ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 Eco 8GB Nvidia Graphic Card

The ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 Eco 8GB is a compact dual-slot graphics card built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, designed to deliver capable 1080p gaming performance within a power-efficient 115W thermal envelope. Powered by 2,560 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus running at 14 Gbps, the card provides a solid foundation for modern gaming titles, ray-traced visuals, and AI-accelerated rendering. The GPU boost clock reaches 1,777 MHz, and the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface ensures low-latency data transfer with compatible motherboards. ZOTAC's IceStorm 2.0 cooling system covers the card with purpose-built fan coverage and is paired with an Active Fan Control feature that includes FREEZE Fan Stop — the fans come to a complete stop under light or idle loads, reducing noise and extending fan lifespan. A wraparound metal backplate adds structural rigidity to the card's 222.3 mm length form factor, making it suitable for mid-tower and compact ATX builds alike. On the display side, the card offers three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs (supporting up to 7680×4320 at 60 Hz) and one HDMI 2.1 connector (supporting 4K 120Hz HDR, 8K 60Hz HDR, and variable refresh rate), enabling quad-display configurations. HDCP 2.3 is supported across all outputs. The card draws power through a single 6-pin connector with a 450W recommended system PSU, making it a straightforward upgrade with minimal cabling. SLI is not supported. Software support includes NVIDIA DLSS 2.3 for AI-driven resolution upscaling, NVIDIA Reflex for latency reduction, NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) for hardware-accelerated streaming, NVIDIA Broadcast for AI-enhanced audio and video, and the ZOTAC GAMING FireStorm utility for fan speed control and GPU monitoring. DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 are both supported.
