Worth switch from RX 7600 to RTX 5050 ?

I found RTX 5050 for 320$ is the upgrade worth it ?

You already know the answer is no.

By all indications from the limited information we have, the 5050 doesn't even edge out the 4060.

You can check TPU's review, but it's not a "solid upgrade" and therefore likely no one will recommend it vs saving up for other GPUs.

$320 is a very bad price if it’s in USD.
Bestbuy sells a much faster 5060 for $299

Radeon 9060XT is also available at $299 and is quite faster than an entry level 5050.

5050 is not a good GPU at that price.

Yes 5050 is junk; Especially when 5060 Ti 16GB starts at $450 right now on-sale. Might seem like alot but you'd be wasting the money spent on a 5050, that';s for sure. If you must go that low in pricing, aim for a RX 9060 instead.

They too greedy to release anything below $249-299 range; and AMD is copy-catting this as well.

No dont do that mistake.

Yes go look at the on-sale discount prices right now; such as Newegg for example

9060 or 9070 of any kind would be a worthy step up from 7600

5050 is notably bad.

You are better off getting a B580 instead of a 5050. Don't buy that crap of manufactured E-Waste.

Nope, the performance gain you will get by doing so is extremely small compared to the amount of money you pay.

Save up your money for something better in the future tbh

I don't think anyone is buying that rubbish. You could load your library up with a ton of games that would keep you quite busy and be better value than wasting it on trash tech. Nvidia doesn't even give you gddr7. So greedy it's disgusting. At this point gpu purchases are a cognitive test.
