Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Review: Quiet Release, Dodgy Name
The GeForce RTX 3050 6GB is an interesting new release from Nvidia targeting the sub-$200 market. Now, the interesting part is not so much for its performance as it is for other angles.

Nvidia's GeForce Now has changed a lot in the year since we asked the question: which is better, a new graphics card or a subscription to GeForce Now's Ultimate tier?
The Dell Alienware AW3225QF uses one of the latest 32-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED panels, which brings with it 0.03ms response times, per pixel local dimming, true HDR, and adaptive sync support.
The hotly anticipated MSI MPG 321URX is finally available. This is the company's take on a 32-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor, using new third-gen QD-OLED panels from Samsung.
This is not the first time we're testing AMD's Radeon RX 7900 GRE (Golden Rabbit). That actually happened 6 months ago, but this is the first time you can actually buy it, and at a much lower price.
We compare the three X3D chips available on the AM4 platform: the Ryzen 5 5600X3D, Ryzen 7 5700X3D, and Ryzen 7 5800X3D to see which model offers the best value to PC gamers.
The Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM is one of the highly anticipated gaming displays to launch in 2024, sporting a larger 32-inch 4K panel at 240Hz, plus the per-pixel local dimming functionality of OLED.
In testing the Ryzen 7 5700, we feel we've stumbled upon a product that is borderline scammy, or is at best anti-consumer. But maybe we're overreacting, so let's take a look and see what you think.
Having reviewed the Nvidia RTX 4090 Laptop GPU and taken a comprehensive look at how it fares in the laptop market, let's see how it compares against the similarly-named but much more powerful RTX 4090 desktop part.
Here's a confession: I've never liked the idea of a standing desk. However, if there's one desk that could convince me to get off my butt, the Secretlab Magnus Pro could very well be it.
The AOC 24G4 is a solid entry-level 1080p gaming monitor that improves upon its popular predecessor in notable areas. It's also slightly faster and slightly cheaper at just $150 in some markets.
AMD's Ryzen 7 5700X3D, while technically new, is not really so. What we have here is binned silicon that couldn't be sold as a 5800X3D, but instead of throwing it away, it's been cut down and offered for just $250.
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 features a 49-inch 5120 x 1440 resolution panel, the equivalent of two 27-inch 2560 x 1440 monitors stitched together into a big super-ultrawide with a 32:9 aspect ratio.
One would assume that Nvidia's "new" GeForce RTX 4080 Super is a special version of the original. But in reality, it's essentially the RTX 4080 with a much-needed price cut. Is that enough?
The Ryzen 7 8700G is a Zen 4, Ryzen 7000-class processor that also includes a Radeon 700M GPU on the same chip. AMD says the iGPU will be powerful enough to play pretty much any PC game at 1080p.
AMD's new Radeon RX 7600 XT is basically an RX 7600 with a 16 GB VRAM buffer, but is that worth paying a premium for? Measuring the benefits of extra VRAM can be complex as we'll explore in this review.
The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is super bizarrely named, but the specs look seriously great. We're talking 16GB of VRAM using AD103 silicon, indicating strong performance potential. But does it deliver?
Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the first refreshed 'Super' GPU to be released. Based on specs, it should be ~20% faster than the 4070, at the same price, which sounds like a solid deal.
Usually we recommend PC gamers on a budget to adopt the min/max strategy. This means spending as little as possible on almost everything, except the GPU, where most of the budget should be allocated.
The Radeon 6500 XT was a weak product at launch. We predicted it'd become nearly unusable in the near future even at lowest settings. Some 18 months after release, how is it performing in today's games?
An updated look at current-gen GPU flagships, the battle between the Radeon 7900 XTX and GeForce RTX 4090. Of course, the GeForce is faster, but also costs twice as much, so is the premium worth it?
It's time to take an updated look at the gaming performance of the Core i9-14900K and Ryzen 7 7800X3D, comparing head-to-head AMD and Intel's best gaming processors to see which one you should buy.
It's time we take a fresh look at DDR4 vs DDR5 memory performance using the Core i9-14900K. We're benchmarking with fast DDR5-7200 and DDR4-4000 memory, noting that these days DDR5 is cheaper than DDR4.
