I didn't even know that the rtx 2050 was a thing
I Wish it wasn't
@captain_morganI'm not sure if you're joking or serious.... RTX 3040😅
@@Royan1900it really is. It is not Turing. It is an ampere.
@@CrispyStrahan True.... guess I I forget how sneaky Nvidia is
I have a laptop with a 2050 and it does really well honestly at 1080p. With dlss on all games are smooth. I got the laptop for $520 at bestbuy. Upgraded the ram to 16gb from 8gb and put in a 2tb samsung nvme drive which put the total cost at $620. A really good buy for a laptop that can run almost all games at 1080p smoothly.
I'd say spend more on the 3050 if the gpu wattage was higher. A lot of 3050 laptops have higher wattages which means it has higher peak performance. Gotta look up every gaming laptop for info on GPU wattage before buying which is a pain as a consumer.
Highest it can do is actually 90W on most laptops. Only some TongFang or Clevo devices can hit 100W+. And those doesn't affect power much.
Yeah mine goes upto 95w with dynamic boost, my laptop is asus rog strix g15
Higher power doesn't necessarily mean more performance, it can be limited by memory bus or voltage limits.
Focus on benchmarks to see whether a higher priced higher power model is worth it.
If there is cooling available you can always try flashing a higher power limit vbios anyway.
@@rb6725pretty sure it's 80 watts on this one, maybe more
@@rb6725 95w according to Google
Perfect, thank you for all research and data comparison, thank you
I think the 6gb 3050 vs the 4050 would be an interesting comparison. Now the 3050 wont be vram limited as much and so it might cover some of the gap
Nah bro. 4050 is a 3060 competitor and 3060 in general is 35% faster than a 3050Ti when not VRAM limited and 50% when VRAM limited.
So a 3050 with 6GB VRAM (~3050Ti) is the same as a 1660Ti (Remember the 1660Ti vs 3050Ti comparison video and then 3050Ti vs 3060).
@@DeepteshLovesTECH Shoulda clarified, a low wattage 4050 vs 3050 6gb high wattage.
But yeah, I fully agree with you. 4050 and 3060 are roughly on par.
@@DeepteshLovesTECH3050 n 3050 ti gives very much the same (same specs)
you said recently about using the integrated graphics when watching videos on battery as it is a much lower power GPU ...
is this actually the case, i set all my apps to run at high power through the dedicated GPU , thinking that it is a much more power efficient unit ??
love your videos, they are very helpful yet fun at the same time.
Everything I see stock seems to be 2050 with 16gb ram or 3050 with 8gb ram. Fairly new to all this and buying for teen as 1st proper laptop. What am I missing?
If I remember the 3050 6GB has a narrower memory bus? Still interesting to finally see a 2050 comparison, especially since it’s been making its way to non-gaming devices like the LG gram
lot of brand budget laptop use 4gb 3050 but 3050 also have 6gb version
Remember that DLSS and ESPECIALLY Frame Generation use VRAM too, since there is where the frames are stored in order to upscale and/or create a new frame. That's why VRAM is more and more important as time goes on.
3080 16 GB, 3080 Ti, 4080 and 4090 are the only futureproof cards as of now
@@leruty I agree
@@lerutythe ones buying these are doing so on a budget so are either playing less demanding games or are using a console and has this as a secondary gaming device.
2050 is a 3050 with 64 bit memory bus. Damn Nvidia had to save a penny here as well 😂
yeh it wasn't a circumcision, nividia turned the 2050 into an eunuch with that 64 bit bus...
product of capitalism. Squeeze the living shit out of everyone so that the useless top level people in a company to have another yacht.
I mean what type of fuckery is this.
2050' 112gb/s bandwidth is less than gaming handhelds with quad channel lpddr5 have & they struggle to get high fps due to less bandwidth.
Indian Jarrod, Deeptesh.
And then there's refresh 3050 with 6gb vram and 64biy memory bus.
Yet in most cases, at least at these lower power levels, it doesn't seem to matter too much

Between the 13620h and the 7860hs which would be the better choice for productivity and gaming?
Uhhh I've never tested them with the same wattage. Interesting results! Didn't expect them to be that close!
Thanks for your detailed tests and graphs!
do you mean that i can modify the wattage of the msi 3050 to get bigger diffrence ?
@@Master_trac no, there are different wattage versions on the market. We'll in theory some laptops can use a different firmware to boost the wattage, but the cooling system isn't build for that so that's a big risk of harming your hardware.
