Laptops with RTX 2050

[Mr White]

Why are Manufacturers building Laptops around this crap Graphics Card?. I mean yes its for basic gaming and photo's.

However its to slow for ray-tracing and future gaming.

[A&A]

Because back then it was better than all iGPUs. The ray tracing feature is only useful for productivity.

Basically, appeal to those on a budget and convince you to spend more towards a faster card.

I'm fine with my 3050. I just wanted a laptop that could play the games I already have. I kinda lost interest in the current games market.

The RTX 2050 is a 2021 mobile graphics processor, you won't find it in new laptops.

Sadly in the UK. Its being included in new laptops.

Then I stand corrected. That's surprising. What brands are they? I wonder if they are branded as 'Gaming Laptops'. If they are, that's pretty bad. I'm from the UK.

The RTX 2050 is several orders of magnitude more powerful than a iGPU, but a good gaming GPU it is not. The only useful thing on it is DLSS. The worst part is that 4GB of VRAM.

Asus TUF Amd 7TH Gen. MSI Gaming laptops. Medion and HP victus

The nVidia brad alone sells these products for many who shop only on price. nvidia been doing this for years with laptop manufacturers.

New AMD Processors for laptops dropping from mid July. Asus seems to have a few months exclusive before other brands add to the range. These should shake up the mid range with massive stocks in shops ready for back to school market.

I agree that any xx50 GPU is trash but I don't think people buy it for the ray tracing. It is the most affordable option if you wanna use DLSS to get some extra frames on newer games.

The 2050 is practically a mobile 1650 with tensor and RT cores. At least you can use first gen DLSS with it i guess.

Funny enough, the 2050 is actually Ampere based instead of Turing. its basically a cut down 3050 (both use the GA107 chip)

I wonder which generation of DLSS it actually allows you to use then if so, since it's still de-jure a Turing card.

You can use DLSS 3 on both Turing and Ampere. You just don't get to use the frame generation feature which is limited to Ada Lovelace only
and it uses the same CUDA, Tensor and RT cores like all of the 30 series cards.

4GB video memory - what a time to be alive!

Fair enough if so.

Both the superior 3050 and 3050 ti have 4 gigs so it's not that suprising that the unplanned wonder child of the 2000s series has only 4 gigs as well.
