We had to call this thread the new RTX 3050 as there was a 2 year old version of this card that came with 8GB ram and all around better specifications. However, the old 3050 was always over priced for what is was and this new one, at approximately $179, is more reasonable.
Hopefully they will make a low profile version of this card.
