The charts are from the Verge, not exactly known for their integrity in regards to anything.

It's also with DLSS on, so you could just as easily have the framerate be 100 FPS, 1000 FPS, or 10000 FPS. The GPU doesn't actually have to render the frame in that case, it just has to have a pixel buffer ready to offload to whatever hardware sends it over the link to the display. Apparently some people actually really like this, but it isn't rendering by any reasonable definition.

Maybe this is the better link:

It's about the RTX 5070 but the criticisms still hold for the RTX 5050 since Nvidia is still doing the same shenanigans.

Looking at 20 articles, they seem to be biased when it comes to AMD vs Nvidia.

I don't follow everything but they give flak to AMD too, maybe in a different way.

Calling out NVIDIA's bullshit (and oh boy did they deliver a lot of it in the past few years) is not the same as being biased.

Why would anyone trust Nvidia to not stretch the truth, especially with a press release? It's been shown multiple times they inflate their numbers.

This is creative marketing from nVidia. Notice the "With DLSS 4".

That's AI frame hallucination which the 5050 has.

Without the DLSS, the numbers from independent reviewers has basically been exactly on par with the previous generations (about 10% increase in performance).

That's Nvidia's marketing slide and if you note the fine print they are tested at different settings. The RTX 5050 is using 4x frame gen which the 3050 isn't. Techpowerup has the RTX 5050 as being 20% faster than the 3050 give or take, which is certainly not enough to justify upgrading
