The Zotac RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC is one the most affordable GeForce RTX 3050 cards available. It comes with a compact but capable cooler that runs very quietly and still achieves good temperatures. What's also included is a small factory overclock and the fan-stop capability.

Zotac's never really been on my radar. I think they are now.

Yes Zotac has not enjoyed in the past several years the best of standing. There were many used Zotac RTX 2080 formerly 'Miner' cards for sale at the local computer show here last week. Average price $300 cash but they were not moving. But whatever the case maybe I will like many others not be buying any PC-tech soon as the price of gasoline in LA and my daily lunchbox sandwich both went up by 40%. Greetings from the man on the street!

2x the transistors to slightly beat the performance of the 1660 Super at the same power draw?

That's a fail in the technological book even before pricing.

This - my Zotac 2070 died after just one year. Only went Zotac because they had a Mini variant that fit in my old prebuilt. Regrets everywhere. Cooler's loud as hell, cooling solution barely adequate. Fans started dying out before the GPU itself did. It WAS a mini card, but not like the top models were any better.

Every gpu that achive 30+ fps on 1080p would be ok for that kind of tv, refresh rate is around that figure.
