Strange to use an old video card like a 2050. That's coming up on 2 years old. There must have been a lot of stock or a heck of a price break to HP on these. It has similar performance to a desktop rx 6400. Great for older gen gaming, not great for newer gen. But for $500 that's a lot of performance and graphical power. A tough sell for me as there have been more powerful GPU laptops for $550-$650. Thanks for the post, made me lookup an RTX 2050 since I didn't even know that was a thing!

I was questioning this too recently. Upon my quick research it appears the 2050's are still being produced for whatever reason. Seems odd to have 4050's, 3050's, and 2050's out at the same time. I get the old and new version but old versions of old versions? If I am not mistaken the 2050's are still decent and support all the new fangled tech / acronyms, just perform worse on higher resolutions than their newer counterparts (some benchmarks claim they perform better at LOWER resolutions than the newer cards though).

Watched a comparison video between the 3050 and the 2050 on Jarreds tech. Pretty close in performance. Apparently these 2050 mobile chips were released in 2023. Performed only slightly slower in most games vs the 3050. And they are DLSS capable. Strange. This little laptop was reviewed as well on another video. I was quite surprised. It can even run Cyberpunk 2077 on Medium at decent frame rates.

I assume the 3 gens of 50 class mobile GPUs are all in production now simply due to excess capacity from TSMC leading to lower prices for older nodes. Especially at the lowest budget tiers, I think it makes a lot of sense to just use whatever is cheapest and will let end users game.

Not too exciting for me, but it's good to see we're finally moving on from the rather weak and outdated 1650 laptops that were always on sale for ~$500 for several years. Seems to be on par with the desktop GTX 1650 and uses 8nm: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-s...bile.c3859

Even at $500 it's not really that great of a deal anymore. It's okay for a budget esports laptop but not much else. If you're playing anything more demanding than esports titles, look elsewhere.

This new batch of 2050 is based on 3050 tech. It has more CUDA cores than the old 2060, but narrower memory interface. It uses 2-3x less power, and I guess no LHR lock. It may be good for AI or crypto farm, which need more cores per watts, but don't need large data transfer. Applause

Need a $500 max laptop for an upcoming trip. 90 days in bad Internet. Mostly photo editing. Some video editing. Emulator gaming if I'm lucky. Work backup in a pinch since I'll be intentional.

This seems like a little of everything and a pretty decent price for dedicated card.

I have until year end and don't really have an immediate need otherwise since I don't use a laptop.

Thoughts on how much better a deal might pop up?

It seems like some older stuff is cycling out now so new deals might be more just because it's sales on newer gen.

Lower resolutions tend to be more dependent on CPU performance than GPU performance, which may explain what you're seeing. Low resolutions are great for determining the max number of frames a CPU can send to the GPU and determining whether a game is GPU or CPU limited.

How does this compare with the Microcenter's RTX3050 4gb, 16gb DDR4, 512 gig SSD, 120Hz Gateway gaming laptop that was for $299?

$399 I believe. But yeah better brand but lower amount of ram but at least it's faster ram. And I think the ryzen processor is better than Intel. Obviously the brand is way better and probably will be around unlike gateway

That makes a lot of sense. Also explains why the 2050's seem to support the newer tech the 3050's were boasting at launch. Seems silly Nvidia would call these 2050 not something to emphasize they were 3000 series but still scaled back, perhaps 3030 or like they did with one group of cards with a 5 at the end. But they sell more GPUs than I do so what do I know!
