GeForce RTX 3050 OEM

2022

Why buy it

  • +113.9% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 71.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 47.8 vs 27.8 G3D/$ ($249 MSRP vs $200 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 2 GB).
  • More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 420% higher power demand at 130W vs 25W.

Radeon PRO W6300

2022

Why buy it

  • Costs $49 less on MSRP ($200 MSRP vs $249 MSRP).
  • Draws 25W instead of 130W, a 105W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (5,560 vs 11,892).
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • Weaker long-term outlook: GeForce RTX 3050 OEM is the safer future-proof pick thanks to newer hardware and better gaming feature support.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 27.8 vs 47.8 G3D/$ ($200 MSRP vs $249 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3050 OEM better than Radeon PRO W6300?
Yes. GeForce RTX 3050 OEM is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 11,892 vs 5,560 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3050 OEM is a 2022 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon PRO W6300 is a 2022 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3050 OEM is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting 113.9% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 2 GB, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 3050 OEM is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3050 OEM is about 24.5% more expensive on MSRP at $249 MSRP versus $200 MSRP, and you are getting 113.9% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 71.8%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Radeon PRO W6300 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon PRO W6300 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $200 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 3050 OEM is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
