System Diagnostics

VRAM Capacity

Video Memory Stores textures and game assets. More VRAM = Higher resolution (4K) and better texture quality settings.

8GB

1080p Ultra / 1440p Entry

Core Clock

Engine Speed How fast the GPU processes data. Higher speeds generally mean smoother gameplay and higher FPS.

1.78 GHz

Standard Base Clock

Weaker Console Parity (PS5)

The "Leonida" Baseline Compares this GPU's raw power against the PlayStation 5. A score of 100 means it matches the console exactly.

Stronger

Legacy Gen Current Gen Next Gen Ready

Data Highway

Memory Bus Width. Like lanes on a highway—wider means more data (textures) can move at once.

128-bit

Free FPS Tech

AI Upscaling (DLSS/FSR). Renders game at lower resolution then uses AI to make it look sharp, boosting FPS significantly.

DLSS 2

Light Engine

Hardware for realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows. Very demanding on performance.

2nd Gen

# The Verdict

Performance Tier

1080p High Performance

Key Strengths

2nd Gen RT Cores for improved ray tracing
8GB VRAM for smooth 1080p and 1440p gaming
DLSS upscaling for performance boost in supported games

Potential Bottlenecks

Limited 128-bit bus may hinder 4K performance

1080p

60+ FPS (High)

1440p

40-60 FPS (Medium-High)

30-40 FPS (Medium)

Engineer's Recommendation

"The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 offers solid 1080p and 1440p performance, but may struggle at 4K resolutions. It's a good option for 1080p gamers who want to experience ray tracing and DLSS. However, those seeking 4K gaming should consider more powerful options."
