Asus Dual RTX 3050 V2 OC Edition 8GB Graphics Card

The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3050 V2 OC Edition is a compact, dual-fan graphics card built on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, offering a measured step up for 1080p gaming builds and content-creation workstations that need ray-tracing and AI-upscaling capability without a large footprint. At its core, the card houses 2,560 CUDA cores paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running across a 128-bit interface at 14 Gbps effective bandwidth. In OC mode the GPU boost clock reaches 1,852 MHz, while the default Gaming mode runs at 1,822 MHz — both figures verified from the manufacturer's published specifications. A single 6-pin power connector and a 450 W PSU recommendation keep the build accessible and affordable. Cooling is handled by two Axial-tech fans featuring a smaller hub, longer blades, and a barrier ring that directs airflow downward onto the heatsink. The entire assembly fits in a 20 cm, 2-slot profile, making it well suited to mATX and mini-tower chassis where space is at a premium. ASUS's 0 dB Technology halts both fans entirely when GPU temperature drops below 50 °C under light load, reducing acoustic output during everyday tasks. The Ampere SM delivers 2× the FP32 throughput versus the previous generation, while 2nd-generation RT Cores enable concurrent ray-tracing and shading, and 3rd-generation Tensor Cores support DLSS for AI-driven resolution upscaling. These features extend the card's relevance into DX12 titles and creative workloads that leverage GPU-accelerated AI inference. Display connectivity covers up to three simultaneous outputs at a maximum resolution of 7680 × 4320 via a combination of HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI-D ports. OpenGL 4.6 and DirectX 12 support are confirmed. Manufacturing uses ASUS Auto-Extreme Technology — a fully automated single-pass soldering process that reduces thermal stress on components and eliminates harsh chemical cleaning steps. The card carries a 3-year warranty. ASUS GPU Tweak III software provides real-time monitoring, clock and voltage adjustment, and a customisable screen display. — Verified Specifications — GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Ampere) | CUDA Cores: 2,560 | Memory: 8 GB GDDR6 | Memory Interface: 128-bit | Memory Clock: 14 Gbps | Boost Clock (OC): 1,852 MHz | Boost Clock (Default): 1,822 MHz | PCI Express: 4.0 | Ports: HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D | Max Displays: 3 | Max Resolution: 7680 × 4320 | Power Connector: 1 × 6-pin | Recommended PSU: 450 W | Card Length: 20 cm | Slots: 2 | DirectX: 12 | OpenGL: 4.6 | Warranty: 3 Years
