Review: MSI RTX 3050 Gaming X 8G

Slightly delayed due to shipment issues, we analyze the gaming X 8G model GeForce RTX 3050 from MSI. The card performs well in its intended Full HD resolution, brings raytracing and DLSS to the table, and all that in MIS renowned Twinfrozr cooling design. And you know that means sheer silence.

We were supposed to get cards like the 970 at 300$ that matched a 780ti at 600 just 2 yrs later or something.
Instead we get cards that match something released 4.6 yrs ago at the same damn price, which was ALREADY high back then, and people instead of tearing these corporate entities down are lapping it all up and even finding the corpos all sorts of attenuating circumstances as if they are the business of their dad.
Has to stop. Large corporations and consumers are typically engaged in an adversarial relation, ones seeking increased profits, other lower prices.
Consumers must fight for THEIR interests first and above all else. It's insanely low IQ not to.
no, apparently history of GPU performance doesn't matter anymore, its all about now, what performance and the $100's needed for it, the fact you could get a card a few years ago at the same price with similar or better performance is irrelevant.
All about the $$$

If my 1080Ti dies, ill proudly join the PS5 community just to stick it to the PC GPU manufacturers.

AMD admitted to keep prices high for profit. I guess Intel and NVIDIA do the same. Keep in mind CEOs said prices stay high until the end of 2023. They didn't say why ....

so now the xx50 series is price of what xx60 series use to be... seem to be little slow then my 1070ti but lot more power friendly.

Im sorry though the prices are just stupid, only thing interesting here is less power consumption,

Love the review.

Positive thought? Maybe include a single 10xx 20xx series card for comparison?

I know quite a few of us are still running the old series due to justification and availiblity?

Just a thought.....

Happy to see GTX 1080 performance at 66% of the power draw! If they can get that same performance without the need for PCIe power connector (75w or less), it will be good times.

Forive me, where do you see the GTX 1080 performance?

The 1080 is signifcantly faster than the 3050 no?
