a 3060 or higher or a 3070/3080 if you're wanting great 1440p performance.

dawid i was here since you were around 130k subs and didnt have sponsors now seeing you getting sponsored everytime and almost triple the subs u were when I first subbed makes me happy

i bought a 3050, just because i could, for 250 no regrets at all, it runs everything i need at over 100fps with mixed settings

Imagine the power draw after OC, it should be insane! I'm curious to see a comparaison between stock vs OC vs undervolt for the performance and power draw. Beside that, great video, continue like that you're the best

Isnt the rtx 2060 the cheapest?

The most impressive part of this video is actually watching you talk, gesture and drive in Cyberpunk's car physics all at the same time.

Honestly, this has given me a slightly different perspective of GPU oomph relative to pricing... The 1080p non-RT versus 4K RT comparison is very sound, it's what it all boils down to. You play to the strengths of your system, and a lot of hardware can work for you. It's not like 1080p is as blurry as not wearing my glasses or the aliasing slices my retina, it's just... not as pristine.

This is like seeing who would win in a race vs Usain Bolt vs a one-legged blind man, and i'm here for it!

To be fair the price difference vs the frame… MSRP the 3090 is 6 times the price, so does the card perform 6x better? I think the 3050 won if price was factored in. Great video!

My buddy and I found a couple of RTX 3080’s at our local parts store a couple of years ago. I’m happy with it.

They're exactly the same thing but completely different. Also, as pointed out here, and as I've learned on my own having bought a 3060 ti when I wanted a 3080, you can get great performance on a lesser card as long as you're willing to turn down settings.

"Although, if you compare their nudes..." I wasn't expecting that wording and burst out laughing.

I upgraded from a gtx 1070 to a RTX 3050 and I love it. I am not really into 4k or 2k gaming so with my card, I just stick with 1920-1080p :)

I love how you describe things with the accent and colorful, descriptive language.

That gpu power draw is more than my whole system (i7 10700+ 3070) lol

Me who just bought a keyboard based on Dawid's "1 month with a terrible pre-build" video: ...almost got me there

Nice video as always looking forward to see more comparisons for gpus that I’ll never get my hands on

I absolutely love that you adopted the 'tie' pronunciation. it makes me laugh every time.

I've learned two things here that I've suspected - 3060TI/3070 are the sweet spots in the 30 series, and that we really need to consider not going so ham for graphics when power draw is like this, holy crap. 😂

'how much more gaming power can the oligarchs wield?' is an amazing intro line, Dawid. LMAO

I really like the 3050, would like it a lot more if it were priced like the old 1050ti, but it can't be helped.

Great explanation! same experience just 4k vs 1080p.

I would love to get a new gpu but they still cost to much for my taste.

"Today, we're doing another priceless comparison" I love how he just clubs you over the head with it lol

The baby vs the raid boss

I have an RTX 3050. Didn't dissapoint me in any case, for a budget gamer it felt like a dream. Although, Not exactly made for 4K gameplay, although you can get playable fps by lowering graphics by a little.I expect this card to work till atleast 2026.

as a 1080p 280hz monitor owner i think im good with a gtx 1080ti for a while wont be upgrading that monitor for some time got it a year ago so i think a 3070 would be the next step in a year from now or a 4060 if that comes out

insane how good cyberpunk looks am just blown away. I got a 1440p monitor but had not had the chance to use it because I sold my GPU pretty fast after I got it. So Am still on standby at how most games will look. I tried Far Cry 4. Looked really good!

Wow!

Dawid it will be interesting to make a video series that’s about high end in 4K vs mid range or low end in 1080p or even 720p , for example it looks like RTX 3050 in 1080p is the same as an RTX 3080 in 4K

Based on the performance, The 3090 ti is at least 500 USD overpriced

The comparison of a $1 frozen steak dinner to a professionally prepared steak at a five star restaurant that requires a mortgage on your house.

The cheapest rtx is GeForce RTX 2070

That keyboard ASMR at the beginning gets a like

I wonder what the electric bill is going to be like for someone gaming with the 3090Ti...I would like to see the before and after.

Haha. This is like a drag race between a Lamborghini and a Smart Car with two flat tires.

I am thoroughly suprised at how well the 3090 can still handle itself

I can only imagine how much my electric bill would hate me for pulling over 450w from the GPU alone.

Lil Baby 3050 is so capable at 1080P though

prob the best most informative 30 series video so far.

Pointless? Nah this is the best!

I actually love this comparison. Something like this is a good indicator of what kind of gpu you actually need. Or like you said it lets someone know that they're not getting the most out of their card depending on the resolution. Obviously people would choose the best card if they could but this shows that while you may not gain as much performance you won't really benefit unless you step up your monitor as well.

