  • Positivelow peak loads
  • NegativeNearly slowest card

As the only card in the test, Zotac's Twin Edge is not overclocked, but still easily exceeds the standard boost clock for RTX-3050s specified by Nvidia by 158 MHz (+9 per cent). In terms of thickness, it only needs two slots. With a height of 11.4 centimetres, it is also the flattest and, at 23.7 centimetres long, the shortest card in the test field - space problems should therefore remain a foreign...

Those who play games in Full HD or WQHD resolution are really well served with the Zotac RTX 3050, and the investment is just about manageable at 400 euros today. But if you want to play games like "Stalker 2" in fine detail in 4K, you have to go for a more powerful RTX 3070 model. However, these are really expensive: graphics cards with this chip currently cost at least 830 euros.

  • NegativeNot suitable for higher resolutions (without DLSS)

In the test, the Zotac GeForce RTX 3050 Twin Edge 8GB GDDR6 offers reasonable Full HD performance at a reasonable price - but with two limitations. The first is the still large difference between the RRP (280 euros) and the significantly higher street price. The second limitation concerns performance: The RTX 3050 struggles with the magic 60-fps limit in many tests at Full HD resolution...

  • Negative279 euros RRP is a lot for an entry-level card

The Zotac GeForce RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC is a true 1080p gaming graphics card with which Nvidia has done everything right that AMD did wrong with the RX 6500 XT. At the same time, it is also a symbol of how expensive PC gaming has become in recent years, especially when we compare the new card with the RTX 2060...