@@Master_trac nah don't think you can do that on a laptop..... and even if you can, then don't. It might affect other areas of your laptop since the battery isn't designed for a higher than given wattage.
@@mihirojha4475 idk maybe yes maybe no 😂
One thing to note here is that is a thin and light laptop from msi not known for its performance
Will you review the RTX 3050 6GB refresh?
I dont feel good to spend 140 Dollars to get an RTX 3050 laptop(because at my place laptops are crazy expensive due to custom duties imposed)
I would wait for Asus and HP to launch
i5-12500H or i5-12450H with RTX 2050 (60-70W)and then would buy it
Because i5-11400H doesnt support ram upgradation to more powerful version like DDR5 and other
I bought an acer aspire 5 with an i7-1260p and 2050 (25W) for £700. It’s got nearly twice the performance of an mx550 and about 20% better than the 780m 50w iGPU.
I got a similar laptop with i5 12450h rtx 2050 4GB 55W, it’s not bad and runs decent on games for £600

What about the 6gb version of RTx 3050 any plan for review?
Can you make a video about the Asus tuf your using in this video? I’m debating on buying this or the IdeaPad gaming
Hi! Sorry if this is out of topic but I'm very new to anything laptop. I'm going to buy my very first gaming laptop in a few weeks (aiming for a ROG Strix G15 2022) but i have been struggling to find answers regarding maximum storages on gaming laptops (specifically the G15 I'm aiming for). I'll be using this laptop mostly for gaming, designing, 3D rendering so i want to get the most out of my laptop's storage yet on the websites they don't put out information on how much storage you can put in the laptop. So can I just put like 2TB of SSD per slot? or is it 2TB is the max per laptop?
We typically use a 4TB drive for our games without issue, however you'll need to make sure it can fit a double sided SSD.
I have a question. I have almost the same Asus laptop as the one in the video (3050 variant) and the performance unplugged is pretty bad (the lag at times is unbearable). I see that this is a common issue with other users so I was wondering if you could confirm this problem and bring Asus up to speed with it.
Its common on all laptops
I have the same asus. i5 11400h 3050 ti and 24gb ram. Ya when unplugged depending on how you have your power management setup it will drag hard. Its just the power need vs availability
That's why I'm choosing MSI@griz3245
Thanks for making a video on the 2050 ❤️
@user4090 still more than you lmao
@user4090so ?
Wasn't aware it existed until now
ye we are happy now
2050 is sad
Perfect vid (as always), I hope you make a vid about another 14 inch laptop
G14 and Blade 14 coming up soon!
Wait, I bought the asus tuf f15 rtx 2050 but it has 70W tgp. How did you get the 40W tgp variant 🧐?
Hi, can u share the performance of the laptops?
I just got myself a jump from Ryzen 5-5600H/16gb DDR4 3200Mhz RAM/GTX 1650 to i5 12450H/16GB DDR5 4800Mhz RAM / RTX 2050 for a good price (around 750 bucks), most computers I were able to find for the price range offered 3050 but with the other specs being the same as previous computer in terms of CPU and RAM and still, more expensive than the one I got (850-920 dollars depending on brand), thank you for this informative video, your research helped me out into choosing!
You are a real savior my friend. Thank you for the great review
Can you suggest laptops or cpu and GPU requirment for smooth 1080p - decent video editing under 900$-950$
Thanks for making this
Can you please make a video on the newer RTX 3050 6GB VRAM version?
Hi! Thank you Jarrod bro for all your helps. Please help one more time. I am looking for Dell G16 for its good design and low price. But new Dell G16 has only intel i5&i7 HX CPU's. I have checked about them, why they dont have good iGPU? Even not normal? I want to work with iGPU for light works and use dGPU for only some 3D works or Android studio. To get more battery life. But HX's are worst in iGPU. Why? Can they run android studio perfectly? Or CSGO 1080p at 100fps?
Hey Great video with explanation,
I'm bout to get Lenovo LOQ i5 12450H with RTX 2050
but 6gb variant of RTX 3050 is available at an extra price of about 120 dollars, is it worth going for it?
cuz this video is 4gb variant
rtx 20 laptops are rarely available in my country and 3050 laptops are extremely affordable here
Hey Jarrod, when are we getting a review of the Legion Slim 5i Gen 8 (2023)?
Love your videos btw, they are so detailed and very helpful in deciding which laptop to buy!
