Good price on a low profile card that will transform your budget refurb machine into a semi decent gaming PC. Stack with the discounted gift cards you may or may not have just purchased.
CamelCamelCamel.
low profile?
There are two 4060 low profile models, but they're $450+ and will require a PCI-E Power connector and have a TDP of 115w, where the 3050 is slot powered and asks for 70w at most and thus has lower PSU requirements..
For brand new, slot powered, low profile GPU, this is quite a decent deal.
Agree!
Unfortunately it's really hard to slap all of what you listed into a refurb sff PC. So different use cases and all that. I don't think there would be a better value low profile GPU that would beat this one atm. There is a low profile 4060 for instance, but that would cost way more and it would have a separate power connector.
I think we need to look past the 3050=bad and appreciate the card for what it is among its peers, which is the arc a380 and the Rx 6400. In this way, it's a good card
Yep, it sure will. But it won't run in my HP elite desk g3 sff with its 250w power supply. So what good is it to me and anyone else try to convert their $80-150 PC into a gaming machine with a outlay of only $330-400
@Dan24: Remember there are two 3050's, you are referring to the 6gb 70w one.
We wouldn't want someone stumbling across your posts saying that 3050 isn't bad, when the "main" 3050 8GB 130w is 100% terrible and costs more than a 6600.
Nice low profile card with low PSU requirements.
Looks like 30% improvement over my ASUS GTX1650 4GB OC PCIe Low Profile. Does anybody know if this will run stalker 2??

Imma wait till they patch it or mods fix it a bit more myself.
Two types odd people in this thread:
This card sux
What excorp LP box could I buy to put this in?
Spend a bit more for 6600, 3060, 4060. All reviews stated 3050 is one of the worst GPU for the money.
