ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5050 OC Edition 8GB Nvidia Graphic Card

The ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5050 OC Edition 8GB is a mainstream discrete graphics card built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, targeting gamers and content creators who need capable RTX-class performance in a compact, efficient package. Powered by the GeForce RTX 5050 GPU, it ships with 2,560 CUDA Cores, Fifth-Generation Tensor Cores for AI-accelerated workloads via DLSS 4 with FP4 support, and Fourth-Generation Ray Tracing Cores designed for advanced lighting and reflection rendering. The card carries 8 GB of GDDR6 video memory operating across a 128-bit memory interface at 20 Gbps, providing solid bandwidth for 1080p and entry-level 1440p workloads. The OC Edition runs a boost clock of 2,707 MHz in Performance mode and 2,677 MHz in Default mode, offering a modest factory overclock out of the box. ASUS’s thermal solution centres on three Axial-Tech fans with a smaller hub design that accommodates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure. All three fans stop entirely when GPU temperatures remain below 50°C (0dB Technology), resuming automatically above 55°C. Dual-ball fan bearings are rated for up to twice the operational lifespan of sleeve-bearing alternatives. The 2.5-slot form factor houses a heatsink with a vented backplate for additional heat dissipation, while the MaxContact heat spreader expands contact surface area by approximately 5% compared to traditional designs, targeting up to a 2°C temperature improvement. Dual BIOS support lets users toggle between Performance mode for maximum cooling and Quiet mode for a more acoustically restrained fan curve. Connectivity includes one native HDMI 2.1b port and three native DisplayPort 2.1b ports, supporting up to four simultaneous displays at a maximum digital resolution of 7,680 × 4,320 (8K). The interface standard is PCI Express 5.0, and power is drawn through a single 8-pin connector with a recommended PSU rating of 550 W. HDCP 2.3 is supported. Manufacturing uses ASUS Auto-Extreme technology, an automated single-pass soldering process intended to reduce thermal strain on components and minimise the use of chemical cleaning agents. Bundled software includes ASUS GPU Tweak III, MuseTree, GeForce Game Ready Driver, and Studio Driver.
