Works great for what i paid for it, used it in a dell optiplex 790 as a graphics card to a budget gaming computer. Overclocks a decent amount and I got 60 fps on various games in Dolphin emulator including Mario kart while at 720p with 8x SSAA and 16x anisotropic filtering (doesn't seem to work well with 1080p). On 1080p with Minecraft I am able to get 106fps(avg) with the standard render distance and fancy graphics, and get 70fps(avg) with maximum render distance and fancy graphics. Overall its surprised me with how well it works and is a couple steps up from the integrated intel graphics that i was using before.
When overclocked i was able to achieve 7.5% on the benchmark (can view in my saved benchmarks) which is higher than your average GT 730, GT 710, and GT 720, which are all more expensive. So if you are on a budget for a low profile graphics card perhaps consider this one. [Jul '19typingweb10]
The RTX 3050 is built on NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture. It marks the first time that ray-tracing has been available on an entry level (50-series) card. Second generation ray tracing cores can be switched on for more realistic light simulation, albeit at a hit to performance. The 3050 features 2560 CUDA cores, a boost clock frequency of 1.78 GHz, 8 GB of the latest GDDR6 memory and NVIDIA’s DLSS. DLSS technology uses the 3050’s tensor cores to scale up resolutions whilst maintaining high frame rates and without losing significant image quality. The 3050 also includes an encoder (NVENC) for sharper images and smoother capture whilst recording/streaming. The MRSP of entry models is $249 USD, however, street prices are closer to $600 USD. Early benchmarks show that the 3050 only headlines around 50% faster than AMD's 6500 XT whilst street prices for the 3050 are over 100% higher. Many experienced users simply have no interest in buying AMD cards, regardless of price. AMD’s neanderthal marketing tactics seem to have come back to haunt them. Their brazen domination of social media platforms including youtube and reddit resulted in millions of users purchasing sub standard products. Experienced gamers know all too well that high average fps are worthless when they are accompanied with stutters, random crashes, excessive noise and a limited feature set. [Jan '22GPUPro]
