GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3050 WindForce OC 6GB Nvidia Graphic Card

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WindForce OC 6GB (model GV-N3050WF2OC-6GD) is a mid-range discrete graphics card built on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture. It is designed for users seeking capable, efficient GPU performance in a compact, dual-fan form factor without excessive power demands. At the heart of this card sits the GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, featuring 2,304 CUDA cores alongside 2nd-generation RT Cores for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and 3rd-generation Tensor Cores for AI-enhanced features such as DLSS. These Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors deliver a capable compute throughput for 1080p gaming and light creative workloads. The card is equipped with 6 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 14 Gbps across a 96-bit memory interface, providing a bandwidth-efficient frame buffer suited to modern titles at 1080p. The GPU base clock is rated at 1,477 MHz, with the OC edition offering a factory overclocked boost above reference speeds. Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system employs two unique-blade fans with an alternate-spinning design that reduces turbulence and improves airflow efficiency. The 3D Active Fan feature enables semi-passive operation, allowing the fans to stop completely under low or idle loads for near-silent running. Graphene nano lubricant in the fan bearings is stated by Gigabyte to extend operational longevity. Connectivity is handled by four display outputs — 2× HDMI 2.1 and 2× DisplayPort 1.4a — supporting a maximum resolution of 7680×4320 (8K). The card connects via a PCIe 4.0 slot and does not require auxiliary power connectors, simplifying installation into most ATX or Micro-ATX systems. DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 support ensure compatibility with current game engines and APIs.
