Is the 6GB RTX 3050 still the top choice for 1080p gaming without needing a 6/8-pin adapter?

Technically the RTX A2000 or RTX 4000 ADA would be, but those cost between $700 and $1500 if budget isn't an issue.
😊
The 3050 6GB is presently the most efficient gaming card offering affordability, with designs that avoid needing PCIe power cables. It's also expected to have a slim profile.
A potential concern is its dual slot configuration, which may affect compatibility—you might need a different model like the RX 6400 or an older Nvidia card such as the GTX 1050.
You could also look for older workstation cards that are single slot, though they might not be ideal.

The question relates to which games you intend to tax the GPU for. Here are the details you should provide:
Specs to include in the same format as before:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
Storage: SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Additionally, mention the age of the PSU along with its make and model.
BIOS version for your motherboard at this time.

OK. Let me rephrase that... is the RTX 3050 6GB still the fastest 1080p gaming card that runs off of slot power alone?

😊
Alternatively, the 3050 6GB remains the fastest affordable gaming card that doesn’t need PCIe power cables. It’s also expected to be a low-profile model.
A potential concern is it will likely be dual slot, so verify compatibility or consider alternatives like the RX 6400 or an older Nvidia card such as the GTX 1050.
You might also discover single-slot workstation cards, but their performance could fall short compared to the RTX 3050 6GB.