20xx series also capable of using 3D screens with Nvidia 3D Vision 2 Wireless Glasses while the 30xx and on word are not capable of doing that officially.
how big is the difference if rtx2050 running with ddr5 ram i wonder
looking at this in Nov 2023, currently there's a $100 for the 3050 laptops vs one with a 2050.....thank you for proving to myself and other potential buyers that it's better to redirect that $100 for something like more memory or storage than spend the extra for an ~4% difference in gaming performance
yes RAM will get you right at the same level if not better
Hi Jarrod! The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 with Ryzen 7 7745hx and RTX 4070 140W is on sale for $1600 on Lenovo's website. I brought the price down to $1250 with coupons and a student discount. In your opinion, is this a good deal?
It has 32 Gb DDR5 5200 as well
I’m not Jarrod, buy Yes, it’s a really good deal at $1250
Is a test of the radeon RX6500m scheduled?
I want to see your opinion and comparisons about it.
No we might not ever get one to cover.
@@JarrodsTech
Not even get one?
I found some basic HP Victus equiped with it in France.
You really don’t have ANY retailer selling it in Australia ? (it is your country if I’m not mistaken)
My current gaming laptop is Asus Tuf with ryzen 7 4800H and rtx 3050. I bought it with 820$. In the end of 2024, I want to change it with another Asus Tuf with rtx 4050 or 4060. I wish the price will be at most around 900$ at that time.
Idk why you are testing at 40w where 70w is mentioned in asus tuf
Can you please tell me whether I need 2050 or 3050 for 3D modelling and rending? many thanks
Wow, there is a refreshed 3050 mobile. How does it perform compared to the original version, given that the bus width has been cut down? At least the vram frequency is increased though.
it all depends on the bandwidth. if the 96 bit can match the 128 bit by having faster GDDR6, answer should be obvious
@@GewelReal If you work out the math, the newer 3050 only has a tiny bit less bandwidth (about 5% less) than the older 3050, but it has a good bit more cuda cores, and also more vram capacity. Would you like to point out how obviously the 2 versions of the 3050 would compare in terms of performance now?
@@mingyi456 if bandwidth is similiar then you'd get as many % more performance as much more CUDA you have + no slowdowns when exceeding 4GB of VRAM
Can I ask for your advice please. I'm considering buying a new laptop. And I'm choosing between HP Victus RTX 2050 or Lenovo LOQ RTX 4050. The Lenovo is 270$ more expensive. Do you think it's worth the jump in price? Thank you.
I'd say Lenovo, but what are both prices exactly? And what CPU they have?
i am using asus a17 RTX 3050 ryzen 7 4800H , i have played rdr2 , destiny 2 , gta 4 and 5 , in each of game when laptop was plugged in my FPS was at contstan 60 and sometimes when it got heated it dropped to 55 around , but the most importnant matter here is that your RTX supports DLSS SR and DLSS FG then it wont even be a problem to play
Tq brother. I was so confused between vivobook 14x and 15 pro
3050 with ryzen 5-5600h vs 2050 woth i5-12450h which one is better
Can we get a review of the new dell G15 with refreshed RTX 3050 13 gen i5.
Nice job on this video Jarrod! Did Spider-Man feel laggy on the 3050 Laptop?
I find videos like these very interesting considering all the high end GPU content youtube is saturated with.
Thanks!
2023’s refresh 3050 got higher vram than 2021 3050ti
Thanks nvidia , I hate it😊
I do have a ASU’s tuf f15 70w tgp 2023model , so will it be better than the RTX 3050 90w tgp?
Bro u r a life saver i was confused between 2 laptops ( one with rtx 2050 and the other with 3050 ) and i came to YT hoping to find smth from you and this was uploaded 4 mnts ago ). Love u m8
A full wattage 3050 is 40% faster than this. This video is misleading.
Also this 3050 has single fan for both CPU and GPU.
On point 🎉
@@vmafarah9473 what ? Misleading ? Bruh
@@vmafarah9473 Exactly! A 90w 3050 will easily outperform a 2050. This video should have focused on that instead of 40w which nobody will buy anyway.
2050 has been replacing 1650 on starter laptops and I don't know if it's any better but 2050 to 3050 is interesting. Thanks J
Considering the 2050 does dlss makes it a massive difference. People mentioning the 1650 keep forgetting that.
Nah the 3050 is the new starter the 2050 is only on 3 laptops
hi jarrod, will you review the 4gb 3050 vs 6gb 3050? and the 2050 vs 1650?
