Looking back at the CES 2021 exhibition at the beginning of the year, NVIDIA brought the NVIDIA Ampere architecture to notebook computers and released the RTX30 series of notebook GPUs. On May 11, 2021, NVIDIA further improved the product line and released the RTX3050Ti and RTX3050 notebooks. Computer GPU, let the NVIDIA Ampere architecture enter the mainstream price of the notebook computer market.
More meaningfully, GeForceRTX3050Ti and RTX3050 notebook GPUs are the first generation of NVIDIA x50 series products that support ray tracing and DLSS, allowing more gamers to enjoy the enhanced gaming experience brought by advanced technology.
At present, the PConline evaluation room has received a mechanical revolution Z3Air with a thickness of only 20.5mm and a weight of only 1.96kg. As a thin and light gaming notebook with low power consumption, the Mechanical Revolution Z3Air is the first gaming notebook equipped with GeForceNVIDIARTX3050Ti notebook GPU. The GPU power can reach up to 95W, and it is also equipped with the latest Intel 11th generation Core i7-11800H Processor and hardware configuration are the mainstream collocations for gaming notebooks in this price segment in 2021. As for this review, this product is used as a representative to test the comprehensive performance of the GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU, a product oriented to mainstream prices, in a thin and light gaming notebook.
Product parameter introduction:
Let’s take a look at the specifications before the test. The GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU uses a complete GA107-775-A1 core, with 20 sets of SM units, 2560 CUDA units, and 4GBGDDR6 video memory. The bit width is 128bit, and the maximum TGP power consumption is 80W (DynamicBoost 2.0 is not turned on). The GeForceRTX3050 notebook GPU with a slightly lower positioning also uses the GA107-775-A1 core.But after a certain castration, the SM unit has 16 groups, the number of CUDA is 2048, and it is also equipped with a 128bit wide 4GBGDDR6 video memory.
As for other features and functions, even if GA107-775-A1 is only the entry-level core of the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the GeForceRTX3050 and GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPUs still have the second generation RTCore and the third generation TensorCore, which also implements ray tracing and DLSS The hardware-level foundation of the technology. In terms of specific specifications, the RTX3050Ti notebook GPU has 80 TensorCores and 20 RTCores.
In GPU-Z version 2.39, the detailed parameter information of GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU can be accurately identified.
performance release test:
Open the NVIDA control panel, you can further view the product information of GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU, you can find that advanced technologies such as ResizableBAR, DynamicBoost2.0, WhisperMode2.0 have not been castrated. After opening DynamicBoost2.0, the maximum power limit of GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU can reach 95W (80W+15W).
Of course, the actual performance release of the hardware should refer to the heat dissipation design of the game notebook. In an indoor environment of 26℃, switch the mechanical revolution Z3Air to Hurricane mode, use FurMark to perform a single-bake stress test on it, and monitor the GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook computer. The GPU's power consumption release can reach about 75W.
At the same time, the AIDA64FPU+FurMark double-bake pressure test is turned on, the mechanical revolution Z3Air can output about 55W+70W,It can also give full play to the performance of GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU.
Theoretical performance test:
First use 3DMark to conduct theoretical performance test on GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU:
Comparing the previous test data, we can find that in 5 traditional tests, we can see that GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU is compared The GeForceGTX1650 notebook GPU has a performance improvement of more than 50%, which is close to the previous generation of dessert-grade RTX2060 notebook GPU.
As mentioned earlier, thanks to the second-generation RTCore and the third-generation TensorCore, the GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU has gained support for ray tracing and DLSS technology. The following is the theoretical performance tested with 3DMark .
In the PortRoyal project, the score of GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU is 897, which is far behind the general 3000+ score of GeForceRTX2060 notebook GPU. The reason may be that the 4GB display has a bottleneck in the test.
In addition, in the NVIDIADLSS function test that comes with 3DMark, running the same screen, the average number of frames before turning off DLSS is 3.99FPS, and the average number of frames after turning on DLSS is 11.89FPS, the improvement is more obvious.
Game performance measurement:
In terms of actual games, the game test is divided into two parts: rasterization and light tracking/DLSS performance test. Select " Far Cry 5 ", " War Machine 5 ", "Chinese Earth World: Shadow of War", "Total War: Three Kingdoms", "Tomb Raider: Shadow", "Control" and other representative 3A masterpieces.For the previous GTX1650 gaming laptop, these games would be difficult to run smoothly at the 1080P resolution without reducing the special effects settings. Let's take a look at the actual test table of the mechanical revolution Z3Air equipped with GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU, which was updated to the 471.68 driver version before the game test.
1. Rasterization performance test
"Far Cry 5" is set to extremely high special effects, the average frame number of the mechanical revolution Z3Air is 89FPS, and the minimum frame number is 74FPS.
"Gears of War 5" pulls all settings to ultra-high, closes vertical synchronization and minimum frame number restrictions. The average frame number of the mechanical revolution Z3Air is 71.5FPS, and the GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU also does not cause a bottleneck.
"Middle-earth: Shadow of War", set to the highest special effects, run its own benchmark performance test, the average frame number of the mechanical revolution Z3Air is 74FPS.
The previous three games, the mechanical revolution Z3Air equipped with GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU, have obtained an average frame rate of more than 60FPS, and then test "Total War: Three Kingdoms". With extremely high special effects, the mechanical revolution Z3Air runs the "Total War: Three Kingdoms" battle scene benchmark test with an average frame rate of 51.4FPS, which is basically in line with expectations.
