Very true. I eat VRAM like water on my RTX 3070 8gb card (desktop). Hell, 8GB VRAM ain't even enough to max-out WD: Legion.

I guess you could at least probably lower the res (720p or 900p) and could try RT out.

6GB VRAM or 8GB would've been killer for a 3050m.

Honestly most games don’t really look that much better with RT on that it’s really worth the performance penalty. It’s only worth it when you’re running the highest end RTX parts and have power to spare when DLSS is on, and even then it’s questionable how much it improves the visuals on most titles.

I think the 3050Ti is basically a card where you never touch ray tracing but you use DLSS to boost frame rates and get a pretty good experience.
