ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6 OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card - PCIe 4.0, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, 2-Slot Design, Axial-tech Fan Design, Steel Bracket, 3 Year Warranty

Working well as an upgrade in my stock chassis (HP Pavilion 590-p0024), I'd consider this the entry point for a GPU that's actually worth installing. It's low power, don't expect it to transform your old PC into a high performance system, but it'll allow most machines to run most modern games. Installation is as easy as it gets.

Do not listen to these people claiming this card can match the popular and cheap RX 580, because it can’t. The 580 is faster without the Ray-Tracing, which in my opinion, is worthless. I could care less about Ray-Tracing. What a waste of energy and huge amount of money. Well designed games don’t need it. Anyway the RX 3050 does exactly what the advertisers say it will as long as you set the settings to 1080p. They make it clear this is not a 4K video card. It will work in 4K but not in the newest AAA games. For me it got very good video scores in 1080p. If you want 4K then save your money as this is not your card. But if you are using an old Dell with one of Dells famous low powered power supplies and you want some sort of gaming experience, then this card is for you. Pros: Very low power demands Pretty and sharp visuals. Very easy to install. Just slide in the slot and you’re ready. Good gaming as long as you have mature and reasonable expectations. If you like old games then this card is for you as this will play all old games, such as Skyrim, all Quake games including Quake 2 RXT, all Diablo games including Diablo 4 if you set the visuals to 1080p, most Doom games if you set the card to 1080p. Any game made 2016 or before, runs great in games best visuals, have reasonable expectations. Outstanding Nvidia drivers. Cons: you’re fooling yourself if you think your going to Ray-Trace with this card on a new high demanding triple A game. Recommend worth five stars

Installed the ASUS Dual RTX 3050 6GB OC Edition in a budget-oriented build paired with a mid-range Intel CPU. Setup was straightforward, and the card powered up without any driver issues. For 1080p gaming, performance is solid in esports titles and lighter AAA games at medium to high settings. More demanding modern games may require adjusted settings, but overall frame rates remain playable. DLSS support helps improve performance in supported titles. The dual-fan design keeps temperatures controlled, and noise levels stay reasonable under load. Power consumption is also modest, making it suitable for builds that don’t require a high-wattage power supply. This card is best suited for entry-level gaming systems, office-to-gaming upgrades, or compact builds where efficiency and cost balance matter more than ultra-high settings. Overall, a dependable option for users targeting smooth 1080p performance without stepping into higher price tiers.

I upgraded my old card and this was simple plug and play. The upgrade is SO worth it - enhanced memory, speed, all of it. I do hear the fans power up during my intense games, but most of the time it's very quiet.

I’m not a crazy enthusiast but I do know enough to give a real world run down on this product. Pros: Solid 1080p performance and very compact with easy installation. It’s just the pcie slot and that’s it, it’ll do everything else on its own. Triple A titles run good enough for someone who isn’t trying to overclock or do any sort of tweaking. Cons: Price to performance, you can definitely get better especially in the used market(although I recommend a testing rig before purchase). It’s not ideal to get this if you plan to upgrade later on. I think the card works and functions great, it’s just not ideal for the price. I bought this because I was going for a cheap, all new 1080p build for my wife and this was the cheapest 3050 at the time so I went with it. I painted it white and it looked great put together but it’s not ideal for those who want the best bang for their buck.

Is great entry level and it runs great plays all games budget NVIDIA card

So, you bought yourself a Dell Optiplex MT PC, any you have a 260 or 290W Power Supply with no GPU power plug available. Your options are a new AMD RX 6400 with 4GB or several older GPUs. Worse, you have your heart set on playing Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered! Now, you COULD do that with the RX 6400, but, let me tell you, it's a painful experience. Enter the NVidia RTX 3050 6GB. The blackist of the black sheep in the NVidia line-up, the RTX 3050 is the best GPU you can put inside that Minitower case without some sort of Frankenstein Power Supply modification. While overall, it's performance is slightly better than the RX 6400, in terms of ESOR, it's phenominal. It does this for slightly more money (I bought mine on sale/MSRP), with less noise than the RX 6400. It fits inside the case without any adjustment or modification. In addition, the 6GB capacity of the GPU means that ESOR when it boots isn't going to nag you telling you the minimum required memory for the game is 6GB! Overall, I am extremely pleased with the purchase. For the money, for my gaming needs and desires, this GPU allows me to slide into a slightly better performance bracket without a major outlay of funds for not only a GPU but a new power supply. So, again, if you have a Optiplex MT and want the best GPU you can buy without buying a new power supply along with it, this is the GPU to buy.

Very fast frames, extremely good quality for the price, it is quiet, looks aesthetically pleasing, warms up a little bit but the two fans keep it cool, no extra psu cable needed, may need a larger gpu bracket though, mine didnt fit, but gpu sag isnt major. very compatible with multiple displays, and keels up with everyday bumps and whatnot

bought to support my new HDR1000 monitor, not intended for gaming.

works amazing thank you

Just a little info, the card isn't amazing if you look at online reviews. But from going from no ray tracing to at least something a bit better with Ray tracing. Huge difference when I play Arc Raiders. I'm more than happy with it.

Muy buena tarjeta, llevo con ella varios mese y no me ha dado problemas, le descargue los drivers de la pagina de asus. Corre muy bien los juegos en alta calidad sin trabarse ni nada. 100% recomendado.

I am getting good performance on gaming
