Review: Does what’s advertised but am I astounded? No. - Do not listen to these people claiming this card can match the popular and cheap RX 580, because it can’t. The 580 is faster without the Ray-Tracing, which in my opinion, is worthless. I could care less about Ray-Tracing. What a waste of energy and huge amount of money. Well designed games don’t need it. Anyway the RX 3050 does exactly what the advertisers say it will as long as you set the settings to 1080p. They make it clear this is not a 4K video card. It will work in 4K but not in the newest AAA games. For me it got very good video scores in 1080p. If you want 4K then save your money as this is not your card. But if you are using an old Dell with one of Dells famous low powered power supplies and you want some sort of gaming experience, then this card is for you. Pros: Very low power demands Pretty and sharp visuals. Very easy to install. Just slide in the slot and you’re ready. Good gaming as long as you have mature and reasonable expectations. If you like old games then this card is for you as this will play all old games, such as Skyrim, all Quake games including Quake 2 RXT, all Diablo games including Diablo 4 if you set the visuals to 1080p, most Doom games if you set the card to 1080p. Any game made 2016 or before, runs great in games best visuals, have reasonable expectations. Outstanding Nvidia drivers. Cons: you’re fooling yourself if you think your going to Ray-Trace with this card on a new high demanding triple A game. Recommend worth five stars Review: Good every Day GPU - Clean simple install, plug and play, buss powered, quiet fan, no issues, this GPU relieved presure from Processor and Ram, and bypasses Integrated graphics chip, on an older off the shelf pre built computer, Asus MD11-AD i7 4790, and 16gb DDR3 ram...its overkill for simple everyday non gamer, personal office use, but super smooth for youtube, and Teams meetings. ## Features - NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors: The all-new Ampere SM brings 2X the FP32 throughput and improved power efficiency. - 2nd Generation RT Cores: Experience 2X the throughput of 1st gen RT Cores, plus concurrent RT and shading for a whole new level of ray-tracing performance. - 3rd Generation Tensor Cores: Get up to 2X the throughput with structural sparsity and advanced AI algorithms such as DLSS.

Recommend worth five stars ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good every Day GPU *by P***B on August 1, 2026* Clean simple install, plug and play, buss powered, quiet fan, no issues, this GPU relieved presure from Processor and Ram, and bypasses Integrated graphics chip, on an older off the shelf pre built computer, Asus MD11-AD i7 4790, and 16gb DDR3 ram...its overkill for simple everyday non gamer, personal office use, but super smooth for youtube, and Teams meetings. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great GPU Upgrade for Some but Not All *by T***O on July 29, 2026* So far, so good! TLDR; Affordable, well packaged, easy install, solid upgrade for pre-built integrated graphics computers with smaller power supplies, and/or cases with size constraints, will help provide more available RAM for CPU/system tasks. Disclaimer: I am not a gamer, my main use case is 3D modeling/business/productivity, the computer that was upgraded is an HP ENVY TE-01 3254 with an Intel i7-127000 12th gen, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD The HP ENVY has some real limitations in upgrading the GPU due to the small stock power supply (310W) and size constraints of the case. I considered upgrading the power supply and getting a higher powered GPU, but for my needs it wasn't absolutely necessary. So, I opted for the RTX 3050 6GB based on price, and ease of installation with no external power needed as it receives all power needed from the PCIe slot itself. The apps that I'm using most are Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD, sometimes Sketchup, and the Adobe Suite, mostly Acrobat Pro, Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. In general these apps use a lot of system memory, but have also benefited from the updated GPU. I've used Revit with various computers over the years, and it performed decently with the built-in graphics card, but the RTX 3050 (or any dedicated GPU) is definitely snappier and everything looks more crisp. I'm not doing a lot of rendering, if you're using a dedicated rendering engine for Revit or Sketchup, the more VRAM you have, the better. One definite benefit after adding the RTX 3050 is the availability of system RAM. In Task Manager, I was always seeing 85% or more of Memory Usage with multiple apps open. With the RTX 3050 that has dropped down to around 50-60% which is great for the overall stability of the system while providing more available memory for the CPU. The GPU is operating around 35-40 degrees Celsius and I don't notice the fans unless I put my ear right by the CPU tower. I know the 3050 is a much maligned GPU by many in the gamer and tech community and there are generally much better options for that user base, but I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. A few tips for those with minimal experience in upgrading their computers: set a system restore point before the install, be sure to remove all of the peels from the GPU prior to install, it has a lot of them and was packaged exceptionally well; the computer should recognize the GPU after restart, sometimes you might need to unplug an plug the monitor cable into the new GPU, it will usually disable onboard graphics if applicable; then you can install the NVIDIA app and GPU Tweak 3 to customize your settings. ## Frequently Bought Together - ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card - PCIe 4.0, 6GB GDDR6 Memory, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, 2-Slot Design, Axial-tech Fan Design, 0dB Technology, Steel Bracket - AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler - CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16-20-20-38 1.35V Intel AMD Desktop Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/608939193-asus-dual-geforce-rtx-3050-6gb-gddr6-oc-edition-gaming](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/608939193-asus-dual-geforce-rtx-3050-6gb-gddr6-oc-edition-gaming) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
