MSI RTX 3050 Ventus 2X 6GB

Not every build needs a $1,000 graphics card, and the MSI RTX 3050 Ventus 2X 6GB is proof of that. It's a compact, dual-fan option for gamers and general users who just need dependable 1080p performance.

This is the same RTX 3050 GPU found elsewhere in our Legacy/Entry lineup, here in MSI's Ventus 2X cooler — a good fit for smaller cases where clearance is tight. It carries a 4.6-star rating from 290 reviewers, making it one of the better-reviewed entry cards we carry.

• 6GB VRAM, suited to esports titles and 1080p mainstream gaming
• Compact dual-fan design for small and mid-tower builds
• $207.99, down from $259.97 list
