On eBay UK the typical asking price for a used RTX 3050 is £199 including postage, with most listings between £193 and £215. That is from 8 current listings, cleaned of faulty cards and parts. The cheapest working one right now is £174.
NVIDIA recommends at least a 550W power supply for the RTX 3050, which draws about 130W on its own. It takes 8-pin. Factory-overclocked partner cards can draw more, so leave some headroom.
The reference RTX 3050 is about 200mm long and 2 slots thick. Many partner cards (ASUS ROG Strix, MSI Suprim, Gigabyte Aorus) are 20-60mm longer, so check your case's maximum GPU length and the exact card model before buying.
Its performance score is 32/100 on our scale (100 = the fastest card we track), which as a rough guide means 1080p medium and esports titles. It has 8GB of GDDR6, which is tight for some new games at high texture settings.
Cards from 2020-2022 were popular with crypto miners. Mining at a steady, undervolted load is not usually what kills a card, but fans and thermal pads wear. Ask the seller how it was used, look for fan noise or high memory temperatures, and prefer a listing that is tested, boxed or still under warranty. We flag listings that mention mining.
