Everything is great! Have it hooked up to my mini pc via eGPU dock. Yay!!!!!!

DLSS 4.5 is amazing combined with this card. I had a specific use case and it has met my needs well. Repurposed aging hardware and I wanted a little cloud gaming machine to store all my games and to stream to my steam deck OLED to minimize heat, fan noise, and better battery life and storage options. I purchased the rtx 5050 for a great price and streaming at 1080p/800p HDR high settings looks amazing on the deck. Native gaming is impressive too if you know going in that you will be leaning on software to improve the experience. Upscaling tech has come a long way and feels great if utilized properly. If you can get a 5050 under 250 it's worth it in my opinion. Things to know. Card designed/runs x8 speed max for weird reason. Check the specs! I don't think it's a real world difference compared to standard x16 speed. I didn't purchase for bleeding edge as I had a goal in mind and if you are someone wanting the best you wouldn't be looking at a 5050. FWIW.

Not everyone is looking for the highest settings and this graphics card is just right for low mbudget building especially thanks to the dlss 4 tech

For being an entry level gpu I was genuinely impressed with the performance of this card. With frame gen most games are playable with a high refresh rate!
