![NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Review - Good, But NOT Great! [5 Cards TESTED]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0Cfkj6rOvm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Getting cards from vendors now Steve, been here a while and so happy with what you've achieved! Your future is bright!
He used to before, years ago. Not sure why he stopped. Maybe just decided to stop getting review samples for some reason
Yeah years ago he was lended a mini 1070 from zotac I believe so he could use it in a video. This is nothing new but glad he's getting back to it.
He has done for like 4 years
Palit actually sent this card to Budget Builds so I think Palit is nicer now
For a while you could not get any with the god damned crypto miners and scalpers.
Here in Lithuania it was available two days ago, my local shop where friends work had 5 units of GIGABYTE 3050 Price was 492euros and it was sold instantly. Funny how something like GTX 980 TI from 2014 performs similarly but 3050 cost as much :) Nvidia's phrase "You buy more you get more" didn't age well....
Now is not the time to buy GPU's
Wait 6 months
@@vubhuhjkbhubohjb 6 months from now it just gets worse
enjoy it before the russians invade
@@tHeWasTeDYouTh Hopefully they dont.
Yeah, prices just came out here in New Zealand. Cheapest model is NZD$660, or 390 euros.
My local Microcenter had 3 models available this morning, with the cheapest being $380. This card was never meant to hit MSRP.
Figures. I kind of figured the $250 price point was too good to be true when the thing could hit 1070 speeds. I suppose it's better than it just being snapped up by scalpers. It occurs to me that all this online shopping sucks because it makes it so easy for scalpers to scalp
u are lucku, in Poland now chepest price is around $600, probobly becouse we earn less :)
in Euro you would by 500$
@@jeremygregorio7472 1070 with ray tracing support and more compact and power efficiency
Yeah I had a feeling that msrp wouldn’t be what was stated
Ah yes... The 750ti, those where the good old days... I wish I could relive them, oh wait I do
I'm also still using it lol, and plan to replace it with 3050 if possible. I won't be leaving the 50s series sooner
I am using a R7 260X. I upgraded everything. bought a 1440p high refresh free-sync monitor, upgraded my CPU and RAM last week. but I refuse to pay a single buck over msrp for this already overpriced GPUs. thanks AMD and NVIDIA for making otherwise entry level
@@JaimeIsJaime I'm feeling this, part of me says to replace my ~15 year old monitor and the other half of me says VR at 45 fps and half-res isn't acceptable.
Yea, after that Nvidia has never made another budget card. I know that tons of people bought the 1050Ti scam card and have spent their lives playing at garbage frame rates rather than getting an AMD card.... Even the GTX 1650 offered lower performance than an RX570 in alot of scenarios.... Now the 6500XT is the first "budget" card in a long time and it still doesn't really exceed the RX580 for around the same money 5 years later.
Good old days, bought one to attempt to upgrade a prebuilt with a GT705, turns out it couldn't fit so now it's been sitting inside a cuoboard for like 6.5 years haha
3050 would be a really good GPU in a normal market and at usual 50 series pricing.
Yeah performance wise it's almost a refresh of the GTX 1070. Only marginally better, and with roughly the same price as the 1070 almost 6!!!! years ago. Edit: 150-200 € would be a good price for it imho.
$150 wouldve made it insane yet $500+ will be the norm till 2027
@@erikbritz8095 Looking at previous "50" cards, $150 seems about right if the market was normal right now.

I would love to see more stock of these, but I have a feeling this product launch will be very Ryzen 3300x like.
well the 3300x was an OEM part only lol, they already have these cards from 4 AIB partners on benchmark videos
@@kyles8524 idk about your country but u could buy the 3300x for a while at PC stores outright in Australia.
@@kyles8524 The 3300x was not an OEM only part. They had them in my local Microcenter. You may be thinking of the 5300g which was released recently and is OEM only.
There are two variants of 3050
The one that's released now is based on cut down 3060 dies (GA106) and will be probably one time only.
The other variant is presumably coming later which should be efficient and have wider availability and cheaper (in theory) since it will be based on smaller die (GA107) with similar performance
This is basically what Moore's Law is dead already confirmed with retailers. This is a card that Nvidia is barely actually nothing and just cutting down some leftover die from another project instead
You are pure legend , i hope you reach 500K subs soon . Best videos ive seen on whole youtube in this category , i mean benchmarks and pc stuff , unique way of edit and commentary makes you better then other benchmark channel for me .
Nice to see you got your hands on it early from Palit!
