Today's stats
#11 of 61 RTX 3050 PCs on value today (▲ 1 since yesterday)
Power cost: about $5.09 a month, $61.10 a year.
An estimate: about 310W from the wall while gaming (the RTX 3050's rated 130W, the CPU and the rest of the PC, through the power supply). 18¢ is about the 2026 US average; use the rate on your bill. Idle and desktop use draw far less.

How much gaming its price buys today: its graphics card's speed per dollar, then its price against other PCs with that card, any real price drop, how well its CPU, memory and storage fit the card, and its brand. 5 FPS per $100 (Fortnite (Benchmark), 1440p).

Lines at 60 FPS: 60 is smooth, 144 fills a high-refresh monitor (bright green 144 and up, light green 60 and up, yellow under 60). "est." means an estimate, not a run on this exact PC: the average of Justin's tests of PCs with the same CPU and graphics card, or estimated from his benchmarks of similar cards. A number without it is Justin's own measurement of this exact PC. Any setting but Max, native, frame generation off is an estimate ("est."); with frame generation on, the number is frames shown, and "feels like" is the frames the PC renders. Every game we cover
