NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU Review & Benchmarks

Episode Title: "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU Review & Benchmarks"
Content: This review of the EVGA (NVIDIA) RTX 3050 video card offers benchmarks vs. the RTX 3060, RX 6500 XT, GTX 970 & 1070 in 2022, and many more. We test gaming and power results. Sponsor: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 (Amazon) https://geni.us/RJBy and Arctic MX-5 Thermal Paste (Amazon) - https://geni.us/EXf0I NVIDIA's RTX 3050 launched today, but the EVGA RTX 3050 XC we're reviewing is actually *$80* more expensive than we were told to expect. That's because EVGA accidentally shipped it with the VBIOS for a higher-tier card, although the ultimate difference between the two is about 2-3%. The EVGA RTX 3050s are either $250 or $330 MSRP, although other cards, like the ASUS ROG Strix RTX 3050, go up as high as $500 MSRP (before even getting scalped). The range is massive. We're benchmarking the RTX 3050 in gaming, helping establish whether it's worth it to upgrade from a GTX 960, GTX 970, GTX 980 Ti (no), GTX 1070, or other cards.
