Palit GeForce RTX 3050 StormX 6GB (NE63050018JE-1070F)

Palit GeForce RTX 3050 StormX 6GB is a compact and not too powerful video card from the NVIDIA Ampere family, designed for compact gaming PCs and Mini-ITX builds. The model is equipped with only one active fan, the power of which is just enough to cool the far from most powerful chip. The length of the video card is only 162 mm, and it itself occupies exactly 2 expansion slots.

In general, this is a real midget compared to the gigantic flagship video cards of the GeForce RTX 3090 level. At the same time, the fan uses 0dB technology, which stops it at low loads, which ensures complete silent operation in such modes. The heatsink and honeycomb design allow for increased airflow and improved heat dissipation, which is especially important for small cases where space is limited.

The power consumption of the baby is only 70 W, and the simplest and most affordable power supply with a power of 300 W is enough to power the entire PC. The model's graphics chip is designed for games in 1080p resolution and demonstrates very good results for its size. For example, in Cyberpunk 2077 at maximum graphics settings the average is 50 FPS, in Shadow of the Tomb Raider more than 60 FPS and more than 60 FPS in Control. At the same time, the card can always be slightly accelerated using DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling). This is a comprehensive upscaler that provides a significant increase in performance in games and professional applications without any obvious loss of quality. But, alas, there is no built-in frame generation system, as in NVIDIA Ada Lovelace video cards.