RTX 3050 is available in India just for $800 only! Great buy!
Ouch, that's too damn high...
Yeah its for 600-700 dollar mark in India. Crazy pricing.

@@dushypal469😂 what about the tickets? Who will pay for those
@@mindrover777 haha could turn ot into a business...thanks😂😂
I like your "fps targeting" approach. Maybe you can make another video about this GPU with a 100 or 120 fps target, including 540p to 1080p DLSS comparisons.
just wanted to say well done for getting on the media coverage list with PALIT hopefully you can now start adding other brands to your list for other items to showcase
Nice for getting the card sent to you dude!!!
I really hope they start pumping these things out like crazy. It really should be a bit better for the price compared to the 2060 and 3060, but it still seems to get the job done and has DLSS which even with a 3070 and up, is a great feature to have.
The 40 series needs to start off with a low teir card and a high teir card, not just the 4080 and 4090. A 4050 and a 4080 should be the first cards launched. IMO
I think they will milk these $500+ rtx 3050s till sept. Then drop the RTX 4050 cheaper at $250-$290 muchhh later this is so they make money first then keep people happy later.
a 4010 is my dream
@@erikbritz8095 First Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 GAMING OC 8G I see getting sold here in the Netherlands costs 549 Euro
When the market absorbs the high end cards Nvidia has no incentive to release entry level cards. They'd rather sell the large margin product. The fact the 3050 is out means crypto apocalypse's end is on sight.
@@kajurn791 I hope you're 👍

Thanks :)
I love the design.
Btw m8 I’ve been following you for a while and I love how your channel has developed. Thanks for the great content!
3050 on release!?
Moving up in the world buddy it's great to see you getting stock from the source for reviews :)
Been here since sub 1k subscriber's!
I really like the Palit cards simplicity. Shame I’ve never seen them in the US.
I'am stick to Palit since GTX660 )
They're abundant here in Asia
i was SUPER interested in their passively cooled 1050ti back when it dropped. glad i ultimately went with a 1060 6gb though, the lifespan of this card is unparalleled.
It's a pretty good card that can do ray tracing with DLSS. But good luck getting one for anything less than 75-100% over MSRP or w/o having to buy it in a "bundle" with another piece of gear that you don't really want.
I'd really love to upgrade my 1060 3GB but I cannot stomach having to pay $450+ US for a 3050.
nvidia removed the msrp, now they just sell to each vendor for the price they want
Yea... It makes no sense. Just get a RX6600. The more that people buy Nvidia the more they get away with scamming everyone.
@Randy Names Yea, exactly. There are a few games that have a couple small RT effects and it should be fine in those games. However those games RT effects being small.... also have a small visual impact. So its not like you would miss them if you didn't use them.
screw ray tracing. no real pc people want to play at 30 fps. anything under 60 is heresy same with playing of effen low detail. you might as well just get a console at that point.
@@XX-121 So true, but some games have minimal effects and you can play with RT on without a problem. As I said above though those affects aren't so noticable either... Riftbreaker has real RT and I can notice it... But my 6800 can do 90FPS 4K high settings with RT on...
Thats and awesome review, keep up the good work mate!!!!
Thank you for the review!🔥❤️
i'm surprised you actually managed to get this card
edit: guys i know vendors send out stuff, this was supposed to be a joke on the current situation of acquiring a graphics card at time of release or at msrp
He has contacts...
With almost half million sub sure just about any vendor would give him products to review. First time I have seen he do it. He he did cus its a budget card
im surprised you havent, its been 2 years. if you really wanted one youd get one. quit whinning that shit is so annoying. literally go on facebook marketplace, ebay, buy a prebuilt with a card for the same price, join those discoord servers that alert you when cards are in stock... yooou have so many options yet all you do is complain. smh.
@@BeatlessAnimations Yeah...in the USA or UK...
@@BeatlessAnimations agree, I managed to get a 3070 no LHR used off someone because I kept talking with others who managed get many gpus for 700 then I further traded my 3070 back in august for a LHR 3080 msi gaming Z with 300 cash on top it’s not too hard all you need to is get up try.
Great look at a new card, nice to know what it's capable of even if the prices are pretty unknown. I had hoped the -50 cards wouldn't need more power than just the pcie slot but I suppose that low power of a card may not even be made into a full discrete GPU nowadays.
It's so weird my 9600GT didn't have one. I was so confused at first.
Honestly love this review. Instead of others always hitting high-ultra settings. Its nice to see which settings closely hit 60FPS.
