Pros: 1: The card runs rather cool under load (55-65c) and acoustics is really nice, way quieter than my old Sapphire rx 570 4gb. 2: Runs games really well with minimal dips/ stutters and keeps a stable FPS. (Around 90-130fps in destiny 2 with a Ryzen 5 5500 and 16gb of ram) 3: Card looks great overall. With the theme of my PC, it pairs really well the color scheme and looks great with the motherboard (b450 tomahawk MSI) 4: When using the built in screen recorder with Nvidia GeForce experience, games have had little to no FPS dips at all with using it and footage is a stable 60FPS with rather good quality
Cons: 1: The card is made with a rather lighter plastic, so be careful when handling it. 2: The price was very meh when I first bought it. I paid $350 for the 3050 and the MSRP is $249 and it sucks to be paying over MSRP when your current GPU needs a dire upgrade.
Overall Review: This gigabyte RTX 3050 is honestly a great buy for 1080p gaming. It runs most games really well with stable, high frame rates while keeping cool at the same time, and being able to record videos with the card with little to no impact on performance is a big plus for people who are starting out with YouTube or steaming in general. Overall: if youre looking to get into PC gaming and dont wanna spend too much money but want an Nvidia GPU, this card is honestly a good buy.
