I'd recommend reading the rest of this thread as your questions have been addressed. Short answer, yes if you want to use higher quality upscalers like Jinc (and beyond) w/ tonemapping, a 3050 will be fine. And it's preferable to stick with nVidia.

I've always had AMD because I knew NVIDIA was having trouble managing 23.976 fps - did they solve this problem?

Is it possible to create custom resolutions with NVIDIA?

The RTX 3050 to which AMD model can it be equated?

Thank you

It got a lot better. Up to a point where most probably wouldn't care anymore.

Sure. madVRs automatic method doesn't seem to work anymore.Manual creation with some good old math (or trial and error) has always been fine.

None that fit quite well. It sits somewhere between the 6600 and the rather underwhelming 6500. If you go a generation back, it sits closer to a 5600 XT.
For NVIDIA, its similar to a previous-gen 2060, or jmone's 1660 Ti referenced above.

I heard they are also producing 2060s again to fill in the lower end market with more supply. Either one of those or a 3050 would definitely be good builds for a decent video playback experience.
The 3050 has the advantage of being HDMI 2.1 which is good for running new TVs at higher refresh rates without sacrificing anything else. AMD 6000 series has that as well of course, but not any previous gens from either vendor.

Any lower and you really run into iGPU territory - which still works, but you give up quality features of course.

PS:
I would recommend against a AMD 6500 specifically, not only did they cut down memory bandwidth dramatically, but also video encode/decode features are missing, which might come and haunt you for a video-playback specific build.

@hendrik

So a 3050 will be good for upscaling 2k->4K and dynamic tonemapping?
I really want to use only your software for upscaling and dynamic tonemapping since madvr is so Hardware hungry.

How good will the upscaling be with a 3050? I doubt it will run all your upscalers in highest quality right?

Hendrik:
I don't have a 3050 to test, so I cannot comment. But you can look at jmone's report from a 1660 Ti, which should be similar in performance.
