Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • my wife has a i3-10100 and a 3050 8GB and gets 50-60fps with a 3050 with DLSS performance on, at Medium/1440p
  • If you do plan using used then the 3050 8gb is gonna be much better for your usecase tbh You just got unlucky with the used market, i never had issues with it
  • 3050 8gb (avoid 3050 6gb)
  • the 2600 is in another build with a 3050 8gb, surprisingly good for 1080p.
  • If you are GPU shopping in that price range, then consider the 3050 8gb instead of the 1660super 6gb. Used prices I'm sure vary in your region, but in the US they're very close in price. 3050 has more vram, newer encoders, and technicall...

Cons

  • the 5700xt is about 50% faster than the 3050 8GB, but it is older and is not able to do raytracing, (which at that performance level isn't great anyways)
