> x50-class GeForce GPUs are among the most popular in the world, second only to the x60-class on Steam. Their price point and power profile are especially popular:
> For anyone upgrading an older x50-class system
> Each GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card is powered by a single PCIe 8-pin cable, drawing a maximum of 130 Watts at stock speeds, making it great for systems with power supplies delivering as little as 550 Watts.
The 1050, 2050 and 3050 were all bus-powered cards. I doubt 95% these systems even have the cable coming from their power supply. Imagine all the poor saps that excitedly swap out their old card for this, and... nothing works.