Really appreciate the video. As of March 20, writing this comment. This card here in BAHRAIN is currently 149.900 BHD which is about 398 US Dollars.
I always look forward to your videos bro
3:44 I was anxiously expecting a "Nice" after saying the average FPS
Yes , my disappointment was huge .. One does not simply see 69 and not say „nice“
looks very good for an "entry level" card. it smashed the amd rx 6500 xt at least. it's a pity I won't be able to buy it cause the price will skyrocket.

@@kirisuma2186 I mean, it barely get over my 145 cad bought rx 570 4gb, that's just deceiving.
@@SirBojo4 My question is this, how does the 570 4gb handle over the 6500XT. I know there is a 4gb and 8gb model for the 570 and 580.
@@urlond9371 i own an rx570 4gb and also bought a 6500xt for $199 to put in my sons pc.
The 6500xt is faster than an rx570 in some situations, but a little slower in situations where the graphics settings hit the vram hard. Both my pc use pcie 3.0.
Using a newer system with pcie 4.0 the 6500xt is a little faster than rx570. Definitely not an “upgrade” for me but replaced the 2gb gtx950 in my sons pc and he couldn’t be happier with the massive jump in performance he got.
@@evers6214 bruh thats a pretty decent pricing, the 6500xt is literally priced at my whole month salary in my area
Excelent review 😁🏆. Just what I needed!! New subscriber.
Great video as always, really nice to see some positivity on this card.
Hope there'll be a version that works with just the PCIe slot power, these cards are usually nice to throw in a decent office computer.
1080p 200fps excel gaming
The card is basícally a 1660 Ti with rtx features, which is not amazing considering the 2060 is still around, but as an entry level gpu it's fine. Just hope people can find it for a reasonable price
I would have liked a comparison to similarily priced older used cards like 970/980, 1070 or 2060 at the end or in the conclusion as your viewers are on a more strict budget for the most cases. Thank you for your real life testing!
I love these little Palit Gpus, I bought a 3060 palit storm X and it is an absolute gem. The price point of the palit cards is very competitive and they hang about on the shelf a little longer than the more blingy cards so are a good option for someone looking for a gpu
It's basically an RTX enabled 1070 which isn't a bad thing if you can get it at MSRP.
@Kzn Nzn that's the problem
Dont know why you kept texture resolution to medium and low in some cases. Isnt it impacts mostly the video memory and just a bit the overall performance.
I didn't get it too.

I'm glad Plait sent you the card, they are of good quality, reliable! :D I too prefer to set the RGB to depend on the temperatures from cold to hot.
My beast of a 980ti still outperforms the newest cards. Can't beat that!
980ti in 2022 video any time soon? Would love to see your thoughts.
Hate to rain on your parade, but... this is the weakest card in the generation, and the 980 Ti is outperformed by every other 30 series card, even the 3060 is about 20% faster.
Yes! Would love to see that video

@@erikbritz8095 It's a beast, literally matches 1070, 2060, 3050. Maybe by 4000 series it will finally be outdated. I only ever want to upgrade to a 3060 or higher as it's simply not worth upgrading to anything less!
I had one in my cart at 250, but the thing clearly sold out before I could enter payment details. Shame!
Hopefully it’ll be back
Thanks for the including RT clips on the video. One thing which i`m curious , was that single fan card loud when you played?
Watched this again as I love these itx based gpus 🥰🥰👍 and after many months now of gaming on an itx version of this GPU in one of my builds I can say it’s an amazing GPU for gaming …. Both 1080p and 1440p gaming on new and older AAA titles and more. Great value (got mine at launch for $12USD above MSRP/ RRP) and being a single fan model doesn’t affect temps or fan noise!!!
In general I don't bother with ray-tracing unless I can still stay at a steady 60 FPS. Cyberpunk looks very pretty with it on but I get huge drops below that even with DLSS so I don't bother.
I can get 70-80 with rtx on using a 3070ti and a r5 5600x at 1080p.
@Kzn Nzn Best looking open world first person. I think the performance is worth the trade off
@Kzn Nzn It does feel empty I agree
@@GhettoPCbuilds I beg to differ. I played it on my 5600 XT on med high and ultra ray tracing on my cousin's 3070, it looks good at some angles but barren at most. Ghost of Tsushima had a better looking open world even if it was made flat.
You can, but you need something else than the 3050.
The only rtx 3050 sku that makes sense tbh.
If available at msrp, this would be a really good buy.
