Windows Central: AndaSeat Jungle 2 Series gaming chair review: For office, for play
AndaSeat's Jungle 2 Series chair advertises itself as a good fit for gaming and office usage. And while it's still a bit on the flashy side, so long as you work from home, it can certainly be used for both advertised environments.

MMORPG.com: EVGA Nvidia RTX 3050 XC Black Graphics Card Review
During CES 2022 in Las Vegas, Nvidia unveiled the RTX 3050, pulling the veil back on their Ampere 50-series class of card. Aimed at those still rocking the 1650 or 1650 Ti, the 3050 aims to provide 1080p performance for modern titles leveraging DLSS. But how does it hold up in practice?

LanOC Reviews: EVGA RTX 3050 XC Black
At CES this year both AMD and Nvidia announced new GPUs that would be coming soon. Both were focused on a little lower on their product stack which makes sense because that is the biggest market share. Steam hardware survey still has the GTX 1060 with the highest usage with the 1650, 1050 Ti, 2060, and then 1050 rounding out the top five. Most of those cards also haven’t moved up into the RTX range, so the new RTX 3050 may be the first introduction to ray tracing and tensor cores for a lot of people as well. Today I’m going to check out what the RTX 3050 is all about then put it to the test on our freshly updated test bench and test suite to see how it compares. There aren’t Founders Editions of the RTX 3050, so today I am checking out the RTX 3050 XC from EVGA.

TechPowerUp: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 Gaming OC Review
Gigabyte's GeForce RTX 3050 comes with a medium-sized overclock paired with a large triple-fan, dual-slot thermal solution that achieves good temperatures and lets some airflow through the card. Unlike many other RTX 3050s, Gigabyte includes a metal backplate with their card for added protection.

eTeknix: Inno3D RTX 3050 Twin X2 OC 8GB Review
Ive been a fan of inno3D for a long time, having owned their GTX 980 iChill X4, which was one of my all-time favourite graphics cards with its bonkers shroud design and plentiful fans. That being said, that was a more extreme card for its time, and today were a little closer to reality.

TechPowerUp: Palit GeForce RTX 3050 StormX OC Review
Palit's GeForce RTX 3050 StormX OC is a highly compact RTX 3050 variant that's only 17 cm long, so it'll fit into a lot of ITX cases. Despite the compact looks, the card still offers a small factory overclock, and achieves very low temperatures with good overclocking potential.
