This technology synchronizes the computer's screen refresh rate with the game's frame rate, eliminating tearing, stuttering, and other issues related to unsynchronized graphics performance.
To use G-Sync, a compatible monitor that supports the technology is required.
The Nvidia Resizable BAR is an advanced PCI Express feature that allows the CPU to access the entire control frame of the GPU simultaneously, improving performance in many games.
The cooling system consists of two large 90mm fans that increase airflow by 10% compared to the previous generation, a large heatsink with multiple fins and copper heatpipes, and a metal wraparound backplate that enhances the rigidity of the graphics card and helps with cooling. The fans (each fan has 11 fins) are specially designed to provide optimal airflow so that the graphics card always operates at maximum performance.
The brand new 11-blade fan increases airflow by up to 10% compared to the design of the previous generation.
Wide aluminum fin array cooler combined with copper heatpipes absorb more heat and distribute it more efficiently.
The new and improved heat pipe layout increases direct contact with the GPU in a more densely packed space.
Freeze Fan Stop automatically enables efficient and quieter cooling by stopping the fans when the GPU is idle, while also reducing fan system wear.
Active fan control allows users to have greater control over the fans when using the Zotac Gaming FireStorm software. Adjust fan speeds independently and apply increased airflow only when needed.
The design emphasizes durability with a metal backplate that surrounds the card, increasing overall rigidity of the card.
The neutral white LED logo lighting of the graphics card will match any system it is installed in.
The advanced tuning software utilizes a simplified design that allows for easy and immersive control of the Zotac graphics card. Optimize settings from processor speed, memory speed, fan control, fan profile, Spectra LED customization, GPU monitoring functions, and much more with just a few clicks.

Long story short:
For 300-350 Euros, it is a very powerful card that delivers high frame rates in games (high graphics) and does not increase temperatures or noise, but it does not provide good RTX gaming.
9/10 would buy again
Short story long:
I bought it in April '22 for 345 Euros, still during shortages, and I chose this one because it happened to be the only 20xx / 30xx card under 400 Euros at that time (I didn't want to spend 300+ for an older card).
It is plugged into an MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk (ATX motherboard) along with 16 GB RAM & Ryzen 5 5600X.
Nothing overclocked (more on that later) and a Deepcool Matrexx 55 case (Midi tower).
First impressions when I started:
It is small. If anyone prefers a visual, it is like 1.5 mobile phones, maybe even less. It definitely fits in a midi tower and I'm almost certain it fits in 99%, if not all, mini towers. It was perhaps the easiest part during installation.
After building it:
Windows 10, absolutely no problems. The drivers were installed quickly.
Linux (Debian 11), however, I had a crazy time finding compatible drivers. While there were drivers for other 30xx cards, this one was very new and I had to dig deep to find them. I couldn't confirm if the issue has been resolved.
Performance in games (NOTE: at least on High graphics, never lower and rarely higher):
I play a variety of games depending on the company. I have tested the card on LoL / CS:GO / GTA 5, on 4X grand strategy titles (Hearts of Iron, Civilization, Stellaris, etc.), numerous RPGs (Sekiro, Sea of Thieves, Lost Ark), etc... Many of them are CPU-intensive, I know, but the card always plays a role.
Without RTX, I was impressed. 100+ FPS in all the titles I mentioned. In heavy games, it dips a bit lower, but it's always above 60 and I have never seen any dropped frames.
With RTX, it's a bit of a joke. I tried it three times in total because I was never interested in RTX, but the truth is that this card was clearly not designed with RTX in mind. It struggles even for 30 FPS and loses a lot of frames. I don't care about RTX and never use it, but let it be known for anyone interested.
Hardware performance:
First of all, I have to note that airflow was the first thing I had in mind when building the system, so I got the right Arctic PWM fans and made sure to place them correctly for good ventilation.
Now, the card itself is completely silent. It is not audible at all, except in a few cases when it struggles for a while at 60-90 frames. But even then, it's very quiet.
