YESTON
A 70W TDP and single-slot, 160mm low-profile design make this the rare RTX 3050 that fits into slim OEM desktops without a PSU upgrade. Its half-height bracket and lack of external power connector allow for a simple drop-in upgrade in space-constrained systems. This card is best for users converting compact office PCs into entry-level 1080p gaming machines or HTPCs needing modern HDMI 2.1 output.