"Assassin's Creed: Hall of Valor" is the twelfth main work in the " Assassin's Creed " series, which places extremely high demands on GPU performance. When the medium image quality is turned on, the 4GB memory capacity of the GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU does not cause a bottleneck, so the mechanical revolution Z3Air can run its own performance evaluation to get an average frame rate performance of 71FPS.
2. Optical chase/DLSS performance test
Next is the optical chase and DLSS performance test,We selected "Tomb Raider: Shadow", "Control", "Outriders" and "Call of Duty: War Zone" for testing.
Adjusted the ray tracing shadow quality to super high in "Tomb Raider: Shadow". The average frame rate of running benchmark test is 35FPS, which is basically smooth.
As NVIDIA gradually advances ray tracing and DLSS, more and more games support these two technologies. For example, the third-person adventure game "Control" developed by Remedy Studios and published by 505Games. In order to give full play to the performance of RTCore, a variety of ray tracing rendering effects introduced by NVIDIA have been added to "Control", such as transparent and opaque reflections, indirect diffuse reflections, and contact shadows.
Considering the specifications of GeForceRTX3050Ti, when using the mechanical revolution Z3Air to test "Control", ray tracing is preset to "Medium", and check the "NVIDIA Ultra High Sampling" option to enable DLSS2.0 (rendering resolution is 1280×720).
It can be seen from the test results that the game "Control" still has higher requirements for the hardware configuration when the light tracking is turned on, but after the DLSS2.0 technology is turned on, the frame number of the mechanical revolution Z3Air has increased Around 60%, the magnitude is quite significant! Under the premise of basically not losing picture quality, it can also meet the higher frame rate of 60FPS.
In addition to "Control", there are more and more 3A masterpieces that support DLSS in the market, which also provides a greater use for the GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU of the NVIDIAAmpere architecture. For example, in the game "Outriders", the default ultra-high special effects are turned on by default. If DLSS is not turned on, the mechanical revolution Z3Air can only run at the edge of 60FPS. When fighting, it will face frame drop and turn on. After DLSS and select the balance mode, the average frame rate has been further improved,The frame rate above 70FPS can be stabilized in most scenes.
"Call of Duty: Warzone" has excellent hardware optimization. Even if DLSS is not turned on, the mechanical revolution Z3Air can still meet the average frame rate of more than 60FPS + in the battle with the Core i7-11800H + GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU. Of course, after turning on DLSS, A further frame rate increase of more than 20% was obtained.
Professional performance and productivity application test:
In addition to game performance, we also test the professional performance and productivity of the mechanical revolution Z3Air equipped with GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU.
SPECviewperf2020 test results are as follows:
For the Adobe three-piece suits (Photoshop, Lightroom, PremierePro) frequently used by more content creators, this time we will use the Procyon professional benchmark script produced by UL to show:
provided by ULProcyon A photo editing benchmark test, which uses Lightroom to import, process, and modify selected images. In the second part of the test, Photoshop photos will be edited and layered multiple times. The Lightroom version tested this time is 10.2, and the Photoshop version is 22.3.1. The total score is 7544, the subproject ImageRetouching image retouching score is 6917, and the BatchProcessing batch processing score is 8230.
In addition to the photo editing benchmark test, ULProcyon also provides a video editing benchmark test, which uses PremierePro to export video project files to a common format. Each video project includes various editing, adjustments and effects. The benchmark score is based on the time required to export the video. This is also a workload that allows GPU codecs to play a huge role.
can be seen from the test results,With the new generation of NVENC encoder and NVDNC decoder supported by the NVIDIAAmpere architecture of the GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU, the mechanical revolution Z3Air has high efficiency in both H.264 and H.265 video output.
In addition, the GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU also supports the NVIDIABroadcast live broadcast application. Through this application, the notebook can be converted into a live broadcast studio. The principle is to use the third-generation TensorCore of the NVIDIAAmpere architecture to optimize the external environment with AI algorithms. Make live broadcasts easier; the latest version 1.2 also adds AI-enhanced room echo cancellation and video noise cancellation functions, and updated the audio noise reduction function, which can effectively eliminate the sounds of cats, dogs, and insects. Improve the audio and video quality during live broadcast.
Open the NVIDIABroadcast live broadcast application, which provides three options, which is very intuitive. The first is the noise cancellation function of the microphone and speaker (the room echo cancellation beta can also be selected), which can effectively improve the effect of recording audio.
In addition to the microphone and speaker optimization, the NVIDIABroadcast live broadcast application can also optimize the camera recording effect. For example, the TensorCore algorithm brings background blurring, background removal, background replacement and other functions, which are powerful and easy to use.

Summary:
At present, more than 140 gaming notebooks with GeForceRTX3050Ti and RTX3050 GPU models have been on sale. , The mechanical revolution Z3Air of this evaluation is one of them.
Through the evaluation data, it can be found intuitively that compared to the previous x50 series GPUs,The GPU performance of the new GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook computer has improved significantly, and it can even be close to the performance of the Turing-architecture dessert-grade RTX2060 notebook GPU. Combined with the latest processor, it allows mainstream-priced gaming laptops to run most 3A games at 1080P resolution. Good frame rate performance, and relatively excellent productivity performance, these are the previous low-end games equipped with GTX1650 notebook GPU can not provide.
For users who want to experience the latest NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the new gaming laptop equipped with GeForceRTX3050Ti notebook GPU has great purchase value; of course, considering that the next-level GeForceRTX3050 notebook GPU also uses the GA107 core, and The scale retention is relatively complete, the performance loss is not much estimated, and the price/performance ratio is better. It is the price/performance choice for players with lower purchase budgets.
