Nvidia RTX 3050 Review ft. Gigabyte and Palit

Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The plot follows Aloy, a hunter in a world overrun by machines, who sets out to uncover her past. It was released for the PlayStation 4 in 2017 and Microsoft Windows in 2020. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Decima. We test using the Ultimate Quality preset, DX12 API.

Up next is Horizon Zero Dawn, where we’re looking at an average frame rate almost hitting 70 FPS for the RTX 3050. That still puts it closer to the GTX 1660 Super than it does to the RTX 2060, but performance is decent enough. PCIe bandwidth doesn’t make a big difference to the RTX 3050 here either, which was slightly surprising to me as I remember the drama about PCIe bandwidth when this game first came out, but it’s good news for prospective RTX 3050 buyers.
