A 1000$ PC with a 3050 - this just feels so wrong ...
would rather go with a 2060 or 1080!both looks better for video editing!
@@wombat5252 true its so sad to see everything midrange just die...
Yea... At my stores rtx3050 cost 450+ eur. the rx6600 cost over 700eur... Let that sink in.
Hi from the future, prices dropped like A LOT
Sigh
"We used the 3050 because it was sent to us". About sums it up.
Argument sounds good on paper, more features vs more raw speed. In real world situations though, I don't think it pans out. The recommendation for most people should be the 6600 in this case. DLSS is a great feature, but are you using AI to just barely get the same performance you could be getting natively with the more powerful card? Ray tracing is cool, but on a low end 3050 it feels more like a gimmick.
It's still a gimmick on all cards this generation, all my friends with 3090s turn it off, it's just not worth the performance hit.
Yes but if u want rt dlss is huge
Especially because DLSS upscales 1080p and both are 1080p cards, So what the hell are you upscaling on 1080p? :D Are you planning to use 1440p monitor with 3050? And Ray Tracing is unusable on both GPU...
DLSS doesn't really have am application at 1080p it does at 1440p or higher but these card can't really do those resolutions. As far a Raytracing even thought the 3050 can do it better the FPS hit is still bad enough to not make it worth it. Nvenc is better for streaming only recording video editing and uploading both cards have an equal encoder. Assuming your build uses AMD Zen 3 CPU you get SAM that is better optimised for 6000 GPU's than resizable bar and can make a sizeable difference in some modern AAA games.
NVENC is crucial for certain video editing operations and for streaming.
id personally take the rx 6600 because even though the 3050 is better with rt its still not fast enough to enjoy games with rt. if I had either card id be playing with rt off anyways so ill take the 6600 for faster regular gaming performance
but dlss tho
@@rk3senna61 I’ve used dlss. Not a huge fan. Many games look noticeably worse than native and not all games even have dlss
@@karldee7269 non existent for me
RSR on rx 6600 tho. if u play 2k or 4k this is so damn useful.
@@karldee7269 My RX 580 8GB doesn't have many driver issues, and when AMD introduces driver issues I just roll back.
Imma disagree with you.
RT on these cards are rather ridiculous.
With it being about 20%faster than the 3050 in GPU bound games, DLSS also becomes a rather moot point. Why have less performance, matching with DLSS, to get same performance, but worse quality? Its ridiculous!
Yeah, that was a ridiculous comparison. No one's getting low end cards for ray tracing. It doesn't really make sense to sacrifice 20% actual performance for a gimmick. Yes, RT on low end cards is a gimmick. It hardly looks better enough to justify the performance hit. Who cares if its 44FPS or 24FPS on Cyberpunk. Both are not worth using for RT.
@@khoitrinh1 imo having the option is nice
@@anusmcgee4150 having an 'option' will little or no real world benefit is not really an 'option' worth a damn. Especially not worth giving up real world performance and/or real world, hard earned money.
your point is moot lol, DLSS is awesome.a 1080p upscaled to 4k with dlss 2.0 looks better than native 4k and youll get 60 fps,FSR looks like someone smeared gel all over the screen.FSP is ridiculous, and AMD's ray tracing performance...ouch,If you dont care about upscaling or ray tracing get the amd card but if you do and basically except a few dont use dlss 2.0(it might be 2.1 now) and more and more games are using ray tracing get nvidia at least til next gen AMD cards come out
@@kyles8524 sure buddy. I have both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. I have tested both, and, while DLSS is better than FSR, its nowhere near "better than native" anything lower than DLSS Quality and the reconstruction starts to fall apart. Balanced is still playable, but does not look as good at all. Why use DLSS when you can get same performance at native rendering? These GPUs are both bad at raytracing. You would put it on, admire the view, then disable it and finish the game. Trust me I do that on the 3060 and RX6800. Ray tracing is nowhere near the point of actually being playable, unless you like powerpoint presentations.
