Nvidia RTX 3050 for Frigate: YOLOv9 and RF-DETR Inference Times

RTX 3050 Frigate benchmarks with the ONNX detector, plus RTX 3060/3070/5060 Ti comparisons and driver requirements.

last reviewed 2026-10-19 newest Frigate 0.18.2Hardware in this guide: Nvidia RTX 2060 · Nvidia RTX 3050 · Nvidia RTX 3060 · Nvidia RTX 3070 · Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti · Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti · Nvidia RTX A4000

Nvidia GPUs run Frigate detection through the onnx detector (CUDA Graphs since 0.17). The RTX 3050 is the cheapest card in the docs table; we include other Nvidia rows for context.

Known issues and gotchas

  • Requirements: host driver ≥545, Compute Capability ≥5.0, nvidia-container-runtime (docs). GTX 900-series dropped in 0.17 (0.17.0 notes).
  • YOLO-NAS is not accelerated with CUDA Graphs (marked ❌ in docs); YOLOv9 and RF-DETR are (docs).
  • Use the TensorRT execution provider: an RTX 3060 user went from 28–34 ms to 10–14 ms on YOLOv9-t by enabling it (db-140).
  • Power: a dGPU draws far more than an iGPU/NPU; an RTX 2060 build reports 95–150 W loaded (db-132/133).
  • CUDA Graph hang reported on an RTX 5070 Ti in 0.17.2 (db-155).
