Nvidia diagram for the RTX 3050 does not make sense
Graphics card manufacturer Nvidia publishes a performance chart of the RTX 3050 on its homepage. Nothing special in itself, but the information does not make sense.
The RTX 3050 is an upcoming entry-level graphics card from Nvidia. It is not surprising that the manufacturer publishes a chart about the card's performance on its homepage. It is also not surprising that the predecessor generations are used for comparison. However, it is astonishing that two out of three specifications are not comparable at all.

Nvidia supplies data for the games "Control", "Minecraft" and "Borderlands 3". RTX is enabled in "Control" and "Minecraft", which means ray tracing. The strange thing is that you can also enable ray tracing on the GTX cards, but they do not have the necessary hardware acceleration. The RTX 3050, on the other hand, does. The frame rates in the corresponding games are lower and not comparable for this reason alone. Nvidia knows this as well and does not provide any information about the two GTX cards. That really doesn't help.
