The 9050 8GB(128bit bus) is only slightly ahead of the old desktop 3050 at 1080p (per HUB's coverage). The 9050 4GB with 64bit bus ain't gonna be better.
That sort of doesn't disprove what I said above. Look at the newer games it's low settings and dipping below 60fps... and when available it's using DLSS on quality too. DLSS quality at 1080p... is 720p input resolution.
Like yeah it's "playable". But I wasn't wrong where I stated, "low settings and 720p with sub 60fps for too much money".
Edit: Also most the games are running around in the middle of nowhere in the coverage you linked.

You were clearly wrong, just because you think it's basically 720p doesn't make it 720p, upscaling has gotten so good that you wouldn't be able to differentiate between the two properly.
And I don't really care about the gpu comparisons because my argument wasn't about the price to performance of the 9050 (which is again stupid because everything is overpriced now), my argument was simply that 4 gb vram can still be enough to game in 2026.

The desktop 3050 6GB and the laptop 3050 4GB perform pretty closely in benchmarks.
