Good price, good product
It's small but powerful compared to the price, installation is easy because it's slot powered so there are no pcie cable slots. It was an easy decision to get this and it's running monster hunter wilds at 50fps easy!

Future Proof graphics card
The RTX 3050 is a solid entry-level graphics card for anyone gaming at 1080p or building a budget-friendly PC. It handles most modern games smoothly on medium to high settings, and with DLSS enabled, performance improves significantly without sacrificing visual quality. One of the biggest strengths of the RTX 3050 is access to NVIDIA features like DLSS, ray tracing, and NVENC, which makes it a great option not only for gaming but also for streaming and content creation. It runs cooler and uses less power than higher-end RTX cards, so it’s a good match for systems with smaller power supplies or compact cases. That said, it’s not designed for 1440p or 4K gaming, and ray tracing performance is limited unless DLSS is turned on. For the price, though, it offers dependable performance, modern features, and good efficiency.
