    Great graphics card, in my opinion way better than its AMD counterpart. Well worth the $200 as well. Games like Valorant, Fortnite, Overwatch 2 and Phasmophobia run flawlessly on high graphics!

    Threw it in a optiplex and it’s great for what it is, typically held back by the older i7 cpu. The gpu is able to deliver great 1080 graphics and fit around 200 fps on Fortnite or more with a better cpu. Seige was spiking in the 500 fps range, it did very well with the more gpu demanding vs cpu demanding, games. There is better gpu out there but for the price and only needing 16 pin, this is likely the best gpu you can find. Perfect for budget builds but getting a gpu that will last and withstand all future upgrades.

    As someone who recently upgraded to the MSI NVIDIA RTX 3050 GAMING X 6G, I'm really happy with its performance for gaming. Games run smoothly on high settings, and I’m impressed by how quiet it stays thanks to MSI’s cooling system. The RGB lighting adds a nice flair to my setup too. For my needs, it’s a fantastic card, especially at this price point. Plus, it feel like a solid, future-proof choice. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly option!

    The MSI NVIDIA RTX 3050 GAMING X 6G is a hidden gem for anyone seeking a powerful, efficient, and quiet graphics card. Its standout feature is its ability to run entirely off the PCI Express slot without needing an additional 6-pin power connector. This makes it an excellent choice for minimal builds or systems with power supply constraints. When it comes to performance, I was thoroughly impressed. Despite its modest power draw, this card delivers solid 1080p performance across a wide range of games. Whether you’re tackling the latest AAA titles or enjoying competitive esports games, the RTX 3050 handles it all with ease. The GDDR6 memory and PCIe 4.0 compatibility ensure smooth and consistent performance, and the card runs whisper-quiet even under heavy gaming loads. What really sets this card apart is its versatility. It’s not just a gaming powerhouse—it also excels in AI and machine learning tasks. CUDA, cuDNN, and PyTorch workflows run efficiently, making it a fantastic option for developers or hobbyists working in AI/ML. Its power efficiency combined with great computational capabilities makes it a well-rounded choice. The MSI GAMING X design also adds a premium touch, with excellent build quality and cooling performance. It's sleek, understated, and perfect for any build. Overall, the RTX 3050 GAMING X 6G is an incredible choice for gamers and developers alike. Its blend of efficiency, performance, and quiet operation makes it a standout option in its class. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a compact yet capable system!

    The factory graphics chip in my desktop PC really struggled with most games. Upgrading to the RTX 3050 was a breeze, and it's an incredible value for the price.

    Since the CPU did not support graphics, I needed a separate graphics card. I am not a serious gamer, but I feel all display related processing are much faster than they used to be.

    Excellent graphics card, I primarily use this for video transcoding with Plex and Tdarr but the gaming done on it is very satisfactory for 1080p.