I have asked him before regarding the 2023 3050 with 6gb vram. And he said he wouldn’t do it unless there’s sufficient laptop in the market coming out with it or if one is sent to him.
okay thanks, it was worth the shot. my thought process was if enough people asked, he might be more inclined to review it hahahahahaha
Tbh i consider 3xxx series because.of VSR feature that only avalaible on 3xxx and higher while the 2050 doesn't have this and unknown if it will jave in the future
What's vsr
I want to do 2d animation in blender or krita and editing as well, will be making 5 to 10 minute cartoon videos. Don't want to play any games. Which one should i go for I'm on a tight budget.
Can you compare it with intel iries xe GPU
Nice In Flames Clayman 2020 shirt!
It was weird when I look at Techpowerup and saw that it was the same chip with different tdp, and somehow the 2050 has more rt cores than the 3050, but the 3050 has more cache, so I went here to see real resilts
Can you make comparison of 2050, 3050, 4050 laptops and also 2060, 3060, 3060 and then 2070, 3070, 4070 and finally 2080, 3080, 4080 please? It would be 4 seperate videos and be a better comparison and help more people
Rtx 3050 desktop vs rtx 4050 laptop (full powered) can be intresting
Jarrod as usual is doing an excellent job. Give a thumb up just because Jarrod sponsored this video 😂😂
Haha the title baited the gamers and they will now spread stupidity on forums and portals that RTX 2050 performs the same or better while it is still much worse. Most will forget that we are talking about 40W on the RTX 3050, yet few laptops have such low TGP values :/
I hate this kind of clickbait.
there was no clickbait -- you're just trying to justify your purchase
@@firstname4337 not even close, cause I got Legion with i7&3060, but nice try.
He always make videos with such title. Never mention TGP in titles but only in the video.
@@firstname4337 Jarrod tested both laptops at 40 W. The 3050 can use up to 80 W as shown by this chart 0:38 . Laptops which provide the 3050 with enough power will outperform all 2050 laptops since the 2050 can't use more than 45 W. There are plenty of 3050 laptops at the 600$ price point which do this. The lenovo ideapad gaming 3 I got on sale for example.
This is a clickbait video 100% . A full wattage 3050 is up to 40% faster in some games than 40w 3050.
Jarrod sometimes become Dc.
Also 2050 frame time is a mess in some games,even worse than 1650ti in some games.
Check other RUclipsrs comparison with live FPS.
Don't believe Jarrod's video as such.
This is a single fan laptop with small heat for CPU and GPU both limits performance of one another.
Some Dc RUclipsrs do controversial videos to get more clicks and comments.
It was to see Jarrod is doing so.
I lost trust of Jarrod a couple of times recently.
The aftermarket prices on the 2050 are going to drop by a lot more than the 3050
Because more number is better
Can it run unity and/or ue5?

I bought Lenovo legion 5 with ryzen 5 5600H and rtx 3050 last year for a price of 1.150$+ (IDR 18 million). I know about the vram limitation after doing research and watching your video before i buy it. But i'm pretty happy with my purchase. It is a huge upgrade compared to my previous laptop after using it for almost a decade (Low entry laptop with i5 4th gen and GT720m). I've been using it for playing old games that i couldn't play with my old laptop, a few new games (not tripple A games), and emulators. Tho the small vram is a concern but i'm happy i can play a games with a steady locked 60 fps (concerned bout the thermal) and enjoying esport game like valorant.

@@agungkurniawan5880 not really. Since i bought the laptop, i don't even follow the new releases. It was a huge upgrade for me. Money come and gone so fast, and since i had the money back then ofc i bought it. Even tho IDR 18m a bit too expensive since it was still covid.
do 2050 is better than 3050 in architectural renderings? or i can just say like a simple rendering like a simple residential 3D perspectives.
the problem is in my country 3050 laptops are almost anywhere. while older gpu's especially mixed with newer cpu's are scarce. so in the end i still got 3050 because it's the cheapest on 30 series

Should i buy a laptop with 16gb ram, rtx 2050 or 8gb ram with rtx 3050 for gaming .(both have 64gb expandable memory)
Obviously the rtx 3050 especially if you could upgrade the ram to 16gb it would be stunning
3050.. dont worry about ram, you can upgrade it
Pls tell me should I buy 2050 70watt or 3050
Can games like the sims and palia play well on the 3050
They're at about same price too in my country. But here's the catch - RTX 2050 laptops have much worse screen in my case
Depends on VRAM and TGP. If the 3050 has more VRAM, specially for 3D modelling and video editing, you should definitely reconsider this comparison.
