msiGaming RTX 3050 Gaming X 6G Graphics Card (NVIDIA RTX 3050, 96-Bit, Boost Clock: 1507 MHz, 6GB GDDR6 14 Gbps, HDMI/DP, Ampere Architecture)

I am not a techy geek or game player. I can't give you benchmark performance specs. I do create youtube videos, however, and I do enjoy watching any content in high resolution. I bought this graphics card as an update to an old PC that I am still using and have been extremely pleased with the output and performance of this graphics card. I am sure there are better and more expensive options but this one offered me the level of performance I was looking for in this price range.

I replaced a 2060 with this. The only problem I had was trying to find where I plug in the power from the power supply. It turns out there is no 'power supply' socket, it gets it's power from the mobo, works good.

If you can afford it, you should probably go with the 3060, but this guy is definitely a bargain buy.It handles ray tracing and supports early DLSS versions which makes games look great while still running smoothly.GPUs in general are easy to install so anyone with a desktop can just pop this guy in there and get an upgrade over an older GPU.I went from a 1660 to this and without DLSS, its actually pretty comparable on most games, but with DLSS, it's a definitive improvement.... also ray tracing (Minecraft can look real now haha).This won't be pushing 100+ frames on most games, but you can get at least 60 on plenty of AAA titles on high quality for sure (again, the title having DLSS support helps a lot!)

This card replaced a GTX970, so the drivers were the same. It doesn’t need pci-e power cables. I just plugged it in and it worked. Been running for 5 days straight. No problems.

Great starter graphics card. Am able to play Madden 25 with very few lagging issues in game play. Love that the cards power supply comes directly from the motherboard and does not need to have its own supply connected to the PCU. Highly recommend

I bought this card to upgrade from old GT1030 and extend life of my old PC. I don't need the highest FPS or graphics details. I just wanted the newer games to be playable for my son and be able to use 4k. It worked out very well.

I wanted to get a decent GPU for my new tower. I didn’t want to have to upgrade the power supply. It only came with 300W and this is the best card I could find under $200 that only draws 70W with no power cable needed. The manufacturer website even says 300W PSU is Ok, you can play Roblox at max settings with absolutely no lag, performs as well as my Xbox series X for this game, my son is very happy.

The media could not be loaded. I doesn't fit inside my optiplex 5050 sff the way it's supposed to but it does work, I put it into the 4gb slot, technically you can do that but you don't get the full power of the card by doing so, that being said it DEFINITELY does the job it's made to do and does it VERY well,(I can only imagine how good it works in a big rig where it more than likely belongs 🤔🙂) as far as Aesthetics, it actually reminded me of a VCR tape when I opened it up at first glance 🤣 ( I'm a 90s kid so this was the first time I truly felt old 😂+😭) as far as noise it for the most part doesn't make any noise ( or at least I haven't had to push it hard enough for it to do so), I use a 360w power supply and it takes between 65-90w power consumption and I haven't had any issues out of it so all things considered it's doing me fine service and for a more than decent price...👍👍👌