Your video production quality has improved so much, you have a great team over there!
The fact that you can get a 6600 for 250 right now is just mind blowing and definitely worth it
just got one for 229 new
I got mine for 120 new off of Facebook marketplace
@@KingJordanIV That's crazyyy
209.99
I got one in 11/2023 for $130.
the last time checked we don't use any of these rigs anymore when Tech Host Farm was recommended for us
Nah, if the only argument is the Ray Tracing(RT) you are still wrong. 6600 is close to RTX 3060's out of the box performance, so 1:1 should be with GTX 1070 (I know it is older but still got the same power without RT), or RX 5600XT. Also people consider using RT with higher end GPU's like 3070 and up, and they are still mad that their fps is 50% of what it should be and they just dont use it. And what does it left for the entry level 3050? RT only on 720p ot 1080p and 75% res. scaling.
Uh I'm sry what... I politely disagree. The 3050 is beat here. The only advantage is the Nvenc encoder. RT and DLSS are not a good argument unless the card being used can sustain a playable framerate/pacing.... and I'm sry IMO that means 60fps 1080p medium or better. FSR is not a competitor to DLSS it is a Frame scaling technique with temporal effects not AI reconstruction. In this tier product RT is just a tech demo not an actual selling point.
If the 3050 was 250 bucks and the 660 was 329 I would say maybe the 3050 is the better value, but as someone who has rocked a lot of nvidia gpu’s (I like AMD, but until the 6000 series they just didn’t have a high end gpu for me to buy, and I was just able to get a 3000 card in stock before I was able to get a 6000) at the same price 6600 is the much better value. His argument about doing any type of professional work is dumb, as anyone who has to get real work done would be better off spending more money on a higher end card in the first place. Since if you are making money on the card the amount of time you save with a higher end card pays for itself.
I agree. My 6600 can ray trace too, and it also tanks. Not good on either!
However, check out Teardown. The game is ENTIRELY ray traced on any card, yet runs great.
Move fast and you'll see speckles for a moment as it renders the missing rays.
Yea, I agree same here. I just forgot to make clear in this specific comparison where both have the same or equal availability and price the rx 6600 is the clear winner.
Hey do you only Test on medium settings? The difference will be bigger on high/ultra settings because the workload on the cpu will reduce and the gpu has much more to do.
lmao, don't use these rigs they would burn you out. stick with Tech Host Farms
Hey brett love your videos. How about a refresh of this video now with the FSR 2.0 update as to which is the better bang for buck as also the card has dropped to 300$.
Yo, I love the black geo panels on the wall. Any chance you could share where you get got them?
Amazon
Combining RX 6600 with newer Ryzen cpu gives you option of using BIOS option of Smart Access Memory which in mycase improved fps in msot games around 10%
can rx6500xt have it?
@@xxxmlgprofaping420noscopex8 All 6000 series cards with ryzen 5 series and higher can use smart access memory. I also think you need a 400 series motherboard and higher to use it as well. So if you have a ryzen 5 5600x, rx 6500xt and a b550 motherboard you can use sam.

Since were on the subject of Microcenter, Steve from Gamers Nexus did a really cool vid where he went to check out the store during the Newegg controversy and ended up helping a random guy pick out parts for his pc and even ended up buying it for him. It's one of the best vids I've seen in a long time from anyone.
You may not have been wrong about the card, but you were wrong when you compared a piece of pie to a whole cake lol.
Get it together my man
Hey guys! Can you tell me which of these 2 cards is the best choice for 'adobe after effects'? (No 3d work, motion Graphics mainly). They both are priced equally in my country currently.
Thanks!
nvidia marketing really did an excellent job on their RTX lineup. i mean, few years ago people wouldnt even consider 2060 ray tracing worthy and call it a gimmick. fast forward to 2022, somehow people buy 3050 for its ray tracing performance.
and 2060 performs better than 3050 too😷

Thank you for great content!
