Good budget card for desperate times2/17/2022 7:31:14 PM
Pros: Looks good in case
Good temps
Relatively low power draw
Has cool features like DLSS in many games
Can do "ray tracing"
Cons: Not really powerful enough for ray tracing
Don't expect much value from the built-in "overclock" since it's like a 5 to 8% boost
The automatic driver download exe from the manual's URL didn't work at all
Aurus Engine is bad. Use MSI Afterburner instead
Overall Review: I wish I had bought the RX 6600, but this card is good enough and was actually in stock. You barely get any extra value over the reference version.
Pros: Amazing performance! Because of the GPU shortage I couldnt get my hand on an RTX 3070 so one of my family members lended me a GTX 460. I hated that graphics card, it ran at 90C I had to have everything cranked down to ultra low settings at 720p and only get 30fps. But since I purchased this graphics card I have had so much love gaming! I played games like halo infinite on max settings at 1080p and got 100 fps in small campaign maps and 60 fps in big campaign maps and the campaign. Apex legends on max settings 1080p and I got 144fps. Titanfall 2 max settings 180fps. And many other games have run perfect! Now for any of you guys wanting to play PC VR this graphics card can do just that! Games like Onward (1.7 version) I can run at max settings and get 72fps with resolution at 120% on an oculus quest 2. Onward (1.8) I can run at max settings 150% resolution I get 90fps. Also games like Boneworks at medium settings 100% resolution I get 90fps. Half life alyx max settings 120% I get 90fps. Also for you guys that want to do productive apps such as Blender I would like to let you know this gpu is also perfect for that! My CPU is an amd ryzen 5600x overclocked to 4.6 ghz and one blender project I made took 15 minutes to render in cycles on cpu compute. But with this graphics card it finished on cycles with gpu compute with a time of 20 seconds. More things I love about this card is that it is whisper quiet. At 100% load you cant even hear the fans and it reaches 70C max. But when this graphics card is on low load its fans dont even spin to reduce noise. Very good looking as well!!!
Cons: Absolutely none!
Overall Review: Absolutely worth it! Gaming, VR, and rendering beast!

RTX 3050 Graphics card3/16/2022 3:59:01 PM
Pros: Picture came out perfectly, and it was easy to install.
Cons: none.
Overall Review: -Would definatly recomand to anyone, it can run the new halo, and even the new 2020 flight sim.
Pros: This replaced a 1050ti in my system. I bought this card for two reasons. First was to upgrade my experience with Flight Simulator 2020. The 1050ti was straining after recent FS 2020 upgrades. With the RTX3050 I was able to set the graphics to Ultra. The difference in detail and smooth play is dramatic. The second reason was to improve Iray rendering in Daz3D. There's been a huge improvement in rendering time. Another feature I like on this card are two HDMI ports. Most other cards in this series only have one. That saved me from having to purchase a Display Port to HDMI cable. Temperatures are reasonable and no noise from the triple fans.
Cons: Card is big. Make sure you have plenty of room in your case. The card presses against some cables but so far no problem. An oddity is this card uses the same drivers as the 1050ti. However, my second monitor wasn't recognized. I was afraid one of the HDMI ports was defective. On a hunch I reinstalled the exact same drivers. The second monitor sprang back to life. It's just one of those tech moments where you don't try figuring out why but just be happy everything works again.
Overall Review: So far so good. Definitely recommended.
