[SOLVED] Rtx 2060 or RTX 3050

[coolraveen]

Hi am currently rocking a ryzen 5 3600, and it's paired with a 1650 super,

Am looking to upgrade because the card is showing its age in the games like call of duty online, assassin's creed valhalla etc

My monitor is a AOC 75hz, gaming monitor G25VXQ with G sync, 1080p

I want to know should I buy the rtx 3050 for 350 usd or buy the asus tuf 2060 for as low as 329usd?

My target is decent power to get a 100fps ( OK with screen tearing at 75hz)

My psu is corsair cv 550 bronze

looks like the 2060 has the edge.

Shall I buy 2060?

between the two I would go for the better performance.

2060 is a tiny improvement over 3050, 3050 is a very efficient gpu compared to 2060, I'd say get whichever is priced lower.
the TUF 2060 you've mentioned doesn't do a perfect job of cooling.
I know it sounds really dumb to pay 30$ extra for less performance, but you're getting a newer, more efficient GPU that probably runes quieter than the 2060, if you don't mind noise, get the TUF 2060 anyway.

Is MSI gaming x of the rtx 3050 good?

Yep, has a chunky cooler, there are definitely better options for 3050 too but MSI is just fine.