I don't think it really matter you only get a sizeable uplift if you using SAM and you need Zen 3 for that his machine was Intel.
Excellent Benchmarking! would like to have some Overclocking videos
If your going to use the nvenc encoder get the 3050 the tay tracing is a moot point if your going to dip below 60fps anyway.
Do you think its still fine to get 3050 for around 420 USD (I dont live in the US) or is it too overpriced? As of now its more of a want than need for me
Why would I be making 30k monthly on tech host farms online mining service and still want to use these machines that create noises and needs heavy maintenance? I am glad I sold all my helium and bobcat miners when I started with tech host farms.
You don't have to worry about having physical mining machine noise and no more electric fees. When using tech host farm, it becomes easy,I find it more enjoyable because the miners are programmed to give you larges profit rewards, and it shows you a way to reduce expenses when mining, which is beneficial to all crypto
which one would you say is better for streaming while gaming?
Which card would be better to use to light live streaming?
Bret the VCN 3.0 encoder is actualy really good. The quality is a lot better than it use to be at lower bitrates and it performs very well. My 6600XT is 70% faster than my Vega 64 in x265 encoding workloads.
Loving the studio look! Is that still the basement!?
Also... There's now RSR and the 6600 can now punch even more above it's weight and get further from the 3050 in any game with Fullscreen mode!!
what are the temperatures of msi armor in games??
I can't remember when last I used physical machines for mining. I will stick with tech host farms' cloud mining services they are the best.
I play warzone @ 1440p 170hz, I wanna know what it takes to max out my monitor. no matter what the settings.
Yes i would also love a micro center in Pittsburg! And we’re state neighbors now lol. Another great video Brett👍👍
While I disagree that RT should even be in the conversation for a 50-class gpu from Nvidia rn, DLSS is great. Keeps your low-end GPU relevant for longer. Could argue that using DLSS at 1080p is a little questionable, I guess, but I think squeezing any extra out of a low-end GPU is great.
@@oxfordsparky I also tried it at 1080p before getting an ultrawide monitor, and found it not that fine, so, as usual, ymmv.
I use DLSS at 1440p with a 3070 so it's fine
Yhe RX6600 is 20% faster in pure raster in GPU bound games. To match it in performance with 3050 you have to enable DLSS, which reduces quality. DLSS becomes a moot point.
@@prla5400 1440p and higher is where DLSS makes sense. I currently use DLSS on a 1440p ultrawide and it's great. It wasn't great at 1080p, imo. Ymmv
@@jablue4329 I used DLSS in 1080p with my RTX 2060 Super and it was great (I talk about DLSS 2.0 and above). Now I have an 1440p monitor + an RTX 3080 and DLSS still a great option for more frame rate and almost, if not identical image (in quality mode, below not so much, but still good).
Hi UFD Tech, can i ask something please? im getting into mining crypto and would like to know if these mining programs are ok. All the ones ive downloaded so far get coughed up as a "virus". What program do you trust to mine with?
Thanks, all the best
So if I don't stream and don't encode, but I just game, sometimes in VR, which is the better card?
Here in my country the galax rtx 2060 (twin fan) is cheaper than the gigabyte geforce rtx 3050 (triple fan) :/, which one should I go for?
Does anyone bother with RT? It's fine for screenshots to show (with appropriate arrows, just to make sure you can see the difference) off the pretty reflections, but in a real-time situation, I, for one, can't notice any difference, as I'm usually too busy dodging bullets or similar.
For fortnite, so 1080p and basic gaming, you recomended me the rtx 3050 or rx6600?
man what are you doing ....
Can i use an rx 6600 wich 550w +80broze psu?
For us in United States I advise you use tech host farms. Its the best right now.
SWFT 210 Radeon RX 6600 CORE or RTX 3050 Ventus 2X XS 8G OC which one should i buy?
