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.

Thank you for the review as always! Basically, for the $$ you are better off getting an AMD 6600. At this price segment, you're concerned with Raster performance and that's about it. You're not getting this card for its Ray Tracing prowess.

Nice review. This is a thick card for a 3050 by the looks of it. I had a Gigabyte Gaming OC 3050 that did surprisingly well at 1440P with settings turned to max on most games I played.

Yeah, there were some great BF deals on the 6600, and more than a few sites noted it as the best for 1080p for the price.
