This PC has the 6GB version of the NVIDIA RTX 3050 graphics card. It is suitable for games that play at 1080p. On Userbenchmark it gets a 32% score for the graphics card (on my individual test). By comparison the NVIDIA RTX 5070 gets a 100% score according to the website. I play Diablo 4 with no issues and it runs perfectly smooth on my QHD (2K) LG curved monitor connected via Displayport.

I found that for the price (discounted) it's well worth it to purchase and then upgrade to something like the NVIDIA RTX 4060 down the road. I have the ASUS version of this card (for SFF) saved in my BB account for Christmas time.

Additionally, the CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 8700G) performs above expected in Userbenchmark personal test. It's a well rounded and fast CPU, and works well with the graphics card.

Some games require 8GB of video ram. If you currently play one of those games, you may want to spend the extra $$$ to get a desktop with more deddicated video ram. For my games, 6GB is enough for now. (The new DOOM game requires 8GB and plan to upgrade around Xmas time.)

I hope this helps.

The first person to answer must have anger issues. I understand not always knowing where to find info in the app. It gets easier the more you use it, though. ;-)

So...it seems that this desktop model - Model: M02-0244 - has 6GB of GDDR6 memory. You can find most of the specs for the tech that Best Buy sells if you open the "Specs" section below the images of the products. I hope that helped.

You must be new to gaming on a PC. Otherwise, you would know that the term "gaming" encompasses a vast range of computer games, everything from Solitaire to AAA games. So you have to be more specific as to what games you are interested in.

As to the second question: your answer can be found here: Specifications-->Graphics-->GPU Video Memory (RAM)-->

Try putting some effort into your life.