This aged like milk.
Pretty sure Towson, MD is closer than Pittsburgh to anywhere near Philly (over an hour,shouldn't e much over two hours each way. Probably only make sense for a full build).. Now if only someone could find me a similar place near Rochester, NY I'd be a happy camper.
Little different today since the 3050 is $379 and the 6600 is $420. As someone that plays mostly Ubisoft games, the 6600 would be the better choice but if your catalog strays from Ubisoft titles, the 3050 might do a little better. It really comes down to what you're doing.
I'm beating my head against a wall. I have a Zen 3 Ryzen 7 with a 6700XT. I want to upgrade my GPU and use the 6700XT in my spare PC but the FX 8320e in that PC would probably only push the GPU to 35% or so. So, do I buy a cheaper GPU for the spare, upgrade the CPU and MB in the spare to use the 6700XT or build a new PC with a 3080 or 6800XT and make my current the new spare? At least the last choice ends with three working PCs that will all play modern games from okay to fantastic. lol
This is exactly how I feel when I bought a 3070ti and a 6800 was the same price
Another point I need to mention, Blender has CUDA and OPTIX renderer which only nvidia gpu has.
i like how many times you push and tossed the 3050 box 🤣
I was able to find a 3050 for MSRP $249 at my local microcenter, while the 6600xt was at $369 back in march.
Who on earth runs RT with med setting on an rtx 3050 instead of just running high settings to get a better looking image and more fps?
For Linux gamers, the AMD has a lot better support in Linux vs nvidia
which is best for graphics/ editing work,
3050 or 6600?????
I would love a micro center in Pittsburgh I live in Like 45 minutes away
FSR in Cyberpunk 2077 is implemented fantastically. In Ultra Quality, with a 1080 Ti, I gain 15 to 20 more FPS (using everything on high and SSR Medium), and the only noticeable (not everytime) difference, is some aliasing with FSR. Only in ultra Quality cos anything else is a blurry mess.
I can "see" what you're talking about tho, but:
- Not all games support DLSS
- Raw performance will always be better.
- RT is not a talking point for XX50 and XX60 GPUs. It's ridiculous.
I'd buy 6600 any time
@@duckilythelovely3040 It's somewhat sad that you are right .. While I get his point, using RT as an example for x50 series GPU, is a joke, indeed.
I never had nvenc and I wonder why is it better then the AMD encoder ?
And now you have to test the 6600 with RSR and when FSR 2.0 comes out which is actually closer to DLSS. So this should slide even more to the 6600.
Wasn't Oloy in that new Horizon game?
is dlss in every game?
No
Did you forget about FSR?
While yes it's good for ray tracing that's it's only true saving grace. However Ray tracing enabled games is still just a small percentage of PC titles out there same goes with DLSS. If you could get a 3050 at MSRP, and/or the majority of your games are Ray Tracing titles then it's the right choice. Otherwise then it's best to stick with something with raw power like the 6600. Also just like how DLSS had a rocky start FSR will get better as well especially since they made it open source so more people can tinker with it.
6600 is a higher tier card and considerably more expensive, the 3050 is in stock everywhere and the 6600 is not
@@SirZanZa Sorry but the expensive part is kinda wrong at this time the only avalible 3050 cards out there is priced at 389~419 this includes Micro Center, Newegg, and many other sellers. Newegg did have model at the unicorn price of $249, but it's Shuffle only and it's been weeks since they last did that so the one that Newegg got in stock are the ones priced 389, and up. So for $50~$20 more I can get a way better card.
@@SirZanZa my country both in stock cheapest rtx 3050 - 410$ cheapest rx 6600 - 514$

i picked up a MSI GeForce RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 8GB OC for £345 that was my first ever main gpu buy, happy with it so far, but did pay more than what was original launch RRP price just so i can finally finish my gaming pc build
I just woke up. Thinking to myself 'what do I watch?' Then BAM! Bretman is there to save the day.
tech host farms also changed my life. I have started a new business from profits I made investing on a 2years contract with them. So easy and affordable.
would kill for a microcenter in sf valley area/los angeles. really, anything closer than tustin.
you were not right people, because you have to pick your GPU based on the 1% games that support DLSS and and Raytracing... NO you don't!
