GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3050 WindForce OC V2 8GB Nvidia Graphic Card

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WindForce OC V2 (model GV-N3050WF2OCV2-8GD) is a mid-range discrete graphics card built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. It is designed for gamers and content creators who want capable real-time ray tracing and AI-accelerated features in a mainstream package. At its core, the RTX 3050 GPU features 2,560 CUDA cores arranged across NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors, paired with 2nd-generation RT Cores for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and 3rd-generation Tensor Cores for DLSS and AI workloads. The card carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 14 Gbps over a 128-bit interface, striking a balance between capacity and bandwidth suitable for 1080p and moderate 1440p gaming. Gigabyte equips this card with its WINDFORCE cooling system, featuring dual 90 mm unique blade fans that provide efficient airflow over the heatsink. The OC (overclocked) variant ships with a GPU base clock of 1,792 MHz, higher than the reference specification, allowing additional headroom for performance-demanding scenarios. Connectivity is handled by four display outputs — two HDMI 2.1 ports and two DisplayPort 1.4a ports — supporting resolutions up to 7,680 × 4,320 (8K). The card connects to the motherboard via a PCI Express 4.0 slot and requires a single 8-pin power connector from the system PSU. Software support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6, keeping the card compatible with modern game engines and professional applications. The package includes the graphics card and a user manual. Gigabyte backs the product with a 3-year warranty.
