Here we test three games, all at 1920×1080 resolution using maximum image quality settings.

We don't test a lot of games for these AIB cards reviews, for the simple reason that no factory overclock is going to add more than a handful of FPS to the GPU in question. That is perfectly illustrated by the performance numbers above – yes, both the Gaming X and Twin X2 OC are faster than the Gigabyte Eagle on paper, but the differences are so marginal they are effectively of no real consequence. In other words, no one is going to be able to tell the difference between 71FPS and 69FPS.

The good news, though, is that these cards are performing exactly as expected, which is to say that are indeed RTX 3050 GPUs.