I got RX 6600 for $275 new, and I saw for $260 just the other day. Not the highest end of course, but my son had been running on 5600g integrated graphics for 9-10 months while waiting for GPUs to drop
Straight to the point, no padding to make it 10 m long,

I agree with the UFD. My choice would be the Rx 6600 for the Raw performance, but it is a very close call.

Why games are stuttery mess with my RX 570? My memory is 8gb dual channel and cpu is i3 9100f. I only play older games though (2010-2018), not the new resource intensive games. Happened to Ryzen 2600 and 16gb ram. This problem drove me crazy for years.

i need to know what street so i can go buy these cards
Solid points. Moonlight only works with NVIDIA and that is probably the most underrated benefit of NVIDIA cards. It's amazing to stream a desktop to another room in your house or across the country (with a fast enough connection in both directions) in nearly flawless quality and with ultra low latency. The AMD alternative encoder just does not work as well as NVENC. It stutters and drops frames at a much higher rate. If you have a 9 series and above NVIDIA card that's connected to your router via ethernet, do yourself a favor and take the time to setup Moonlight. In most cases takes less than ten minutes. In less ideal conditions it can take up to an hour depending on your router settings. It's open source, free and available on every platform. Think about it you could stream PC games at up to 4K 120 fps to your: TV, phone, tablet, 10 year old laptop, Raspberry Pi, smart watch, and / or Samsung Smart Fridge. Man, the world is your oyster and the possibilities are endless. / rant
Does it work as well as Parsec? That can run on any gpu
Im coming from a XFX RX480 8gb. Which is still great at 1080. Just got a 6600 8gb for 200 bucks. Cant wait to try it.
RX 6600s are starting to get nearer £300 at some retailers. £229-£279 RX 6600 cards would be great price drop.
If it was priced lower the RTX 3050 is a decent modern entry level GPU.
The problem is that the RX 6600 is outright a mid range card, just around 5-10% slower than the RTX 3060, all while being the same price as the RTX 3050 is many countries.
So as of 2023, the RX 6600 is no doubt one of the most bang for your buck GPUs out there.
Similar performance to the 3060 in most games without RT, combined with the price difference, seems to be making the RX 6600 the clear choice for desperate PC gamers. I remember years ago when I was telling people that if Nvidia was allowed to follow course on giving less for more money (back when they started to cripple the vram pools and selling entry level chips as mid-range -gtx970-), we all would be end playing on low end x50/x60 cards lol.
What about RSR🧐

Is the 6600 Radeon capable for Intel i5-12600K processor?
Capable? If you mean if it's a good pairing not really, it won't take full advantage of your CPU. But if you don't care about that it won't matter.
I was just worried that maybe I had picked the wrong choice with the 3050, but mine was 279.99, not 400. I can't even touch a 6600 for the same price.
for 300 or less, its a good buy no question about it. but i do personally think that 3050 should belong in sub 200USD.
I got the asrock version of 6600 only for $275 while 3050 in my country still about $400
and I dont really care about ray tracing, gamer just wanna play game, not all game have ray tracing nor change the way I play anyway
i like the take, the rx6600 has been slept on, espically by youtubers. just needs more love, still for $400 a 50 level card just hurts my soul
The 6600 is good!
dude i live in pittsburgh and want a microcenter real bad lol
I don't play any games currently that even support RT or DLSS, and I don't stream. So the RX 6600 is a no-brainer for me, especially since it is easy to find at MSRP right now.
theres a microcenter in columbus ohio and in cleveland. probably the closes to pittsburgh that i know of.