I have the 1660 super stormx and I would definitely get this instead if I could just for DLSS and nvdia broadcast features. (Very useful when working from home!)
They won't hit msrp, they are all 330 and plus, so this is more like a rtx 2060 replacement ...
Might have to pop this in a build for my sister. She only plays minecraft tbh so I think this would be nice for her since she might want to play other games. Thanks for the review.
I really like this card, great performance for price that's if the prices don't sky rocket high like the others. I love to get one of these sometime down the line to upgrade my portable PC I built. I'm currently running 3080 ti in personal rig, also great video as always! 😃❤️
I stayed up all night ready to buy a 3050, refreshed the page like 50 times, 3 minutes before "launch" it went from "coming soon" to "out of stock" after one refresh. It's a hard knock's life
Wow 😔
F.
In the UK the MSRP is meant to be £250 and for an xx50 card that is pretty expensive. The cheapest I can find one is for £360.... Dififfcult times to build a PC
RX6500XT... it plays games just fine in 1080p especially if you adjust textures of AAA games to not exceed the VRAM.
Yeah if you build a PC from scratch a 6500XT/6600/6600XT seem like the better options. If you really need Nvidia the low end models of 3050 cards or (maybe in some markets) even a 12GB 2060...
@@RS-nq8xk yea, its hard now to get anything Nvidia. If you don't need CUDA, its best to go with RDNA2 especially with the consoles being RDNA2. The new games coming out are much faster on RDNA2.
I've seen single fan palit go for as low as £289 on scan and novatech. even cheaper on ebay. I got dual fan for £300 from softcat.
It's actually the only card that has seen decent stock levels with constants restocks all the time cause it's of no use to miners. you need to remember nvidia msrp doesn't include tax which is 20% in uk and since this gpu didn't have a founders edition manufacturers tend to sell a bit higher as they decide how much extra to charge for their build/fans/rgb on the card etc.
very good content to present and u did it well, but my question is what's a difrence of palit 3050 stomx and pali 3050 dual oc or normal one?
Thank's man, I have the same setup
When ray tracing first came out the 2060 was considered inadequate for implementation of it therefore I bought a 2070Super. Now they release the 3050 with ray tracing and I have to wonder if it wouldnt have been a better idea to have installed something else in place of the ray tracing cores ,say more cache memory or compute units? But its just a marketing gimmick anyway right
With Dlss it works great. Without dlss not so much
Compared to what a boon dlss is, ray tracing is still like nothing more then a resource hog gimmick
Raytracing is the gimmick, RT cores have a ton of useful, but situational features.
Most importantly, DLSS helps with 1440p and even VR (if you can set it up correctly).
There's also stuff like Nvidia broadcast if you do streaming.
I own both a 1660s and 2070s and personally, I find these features very useful.
If we were in an ideal world, this is definitely a buy vs the already very good value 1660s since they are priced very closely. But again, reality sucks.
minecraft is basically the only reason reason RAY TRACING is even relevant right now
Thats not how this works.
Its a cut down 3060 die they cant just make the rt cores dissappear
Looks like a good card, tbh. I like the styling and form factor too. Just a shame about how over-priced they all are...
From 3:17 until 3:39.. I missed everything you were saying and rooting for you to get that damn door to close XD
Thanks for the great video.
It’s refreshing to have a review of a budget card where the reviewer isn’t whining about it’s performance at “Ultra settings with Uber high resolution texture packs!”
This is relevant, especially after the same channels that panned budget cards ran a piece saying “it’s stupid to run max settings.”
Ya I hate that. I get that it's useful for pushing cards to their limit to chart their performance but it heavily skews the results.
For example a GTX 1060 might get ~75 FPS @ Medium/High settings and barely 40 FPS at Ultra and yet there's only a slight increase in visual quality between the two, or perhaps you have to sacrifice something dumb like volumetric fog or not use things like TAA.
Conversely, something like an RTX 3080 might get 157 FPS @ Medium/High settings and 110 FPS at Ultra (theoretically, same game as the GTX 1060)
So it makes the GTX 1060 look way way worse than it actually is. Like I said, it skews the results and doesn't show good real-world examples, which makes people think they NEED those 80-class and 800-class cards to get an enjoyable experience.
The gpu was struggling at medium settings at 1080p in cp 2077, imagine future real current games, it is very realistic to test games to se how well it will fare, and this gpu was born underpowered.
