today we're doing another pointless
comparison the baby of the rtx range
versus the raid boss to answer the
age-old question how much more gaming
power do the oligarchs wield but before
that it's time for a word from today's
video sponsor today's video is sponsored
by corsair and their new k70 pro rgb now
in my opinion the main upgrades to this
new version of the k70 is that it now
comes with double shot pvt keycaps as
standard which is awesome and the cable
is now detachable terminating in a type
c connector on the keyboard which is
very good there's also a bunch of rgb
stuff for those of you that care now
this keyboard is available in a large
selection of cherry mx switches this one
has cherry mx rgb speed silvers in them
that sound like this
if this sounds good to you use the link
in my description below to check out the
new corsair k70 pro rgb
[Music]
on paper the difference between the two
gpus is significant the rtx 3090 tie is
a behemoth gpu with the kind of numbers
that sound like something shouted by a
12 year old to one of their friends
although the two differences i find the
most impressive are the price and the
tdp i mean
physically the two graphics cards are a
relatively similar size if you don't
take into account the 360 millimeter
radiator glued to the 30 90 ti although
when you compare their nudes you can see
there is a lot more going on on the more
expensive graphics card as you'd hope
right that kind of seems about right but
none of this really matters we're all
here to see a big graphics card beat up
a small graphics card so let's drop them
in a testbed and see how it goes at two
very different resolutions
[Music]
okay so this seems to be running at
pretty much the optimal gta 5 frame rate
the frame rate seems to be just under
that point where gta's engine starts
having seizures so this is about as good
a 1080p gaming experience as you can
have in this game before the stutters
seep in which that's pretty cool
next we have battlefield 5 running at
1080p ultra settings and this is a great
gaming experience i think if you ran a
1080p high settings which is a lot more
reasonable it would be even better but
even with more stuff going on in the
scene it still stays close to 100 frames
per second so this is good
[Music]
okay so at 1080p high settings with the
3050 we have a very usable gaming
experience we're not quite at 60 frames
per second but it's it's fine the game
feels good and it looks all pretty and
stuff and if you want a slightly higher
frame rate you can just drop the
settings a little bit so this is not too
bad in terms of the temperatures on this
little eagle card they land squarely in
the
territory although at least it's not a
howler monkey so that's good but i think
with that it's time to drop in something
a bit more beefy in this test bed
[Music]
gta 5 a 1080p with a graphics card that
probably wipes itself with 1080p yeah
let's see what happens
oh starters is what's gonna happen uh
because the graphics card is too much
for the engine to handle uh we did do
this in a in a previous video so i'm not
gonna sit on this too long but as you
can see
this is not like it's just
no
wow it is using a whole lot more power
than the rtx 3050 i can tell you that
but it's also much faster we are well
over 200 frames per second here and it's
um yeah this is crazy i've not seen
battlefield 5 run like this granted i
have only recently figured out how to
unlock the frame rate so
that also makes a difference
last time we tried to run it at psycho
settings on the 3090 tie and it didn't
go super well uh but let's see let's see
how it goes this time oh considerably
better okay
that is
by far the highest frame rate i've ever
seen in cyberpunk and actually
cyberpunk does seem to scale relatively
well at 1080p because we are pretty much
getting the full gpu utilization
which is not something you can say for a
lot of the other games
but that's that's pretty cool that is a
very high frame rate but again all i can
say is that i am very happy that we have
24 gigs of gddr6x in this gpu because
we've clearly been using it on the note
of really using it let's have a look at
the benchmarks
[Music]
clearly the rtx 3090 tie is a lot faster
than the 3050 but the performance
results were still a bit of a mixed bag
which makes sense considering that in a
lot of cases the gpu isn't even almost
the bottleneck and this just shows again
if you buy one of these high-end
graphics cards in 2022 but you still own
a 1080p display you should probably
stick some bamboo under your fingernails
as punishment for your wasteful ways
having said that let's move over from
the rtx 3050s wheelhouse and step into
the 3090s domain
4k
we're getting a pretty stable 60-ish
frames per second at 4k uh very high
settings in gta 5 with the rtx 3050
which it's not too bad it's pretty good
[Music]
whoa i
am actually pretty surprised at how well
this gpu handles 4k uh this is ultra
settings
and
it's not a complete slideshow it's not a
great performance but
a you shouldn't be running it at ultra
and this is not a gpu that you would
reasonably expect to use at 4k so no
it's pretty impressive little 3050.
ah now this is a lot more in line with
what i was expecting 4k to look like
on the little rtx 3050 although again
considering that this is high settings
on cyberpunk
it's it's it's not a completely
embarrassing showing like
this is this is fine but let's drop big
daddy back in and see how it handles
itself in its own backyard
oh damn okay well uh at 4k
we're getting about the same frame rate
we did
at 1080p with this graphics card which
uh that's pretty crazy it means that we
still get the stutters which is nice it
really adds to the gta 5 experience at
this point and um yeah it's pretty crazy
[Music]
holy crap look at that power draw
that is that is insane and then you look
next to it and the temps are are still
just 50.
and it's not making any noise either
that is a pretty crazy cooling solution
and aside from that i am pretty sure
that this average is considerably higher
than the 3050s 1080p result i feel like
this kind of power draw for half an hour
is going to set fire to the oxygen in
the room like that is
that's madness
oh well i may have some crazy power at
my disposal but it clearly doesn't help
me suck any less
[Music]
now at 4k it's it's dipped
substantially uh although
i do think that again it is still
running faster at 4k than the 3050 was
running at 1080p oh i just noticed the
power draw
that it's it's it's gone over
450 watts
that is by a reasonable amount the
highest power draw figure i've ever seen
from a gpu obscene power draw aside
let's see how the benchmarks stack up
[Music]
now the most interesting part about
these benchmarks for me is that in every
single game i tested the 30 90 times 4k
results are faster than the 3050s 1080p
results in fact when it comes to
battlefield 5 at 4k even big daddy's 1
lows are higher than the little berber's
average at 1080p which got me thinking
what happens if we add ray tracing on
top of 4k for the 3090 ti and see how it
compares to non-ray trace 1080p on the
3050. okay so now i have high ray
tracing settings on at 4k and we're
getting what seems like a very similar
experience to what we were getting at
1080p
non-ray tracing with the
with the rtx
uh it's a bit slower it's not as fast
there is a
pretty big performance hit if i'm honest
so when all said and done if you own the
baby of the rtx range and you want to
know what it feels like to game like an
oil baron then just pretend like you're
gaming at 4k not 1080p that's basically
the same experience just a little bit
blurrier anyway if you enjoyed the video
consider watching another one a
suggestion will pop up in a second and
don't forget to subscribe to the channel
i've heard it reduces your chance of
getting a urinary tract infection by 23
and considering that it's free to do
that sounds like a hell of a deal to me
and yeah until the next video bye-bye
[Music]
