Asus ROG NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Graphic Card - 8 GB GDDR6 - 1.89 GHz Boost Clock - 128 bit Bus Width - PCI Express 4.0 x16 - - HDMI (ROG-STRIX-RTX3050-O8G-GAMING)

ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 3050 OC Edition 8GB GDDR6 buffed-up design with chart-topping thermal performance.

• NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors: The all-new Ampere SM brings 2X the FP32 throughput and improved power efficiency.

• 2nd Generation RT Cores: Experience 2X the throughput of 1st gen RT Cores, plus concurrent RT and shading for a whole new level of ray-tracing performance.

• 3rd Generation Tensor Cores: Get up to 2X the throughput with structural sparsity and advanced AI algorithms such as DLSS. These cores deliver a massive boost in game performance and all-new AI capabilities.

• Axial-tech fan design has been newly tuned with a reversed central fan direction for less turbulence.

• 2.7-slot design expands cooling surface area to make the most of the three powerful Axial-tech fans.

• Super Alloy Power II includes premium alloy chokes, solid polymer capacitors, and an array of high-current power stages.

• GPU Tweak II provides intuitive performance tweaking, thermal controls, and system monitoring.

TAKE FLIGHT

From top to bottom, the ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 3050 has been designed to push performance boundaries. A fresh design and more metal surrounds a grouping of Axial-tech fans that leverage a new rotation scheme. Below the blades, a larger, more impressive heatsink is ready for the most demanding thermal loads. The PCB has some new tricks up its sleeves, and even the backplate has received some performance-boosting changes. For gamers who want to get the most out of the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the latest addition to the ROG Strix stable delivers in every way.

FANS | AXIAL-TECH FAN DESIGN

Three cutting edge fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure.

NEW DIRECTIONS

The two side fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence. And to eliminate unnecessary noise, a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 42 degrees and power consumption is low.

HEATSINK | MAXCONTACT

To get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array to benefit from the new fan design requires special attention. We use a manufacturing process that polishes the surface of the heat spreader to improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for improved thermal transfer.

HEATSINK | 2.7-SLOT DESIGN

The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the card's large, 2.7-slot footprint.
