The RTX 3050 does creep back ahead of the 1660 Super in Forza Horizon 5, where it averages 76 FPS, which is not bad at all for this title. That makes it 12% slower than the RTX 2060, though frame rates do also drop by around 5% for the RTX 3050 when using PCIe 3.0. It’s only a small decrease, but it’s not nothing.
