GigabyteNVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 WINDFORCE OC V2 Graphics Card - 12GB GDDR6, 192-bit, PCI-E 4.0, 1792MHz Core Clock, 2x DP 1.4, 2 x HDMI 2.1, NVIDIA Ampere - GV-N3060WF2OC-12GD

Got this in the black Friday sale I had been looking at getting one for a while yes I know it gets a bad rap but it works great in my low profile case. Really quiet and so power efficient if it had of been a single slot card it would have been damn near perfect. There really isn't any competition for this card in its price range and when you get one with 25% off like I did then its even better.

Really smooth for the price, can play lots of different games on medium and high graphics. Speed is very good, all in all I'm rather happy with it. Installation was really simple fans on the graphics are really silent and performance is rather good

Greatly priced. Been using this in my pc for over a year now and even running modern games that released this year on the highest setting i still get a solid 60fps, some games like ff14 hitting a solid 180fps

works perfectly, major upgrade from my 3050, only criticism is it not coming with any additional bracket sizes, very lucky i just happened to have the right size case.

I didn't want to go to the extra expense (eg. £50) of replacing the stock Dell 275W PSU in a 2013 Dell Optiplex Mini Tower case and I didn't need a faster GPU such as RX6600/RTX3060, so I bought this 6GB RTX 3050 from Amazon.Only minor issue I had was I couldn't close the latch. I used a hack saw and carefully cut a notch out of one corner of the latching tab.I didn't find the two fans to be particularly loud when they needed to spin up.Reviewers criticise this 6GB RTX 3050 for being around 20% slower than the regular 8GB RTX 3050, but the 6GB card is unique because it is powered directly from the PCIe bus, and draws no more than 75 watts. There is no 6/8 pin power connector on the card.If you are specifically considering pcie bus powered gfx cards such as the 2022 AMD RX6400, 2023 Intel Arc 310/380, and older non-overclocked GTX1650 and GTX1050 Ti cards, then you will find the 2024 RTX 3050 6GB is faster than any of these gpus.At the time I bought this full-height RTX 3050 6GB for discounted 140 quid, it was not much more than a new RX6400. The cost of a new PSU and 30+% faster RX6600 would probably have cost around 250 quid.

Going from a 1650 to this is great frame rates in cyberpunk went through up to 60 without rt 30 with at 1080p

Great for the price upgraded from a Gtx 1660 handles games great

performs well and good value for money
