I replaced my trusty old 2GB Nvidia GT1030 with a RTX3050 - it was the fastest card I could find that didn't need external power (I have an old off-lease Dell, don't want to fidget with SATA to power connectors or
swap the power supply out)
Let the gaming begin! War Thunder went from 40 fps at medium (optimized
by Nvidia) to 120 fps at max (without running their optimizer)!

Woohoo! Was your 1030 a DDR4 or DDR5 version? Those things are pretty sad... I had a DDR4 version and it was pitiful... The 3050 will suit
you a lot better, and is DLSS capable, though not FG...

Probably DDR4 - I bought it many years ago when it was a decent low-end card.
The 3050 is great, so far - fans get a little noisy when playing games, but I'm usually wearing a headset so it only bothers my family in the adjoining room. :)
