Is the ARROW Prime good for 1080p gaming?

Yes. The Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 3050 6GB are built for 1080p, and most current games run well at high settings. The newest, heaviest titles need settings lowered.

Can it run 1440p or 4K?

Not comfortably. The RTX 3050 6GB is a 1080p card, and higher resolutions cut frame rates sharply, especially with only 6GB of video memory.

Does it support DLSS?

Yes. The RTX 3050 supports Nvidia DLSS, which raises frame rates in games that offer it.

Is the graphics card upgradeable later?

The RTX 3050 sits in a standard desktop slot, so it can be swapped for a stronger card. Check the power supply's wattage and connectors before choosing one.

Is it good for streaming and everyday work?

The six-core Ryzen 5 5500 handles browsing, office work and light streaming. Heavy video editing is better served by a stronger CPU and card.

Our take on the ARROW Prime

The ARROW Prime is a prebuilt gaming desktop built around an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 with 6GB of memory. That pairing is aimed squarely at 1080p play: it handles most current titles at high settings, and the 6GB of video memory is the part that limits it first in the newest, heaviest games. It suits shoppers who want a working gaming PC without building one, and it sits at the entry level of prebuilts, below machines with RTX 4060-class cards. Owners rate it well, at 4.6 out of 5 from 29 ratings.

What reviewers say

4.6 / 529 ratings

Owners rate the Prime highly, at 4.6 out of 5 from 29 ratings, and treat it as a solid 1080p starter machine. The common caveat is that the RTX 3050 is entry-level, so the newest games need settings turned down.
