Ya, getting tempted but can wait. Only this time will research properly make sure I choose top-end chipset MB and make sure Graphics card I choose to get runs properly @ x16 - not a gimped one.

Received the Card. NVIDIA SI showing PCI Express x8 Gen2. GPU-Z shows the same info. However Card is working well. Forza 4 plays perfect locked @ 60FPS (Ultra settings). Visuals are very good and game runs smooth, much better than on 1060 and 1650 I had used previously. Card suits my needs...

I'm using ASRock-VG4: link As you can see it's only got 2 slots, so only one slot the Graphics Card will actually fit into. This Board is relatively new iteration based on an old chipset. You guys may or may not be familiar with it possibly could have only been released in low-cot markets. I...

Ohhh thanks for pointing it out to me. Shocked by this - will seriously think about cancelling if possible.

The Card I ordered is: ASUS Dual RTX 3050 OC Edition

Checked manual - Slot is definitely x16

Good to hear, thanks.

Thats interesting, using a i7-4790K - just checked specs in Intel's site and indeed it states PCI-E 3.0 for the CPU but PCI-E 2.0 for H81. Had a 1060 in similar setup a couple of years back and was getting quite decent performance. Hopefully new card will work equally well too. But more of a...

It's H81 Chipset, I checked the Manual and it states PCI-E 2.0. MSI Ventus - I bought it on 3 Jun 2019, came with 3 year warranty so only just missed it :(

Ordered, thanks

My 1650 just died and want to replace it with 3050 Card. But my MB is old Haswell based thing with a PCI-e 2.0 slot. I understand PCI-e 4.0 is backwards compatible but just need someone confirm to me will work OK, cheers.

Thanks for the reply. Good to know, MSI 1060 should be the same too I'd imagine.

LOL ... Thats what I had in mind too!

I want buy this Card but don't care too much for the lights. I know the MSI APP allows the Lights to be switched off. I'd like to know if it remembers the off state on next boot or do you need to enter the App every time to switch them off?

OK, thanks for this info will give it a go once I've acquired a new Laptop.

I need to get a new Windows Laptop. My question is if I load a retail copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on new model Laptop with newer chipset with 4th/5th gen i3 will it load or would I need to slipstream SATA, etc drivers first? Cheers.

I travel to Thailand every year and have been taking Cod Liver Tablets with me and never had any issues.

You'll get bit less than XE rate at Thomas Cooks, American Express etc in India. Some independent changers will actually offer you MORE than the actual rate. Take £50 notes with you. I use 'Santander Zero' Card as well they dont charge for ATM's but the Indian Bank may make charge best to check...

AKG 701 cover the whole ear very, very comfortable.