While testing Fortnite you always must turn the settings down to low, since its eSports game literally almost nobody plays it over low preset, so high preset results are irrelevant if we don't get low settings results as well.
Benchmark don't need the settings to be messed with. Just Max it and check the fps. Whats the point of running on low preset on benchmarks anyway?
What I'd like to see is a break down of each individual acronym that these GPU companies use in their GPU settings and an explanation of what it does, ECT.
I got a Single fan ASUS Phoenix for $250 from Newegg shuffle. Looking forward to playing around with it!
Well done - superb video as usual! For those lucky enough to get this today at RPP its a decent(ish) deal. For the people who bought it at £399....commiserations
Former, not likely. Latter, indeed.
I think it's a wonderful 1660 Ti with 2 extra Gb's of VRAM. 1660 Ti was a helluva card! And with some DLSS, why not?
the 1660 ti didn't cost 400+ dollars though
@@ketrub yeah...but it does now, and it's the same kind of performance. Shouldn't even be a 30 series card truthfully.
see every other major review channels dont show what it takes to get 60 fps with the new cards. this is so much more helpful.
Your content is absolutely fantastic 😊😊
Nvidia marketing is trying to disguise that it's a $300+ card, labeled to compete with cards that sold _new_ for around $99 USD. That's one gripe against it.
That said, this would have been a great choice for handling the grunt of encoding for the PC I was arranging for that purpose.
Problem is, I still needed something around a 3080 or better for my main PC, first.
Palit makes great cards ! I always look for this brand.
2:35 swear i thought i just got a notifcation
got the gainward 3060 pegasus oc,nearly the same 1 fan design(gainward=palits eu division what ive read),really great cards for small form factor cases.
This Graphics Card is so small, it's almost looks great to build on sleeper PCs! I was going to build a Sleeper PC but I didn't knew this graphics card exist!
Can you run Lost in Vivo on terrible GPUs on your next video? Thanks.
I was shocked when I realised that this low end GPU has 8 GB VRAM. Seeing the rapid change of tech makes me sad. Even 4-5 years ago you could play almost every game with a decent framerate only with a 2 GB GPU.
Yep, nowadays games like Cyberpunk and Resident Evil Village use upwards of 6+ GB for 1080p high settings, 8 GB really feels like it's the bare minimum now
Yeah I made 2GB go a long way back in the day 😂
5 years ago the 1050 was released with only 2 GB VRAM...that's a huge jump.
@RO Almost only GPUs from older series are below this. It is the weakest RTX 3000 card. So this is low end.
@RO 1660 is the sbsolute low end nowadays for a decent experience. Suffering from 30-59 fps is not an option lol
Came out in the netherlands today. Chepeast one was 550 euros, most expensive 600. It's crazy
Congratulations on being provided this graphics card!
Huh, I didn't realize any of the 3050s would have 8gb of vram. How would this compete with a rx 6600?
its about 20-25% worse than a rx6600
gets stomped by the 6600. its alot better than the 6500 xt tho. about 5 percent better than a gtx 1070 also
Gets stomped by the RX 6600, but that's to be expected, given that the 6600 is meant to be a $329 card and the 3050 is meant to be a $249 card. Comparing different price points doesn't help.
Run Fortnite with DX12. Sometimes there's stutters. If so, restart the game. You get an insane performance uplift, and it utilises the GPU a lot better.
Apparently if you disable fullscreen optimizations you get performance improvements in that game.

Been watching many reviews on the RTX 3050. From what I can see this card performs similarly to the older GTX 1070 (released June 2016) and the newer GTX 1660 Super (released late October 2019). Enabling ray tracing also seems to significantly reduce the performance of this card.
Yeah, and from what I have seen in Japan the pricing for these has made a non super 1660 for 20% lower prize and a 12GB 2060 for like 10% more seem like good value... haha
Thanks for the video!
Based on all the other reviews I have seen on this 3050, I might as well stick with my GTX1070. Exact same performance.
Edit: Well, no DLSS though...
Or RT
Well yes, Nvidia's logic is that the 50 is the same as the 70 of 2 past generations.
950=670
1050=770
1650=970
3050=1070

I got one of these to tie me over, managed to cop one from a decent retailer with next day free shipping for 230 quid. I know it's not great compared to what it used to be but it's certainly not bad in the current market at all. Google shopping works wonders sometimes...
Can I ask which retailer you got it from?
You should do the ultimate tiny gpu comparison between this one and the 1650super and the rx5500xt
its basically a rtx 2050 in terms of where it stands in the nvidia lineup. about 10 percent slower than a 2060. id compare it to a 1660 ti but has dlss and raytracing capabilities.
