PNY GeForce RTX 3050 8G VERTO Dual Fan Video Card Test Setup Table

We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest official release BIOS.  We have enabled PCI-Express Resizable BAR in the motherboard BIOS.  This means we are utilizing Resizable BAR on NVIDIA GPUs and AMD Smart Access Memory on AMD GPUs in all of our testing.  We have enabled DOCP in the BIOS for the memory.

We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates, and drivers installed including the latest chipset drivers from AMD.  We are using the “Best Performance” power profile in Windows Settings.  We have Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling at the default setting, which is ENABLED.  VBS is DISABLED and Game Mode is ENABLED.

SUMMARY

We evaluated the PNY GeForce RTX 3050 8G VERTO Dual Fan video card. This card is an average performer that does overclock well and stays cool and quiet. Unfortunately, it just blends in with the competition in both price and performance.
