Nvidia RTX 3050 Review ft. Gigabyte and Palit

For our manual overclocking tests, we used MSI Afterburner. Our best results are as below.

RTX 3050 Eagle:

RTX 3050 StormX OC:

Both cards were able to increase their operating clock speeds by over 150MHz, though we can note the Eagle clocked slightly higher as its power limit can be increased by 10%, whereas the StormX OC's remains locked at 130W.

Both cards saw performance increases of between 8-11%, which is not bad at all and shows there is some untapped headroom in the RTX 3050 – as demonstrated in Hitman 3, where we saw over a 10 FPS boost.

Power draw did increase by 13W for the Eagle, but as the StormX OC's power limit cannot be increased, there was no real difference shown.