A laptop 2060 perform like 1660 ti too
@@plains69 that's the mobile version of the 2060 though. The mobile chips do not perform on the same level as their desktop counterpart due to TDP limitations.
@@Punisher6791 ik but the joke is there
@@plains69 not 10 percent. 2060 performs much higher, around 20 to 30 percent min.
G'day Random,
No listings where I shop in Sydney yet but PC Case Gear (Hardware Unboxed Sponsor) in Melbourne has listings,
the ASUS ASUS RTX3050 Phoenix $429AUD (Australian RRP/MSRP) is listed 'Sold out'
all other models like the Gigabyte Eagle OC Pre-Order starting at $609AUD up to ASUS ROG Strix RTX3050 OC $799AUD
great video keep it upp!!!!
If price ever gets under control for this card, it would be pretty good. It’s far far better than the mess that AMD shit out on to market.
Its also 100% more expensive right now.
This is a solid card for 1080p+.
It sounds like it's currently overpriced, though.
for your frame dips i usally lock my fram rate towards the high it can be and usally workds well
I've got the Zotac non OC version of the 3050 and as long as you aren't expecting to run games in 4K, all settings on their highest and Raytracing enabled then it's a great little card for 1080p and 1440p gaming as DLSS is really the saviour of this card. However, I can only recommend this card if it's at or below RRP/MSRP
the tumbnail genuenly reminds me of Doc Oc's line "The power of the sun in the palm of my hand". I guess it fits
My dude! I have the same gigabyte 1080 you’ve done previous videos on. I think a good idea would be this card vs the 1080 since they are kinda similarly spec’d. Just an idea. You the man!
The 1080 destroys a 3050.
i run most of the games on high-very high at FHD and they run at 60fps mostly. Even if 3050 is close in performance or a bit weaker it should not cost above 300e. If they sell it for over 400e, that gonna be complete rubbish.
@@milosstojanovic4623 I would imagine the only games that you may have trouble with would-be like cyberpunk or Watch Dogs. There are very few games with extremely high system requirements especially in 1080P today.
The majority of games still run just fine with like ultra or high settings in 1080P with a GTX 1080.
@@Jimster481 did not have problem with CP and that was last year with old 1.04 patch, 55-60 average on mostly high, did not try ultra because that's too much for GTX 1080. Farcy 6 also runs at high very high 50-60 fps but with hd texture pack. The only card i would consider instead of this is 6600xt or 3060ti, but prices are insulting, 800e plus for 3060ti is crazy.
@@milosstojanovic4623 Yea the 6600xt is quite fast, matching a 2080ti in a few games. On average it is more like a 2080 Super and in the worst case it is like a 2070 super. The performance of all these cards in different games swings quite a bit now regardless of what brand you go with.
One day in the future I may try to get one of these for my wife’s PC which currently has an evga 1060 3 gb single fan. Her itx build was fun and is a little dated now but she doesn’t need much
Its fun to see a card of that size again
always loved those small Palit cards
Got zotac version at overclockers for £320 which I guess I'm happy enough about
Hello RGINHD why not include the gou clock speed in the MSI Afterbruner overlay??
You should talk about FSR as well for games like Far Cry 6 and others that supports it would be nice
now try it with older tech with ddr3 memory
great video
I'd like to see a follow up on this card using NIS with higher graphics quality settings.
"thundermaster"......... Sounds like the nickname for the kid in a summer camp who broke the loudest wind. Nice review!
RIGHT ON MAN YOU GOT ONE!
One thing that is not discussed is the height of the card which is taller than the case bracket. It makes fitment to smaller cases quite challenging.
Thats the same thing i do with my rgb. I set it to run temperature sensor readings
Lucky you where, in France the 280€ version are gone in 15 min and even some customs at about 500 was gone that's insane honestly.
Great vid as usual! I've just managed to bag the non-OC version of this card at RRP so looking forward to testing it out this vid was useful. Question - I was thinking about putting this in my sons rig, he has my old components an i5 4690k and a Gigabyte z97 gaming 3 motherboard (pcie 3 x16 I think and I have a pcie wifi in there too) Would the 3050 perform ok in this older rig or would it be overly bottlenecked/hampered by the cpu/board? He's running a 1050ti currently.
for full hd i think 3050 will be bottlnecked by cpu. if you have 1440p screen, then you should be ok.
