ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC 6GB Nvidia Graphic Card

The ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC 6GB is a compact, PCIe 4.0 graphics card built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, targeting budget-conscious gamers who need capable 1080p performance without sacrificing modern GPU features. Carrying the model number ZT-A30510H-10L, it ships with 2304 CUDA cores and 6 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 14 Gbps across a 96-bit interface — a configuration that keeps power draw low enough to eliminate the need for an external power connector, drawing its full load directly from the PCIe slot. Cooling is handled by a dual-fan Twin Edge shroud that includes ZOTAC’s FREEZE Fan Stop technology, which keeps both fans completely off at low workloads, reducing noise and extending fan lifespan during light desktop tasks. The OC (Over-Clock) variant boosts the GPU core beyond reference speeds, with the boost clock listed at 1477 MHz. On the feature side, the card’s 2nd-Generation RT Cores enable real-time ray tracing in supported titles, while 3rd-Generation Tensor Cores power NVIDIA DLSS upscaling, helping maintain high frame rates at elevated resolutions. DirectX 12 Ultimate support unlocks advanced rendering features including variable rate shading. NVIDIA’s Resizable BAR allows the CPU to address the entire 6 GB frame buffer in a single pass, which can improve performance in CPU-bound scenarios when enabled in the BIOS. Connectivity is handled by an HDMI port and a DisplayPort output, supporting up to four displays at a maximum resolution of 7680 × 4320. The ZOTAC FireStorm Utility provides software-level monitoring and tuning, and GeForce Experience simplifies driver updates, game optimisation, and gameplay capture via ShadowPlay. The card’s compact form factor is designed to fit in a wide variety of mid-tower and small-form-factor cases. A 450 W power supply is recommended for a complete system build.
