ezst036 Not too disappointing………….. Since it has no connector, it probably will not melt like other Nvidia GPUs. A non melting GPU is actually quite satisfactory. Reply

Personally, I would compare it to the RTX 3050 6GB, which is the official sub-75W Ampere card. If I've got the right one here, this is performing WORSE than the RTX 3050 6GB, which means the hacky nature of this has hurt performance too much. Although it's still a better card simply due to having double the memory. Reply
COLGeek Seems an acceptable choice for the many SFF systems out there that the users want something stronger than integrated GPUs to go with their under-powered PSUs. This end of the PC market tends to get little love. For casual users, looks like a reasonable option. Reply
Darkhands I'd totally throw this is my media server for Jellyfin transcoding. Little GPUs have their uses too! Reply
COLGeek Looks very similar to…. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-pro-wx-4100.c2874 Reply
Bonaducci It looks like a typical server GPU. I don't mean tower server, I mean U1 or U2 servers with no power for GPUs except the PCI-e slot and often no space for anything larger than a tiny Quadro. At the same time, those servers have quite a lot of airflow, so the GPU needs little to no cooling (besides having radiator). Reply
Bigshrimp Some GPUs have their purposes. It would be good for low end gaming with older games and transcoding. Reply

Yup, and this is exactly the case: the boost clocks this is operating at are much too low. Here's a link to TPU's 3050 6GB review showing clock speeds and only Furmark was close to being as low: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3050-6-gb/40.html Reply
alan.campbell99 Would it cram into a tiny PC perhaps? Reply
