3050, 3060 or 3070?

[Millennial_KiwiGamer]

My new computer I am building will have one of these cards but I am not sure what one is the best. I plan on still using 1080p 60fps as my monitor is for that and I am not a fan of 4k at all right now as old games I play don't support it very well.

I am wanting to run new games at a decent setting without compromising too much, as well as old games with 0 compromise.

I will be updating from a 1050ti.

NVIDIA (EVGA) 4 EVER!!

You must be late. As of 2022 EVGA has terminated contract for Nvidia.

thats why in brackets.. what do you think how old i am if i even boycot amd/ati as well as crapple for more than 2 decades already.. do you think i am not aware of evga situation?! my all time favourite brand? you are funny, and i dont wanna know why you gonna provoke like this.. and besides that i am a multiple certified IT expert..


INTEL / NVIDIA 4 EVER


3050 is utterly crap, and if OP choices between 3060 and 3070, go for 3070 (EVGA) as mentioned already, as 3070 is a huge step forward in performance. there are currently A LOT of such threads... i mentioned in these also, get a 3070 EVGA (minimum) as long as EVGA still sells these.

is it not possible to adjust the registry to be able to install windows 11?
i did read something about this...

Yes, there are a few bypasses of course but not recommended to do this at all as various Windows Updates as well as 3rd party updates may rather harm your system instead to "fix" it due to incompatibility issues. Especially those updates which are specified to system and security. Most updates won't even "rollout" for your "bypassed" system.

A watermark brand will be your lesser problem.

Sell that PC asap for approx money as suggested.

Also, I had a question about the computer I wanted to buy.

I was wondering if this computer could support a 4K monitor and a 1920x1080 monitor at the same time? I'm probably going to be playing around with things like ARK Survival Evolved, Red Dead 2, GTA V, Fortnite, stuff like that.

The RTX 3070 is a really neat "budget" one and a huge step forward compared to the RTX 3060. I would also start at minimum 3070 and at best one by EVGA, but to use the 3070 on 4K is a rather bad idea. You might gain about 60 fps only, even less by using dual screen. Not to mention this makes your 144+ Hz screen (1ms-2ms) useless.

2K, no problem, 3K works too.

RTX 3080 is concepted for 4K. Take one from EVGA as long as they are still selling these for decreased prices, but many choices/options/variations are already gone (sold out) there.

Top Notch and "State of the Art" FTW3's still available though:

An EVGA RTX 3080x FTW3 or even an EVGA RTX 3090x FTW3 will keep you satisfied easily for a next decade. And please use an Intel Processor.

If possible, pay about 50 more bucks for a 3070. Use factory-new GPUs only. You can never trust on a used GPU as these surely "burned down" by farming these totally useless pyramid scheme cryptics..

Forget the 3050 exists and add the 3060ti and RX 6700/6750 to your consideration.

Don't get tricked into a 3060 8gb at all.

The one reason to consider the 3060 at all if you go Nvidia is the 12gb may age gracefully because of the extra VRAM but I wanted more juice even when I got mine at the height of the craziness so definitely if you are going with 8 then get the 3060ti or 3070 which ever makes the most dollars and cents to you when you are ready to buy or even a 3070ti if you catch the right deal though they tend to be stubbornly high and seem somewhat scarce.

If don't really care about ray tracing or encoding I'd be thinking hard about that RX 6700/6750. You get the VRAM and enough power to play at 1440 pretty comfortably for today's titles.
That ought to handle 1080p 60 ultra and high no problem for a long time at a comparatively reasonable spend.

If you can continue to nrefrain from upgrading that monitor your life as a PC gamer will be far less pricey and defintely less aggravating when Nvidia and AMD are in extra greedy mode. You can get way in front of it for not a huge outlay right now by going with AMD's last gen 1440p suggested offering.

I think if the driver support is there that might work well for years to saturate that resolution and frame rate.

970 and 1060 still going strong, when they become irrelevent then its time to upgrade imho

Of the three you're asking about in the title, the RTX 3070 makes the most sense, and it's not that it makes a lot of sense, but rather that it is the "least bad" option. The other two just make zero sense when you can get comparable alternatives cheaper, or better alternatives at the same price. This ALSO applies to the RTX 3070 though, but less so than it does to those further down the stack, so again, it's the winner by default due to being the "least bad" option.

I wouldn't be looking at nVidia AT ALL in the sub-$500 price range unless you need nVidia for some specific reason (productivity work, encoding, etc.). The RTX 3060 is two years old and still sells for above MSRP, and generally loses to the RX 6600 or Arc A750, given they are roughly comparable but cost much less at ~$250. The RTX 3050 is even more of a joke, costing more than the two I just named but performing much worse. If you are limiting your choices to those three, the RTX 3070 wins by default, but even it loses out to alternatives in its price range.
