Should you buy it?
Buy an RTX 5050 card only if you need a low-power 1080p card and can't stretch further: reviewers found it much faster than the RTX 3050, with low power draw, compact designs and a single 8-pin connector. Skip it if you can afford an RTX 5060, which is much faster for a little more money. One review said it should cost less given its speed. It's slower than the old RTX 4060 in some tests, and 8GB of memory limits some games.
