BREAKING: Mayumi Tanaka, voice actress of Monkey D. Luffy announces that she will retire at the end of One Piece.
She has been dubbing Luffy for half of her 44 years of Voice Acting Career. She recently said that her Anime Voice Acting Career wants to end with Luffy.

Seems fair tbh.

I know it's a bit of a shit idea to go from a GTX 1650M to an RTX 3050M (both 4 GB GDDR6) at this point. Believe me: I do. I know it'd be more worth it to upgrade to at the very least a 6 GB RTX GPU right now (from a GTX 1650M).

TL;DR version:
Is it worth it to get this RTX 3050 laptop right now? Or should I just buy my wife a proper work laptop right now, and save up for a future gaming laptop model (by then upper middle class laptops will probably have 6-8 GB VRAM at very affordable prices) 3-4 years down the line? Because I'm more than willing to get by with my current laptop (which is doing just dandy in the games I'm currently playing).

Now consider the following:
1. The laptop model in question is available right now for roughly the same price as an Acer Aspire 5 or Asus Vivobook X15 business laptops with i5-1235U/i5-1240P and iGPU only (both with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB NVMe SSD) and offers a slightly better CPU (Ryzen 5 5600H).
2. It is from Croma (their Wikipedia page) who are offering an extended warranty; they will only take it and get it serviced through official channels, without me having to worry about anything; store is also close to home; and I do have excellent customer care experiences with them (only their in-store billing experience is slow as ****, but they at least give tea & snacks while you wait ). I also have reward points with them that I can redeem (I have bought from them with my existing customer id four mobile phones, a tablet, and a television). They are also throwing in a very high quality laptop bag that'll probably last longer than the laptop, which others are not offering.
3. Could help when Halo Infinite finally gets DLSS 2.0 in a future update (though RTX 3050 already does 1.5 times as well as GTX 1650M in this game); also for this one game I'm waiting on (which will definitely come with it, considering it's sequel already has DLSS 2.1 support).
4. The slightly reduced battery life is absolutely no issue for me (7 hours versus 8.5 hours for the Aspire 7 on a full charge). Battery life is more important to the wife anyway (who will take my Aspire 7 if I take this RTX 3050 laptop).

---

My only questions are as such:
1. Will DLSS help in say . . . upscaling 720p or 900p to look like 1080p or 1440p? And will it cause any problems like artefacts or game-crashing?
2. Is it worth it to move from one 4 GB GPU to another 4 GB GPU just for DLSS (albeit the chip is 30-35% more powerful even without DLSS in the equation)?
3. Is it also worth it . . . considering the CPU is also only 30% more powerful (albeit better in terms of longer term performance, as it won't throttle itself when gaming for long times as a U-series CPU would).

Even the manga's end is nowhere in sight.