Also, I have never seen it reach dangerous temperatures. The highest I have seen with the monitor is 55 degrees Celsius. I don't know if I missed something because I didn't have the monitor open, but I guarantee that it never throttles even under pressure.
As for overclocking, the card is already OC "out of the box", so when I tried to tweak it, I was very conservative with what I did. It was fairly easy, but I didn't see significant improvement, so I reverted back.
Overall:
Now that I'm writing this review, it is priced at 300 Euros. It is definitely worth it for this price. It is a great card, as long as one does not intend to engage in RTX gaming.

After almost a year, I can say that it plays everything in 2K resolution (144hz monitor), most on ultra settings, at 60 fps (for 1080p, there's no need to comment, I think it's unnecessary).
System: AMD RYZEN 5, 16GB RAM, etc. ;]]
The card was purchased for 350 euros, I will not comment on prices as we do not comment on that but on the performance of the card.
So, with an i5-8600k, 16 GB of RAM, and an Asus z390 on a 1080p monitor (75hz), it plays everything in 1080p, maybe with slight compromises in GOD OF WAR only that I have noticed, in DAYS GONE-GTA5 - pubg-fortnite-lol, etc. it plays games comfortably.
In combination with i5-10400f/16gb RAM/1080p monitor,
Far Cry 5 easily reaches 60+ FPS on Ultra settings.
Elden Ring achieves 50-60 FPS in the open world (occasionally dropping below 50, but apart from some rare lag spikes, I have never noticed it going below 40) on High settings, and reaches 60+ FPS in dungeons on Ultra settings.
Borderlands 3 reaches 60-70 FPS on High settings.
Cyberpunk achieves 50-60 FPS on High settings.
The price is a bit high, but I have no complaints about its performance at 1080p.
Superior to the entire 1660 series/super/and much newer model of 2022 (3050-250$ msrp) recommended price in my opinion 220-300€.. if you want, you can also check out the rx6600-330$ msrp which is superior with 330€ and compare 3050 vs rx6600.
Guys, if you have a 1080p monitor, go ahead and get it without fear. It can handle everything at this resolution, especially if you play games like pubg, lol, warzone, cs go, etc... It will handle them comfortably! There's no need to search for used value-for-money options, no matter what! And of course, everything on ultra settings!
It is a very good card if you put it in a gen 3 mobo, it's not worth it, it's beautiful externally and I have it in the Kolink odservatory lite which is known to have poor air flow but the card did not exceed normal temperatures. I bought it for 356 with shipping and it's worth every minute
The RTX 3050 is considered a disgraceful card for Nvidia by many. Many people may sit at their PCs and tell you it's not worth it. "I bought the other card for €400 which is much better... etc." However, prices are now increased and will remain so until the end of 2022 or early 2023, as companies say, so we are looking to find a card with the best possible value for money (VFM). So, I have owned this card for about 3-4 weeks and I can tell you that it is excellent. Inside the NZXT H510i (not the best for airflow) with two 140mm fans in the front and two 120mm fans in the back, running the Heaven benchmark and reaching a frequency of 1915mhz core clock, the card reached a maximum temperature of 65 degrees Celsius, without overclocking. Even in games and under full load, I can hardly hear it, with FPS consistently at 100+ on high settings, at 1080p resolution.
Returning to the topic of price...
My plan is to sell this PC in a few years and buy a new one. Would you buy a +3 (now) (gtx series) +3 (later) meaning a 6-year-old GPU? Also, consider that by then we will be at least in the RTX 5000 generation and prices will be better. So, let's also consider the resale value and not just their current price! In summary, my opinion is to buy this GPU if you can go a little higher, and if prices are slightly better, go for the RTX 3060.
If you find it, take it if it's less than 350
Verified purchase
For its price, it's excellent!
It is worth less than 370€
If you find it for less than 350, take it. (but with 1 star)