So most games are absolutely playable with the 3050, which makes it a good card for most people that want to have on their computer

When the 4090 Ti comes out, you should make a 3050 vs 4090 Ti video

Thank you for the comparison. I was stuck between exactly which one of these two to choose from.

the wage labor and oligarch side-by-side killed me

Perfect video for my birthday. Thanks! :)

The commentary at the end of the video made me laugh a lot. and also this video represents the power of the 3090 way more than a benchmark only video, it is easier to understand than the ltt coverage was, since you compare the power of the higher end card at higher end res, and the lower end card at the lower end res.

Hey Dawid, I didn't know this until recently, but Zalman sells tower flower coolers that are relatively cheap. Might be worth looking into. And, as always, hilarious video =P

It's odd that we're all concerned with power consumption, yet simultaneously we have a GPU that consumes nearly a half a kilowatt by itself. We're also at this weird phase where unless you're running 4k, there isn't a reason to go beyond even a 3060 ti, when it comes to gaming anyway. Kinda awesome though. So long as you stick to 1080p, you'll be rockin' for years with any modern GPU.

cant they make a keyboard thats quiet af instead of loud af xD, great vid as always!

I'm surprised by how well the RTX 3050 can stand up on its own

I remember the time in the early 90's when some geek said to me - "a keyboard has to sound like a typewriter" - still a great marketing gag :)

I'm still very much happy rocking my 2070 super oc edition, I can run all the games I play at 1440p and high settings and still get great fps. I will eventually upgrade but not for a while yet.

"pretend like you are gaming at 4k , jus a little bit blurry" lmao bro , you funny asf

I was hoping you were comparing the best 3050 vs the cheapest 3090

3:33 as you said that my grandparents internet stopped loading

Dawid: cool guy

In this video, Dawid used more electricity than would be needed to power a small country for a year.

Was DLSS disabled for cyberpunk? That's the main reason to get a 30 series, no?

Dawid Does Tech Stuff: **shows typing of the keyboard in the sponsor** Me: Press the spacebar tho

I'm starting to read "Ti" as "Tie" when I watch more Dawid video

I recently bought a Corsair keyboard to replace the "mechanical" corsair which broke. After opening up I found out that the function keys are membrane and this had got damaged when I spilt my tea over the keyboard. The mechanical keys all survived 100%. I was happy to buy another Corsair, but all I could find was the LED backlit ones. which I DO NOT recommended. My keyboard runs off batteries and is wireless, however the key LEDs run the battery down so QUICKLY I have to leave it plugged into the USB power supply all the time.

I've got a RTX 3050. Overclocked to its limits. And it is not bad at all, for the games i play. I have a 1440p resolution monitor, and i can pretty much get around 100-150 FPS on most games at their highest settings. Which is very impressive. And compared to the GPU i had before, the upgrade was worth it so far. (I had a 1050 TI before, the difference is incredible, and yes i am a budget gamer.)

Last August I built my very first 100% bought every part at micro center computer I went with a Ryzen 3 3200 g because it was in my budget and because it had graphics on board as you couldn't get your hands on any cards at that time.. I literally just got an open box evga xc RTX 3050 from microcenter for 285 total and so far it does everything I could ask going from an APU thank you for this video.. watching your videos was one of the reasons I decided to build....anyone reading this..what would be a good am4 CPU to pair with my new GPU? Thanks in advance

Do a video on this liquid cooled overclockable PSU please! --> FSP Hydro PTM+ 1200W

If I was only able to watch one RU-vid channel, it would have to be Dawid Does Tech Stuff!

were you 2 finger typing in the corsair ad spot at the start just to trigger people? lol

You reckon upgrading from a 2060 to a 3050 would be a good idea

the fact that you call it "tie" is absolutely great xd

Funny enough, earlier today I was looking for a basics video on overclocking ryzen cpu's, and stumbled across a (pre-pubescent) Dawid vid from 4 years ago. Man does that facial hair assortment suit you

If you put it in relative terms in cyberpunk the 3050 was doing around 17fps @ 130W and the 3090ti 60fps @ 450W. if you scale the 3050 power usage accordingly you get 458W. So in terms of performance/watt they are roughly equal in that case.

Most of your videos are like "whyyyy?" ... but entertaining as fuck !!!

The Corsair K70, the baby of my K100, great video BTW, try some Tarkov on that 3050

somehow the 23% reduction in UTI claim worked, I subscribed

If you put an air cooler on the 3090 you got yourself a bonus air fryer for those late snack chicken wings.

I like how you have relevant sponsors :)

Always wanted this sort of comparison 👍👍

How he says : "16 fps? That's fine." Just can't get this one meme out of my head right now...

The 3090ti power draw is like Artoria in a buffet. Just taking whatever it can get it’s hand on and chugging it down
