Well the GRS is visible in my 70mm refractor (f/6.7 with 4mm eyepiece, about 120X) - not easily - so I'd say there's a better than even chance the OP can see it once he gets accustomed to the faint colours. My 70mm also resolves Uranus as a tiny disk. Finding it is another matter. And my eyes aren't as young as they used to be.
Don't underestimate too easily what can be seen with 3-inch scopes.
