Nothing connects directly to the RTX 3050. Don't buy this bad laptop. Simple game from 2020 says graphics card is too weak to run it because it doesn't detect the RTX 3050, Everything goes through the integrated intel card, sometimes RTX 3050 gets activated when needed, but if it's needed it's not decided by the user. You can edit some configuration in Windows to try to use RTX 3050 on program you want, but it still goes through the integrated intel card first. Connecting it to extra monitor with HDMI causes problems, because you can't set it to connect directly to RTX 3050, so for external monitor only intel drivers are used and limited settings. There are problems with resolution settings, for the same reason. There is no mux switch on this laptop, you can't bypass the integrated intel card, Terrible product from expensive components. They made it from components to make it look good in the products specifications, but it's a bad product, never uses the components to it's potential because it overheats too fast.
