The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 is billed as the company’s most affordable entry-level GPU yet and is targeted at gamers still rocking GTX 1650 or GTX 1650 Ti graphics cards.
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 Eagle 8GB, unlike its more expensive Aorus siblings, is a no-frills card that does not even come with its own RGB lighting. It really does not pretend to be anything else more than a functional graphics card – it’s not even factory overclocked – and that’s actually a good thing for this review, as the card will give us a more accurate assessment of the RTX 3050’s base-level performance.
That said, it does sports the same technologies featured in the other RTX 30-series GPUs such as RTX IO, and NVIDIA Reflex.
