    First GPU I've bought other than the gt 730 that came with my computer. Huge upgrade from what I had. This card gets a lot of hate online but it's not as bad as made out to be. It is handling hell blade 2 on 1080 at highest settings with no problems. Averaging around 60 FPS on most games I've tried. If your a FPS snob maybe not the best option but if you just want to play and are not worried so much about having the best it does the job. Always makes video editing render times much faster than using just the CPU. Im

    Gets the job done. I upgraded from a GTX 970. Its only an 8GB card so it's not going to do 4K or even massive amounts of frames but as a real-world example. SCUM I went from jerky frame rates, no higher than 45 with a 4GB GTX 970 to 90FPS with no jerky textures with improved settings.

    This gpu is good for people who are not demanding too much from their computer. I can play destiny 2 at full graphics with a bad cpu and run 150 fps to give an idea. Though I wish there was another display port :(

    The RTX 3050 8GB is a good lower midrange card, but make sure you get the 8GB version. The 6GB is not even the same chip, even thought they share a name and has worse performance. If you catch it on sale it's a good buy, but there are better choices if its not. RX 6600 is a fair bit faster for usually less.

    This card obviously isnt the highest end card but its not as bad as people make it out to be, you can play almost any game at mid settings for 60+ fps. Definitely worth if you cant afford anything else and dont want a used card

    It's not one of the best cards, but it works very well for games and heavy work. I've been using it to make designs in AutoCAD and it works very well for me.
