ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5050 Twin Edge OC 8GB Nvidia Graphic Card

The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5050 Twin Edge OC 8GB is a compact, dual-slot discrete graphics card built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture. Designed for space-efficient builds, the card measures just 220.5 mm × 120.25 mm × 41.6 mm and occupies two expansion slots, making it a practical choice for mid-tower and smaller form-factor systems alike. At its core, the RTX 5050 delivers 2,560 CUDA cores running at a boost clock of 2,602 MHz (OC mode), backed by 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus operating at 20 Gbps. The card connects to the host system via a PCI Express 5.0 x8 interface, ensuring ample bandwidth headroom for sustained workloads. NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 technology, powered by fifth-generation Tensor Cores, introduces Multi Frame Generation alongside enhanced Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction, allowing the GPU to deliver higher frame rates with AI-generated frames while maintaining visual fidelity. Fourth-generation RT Cores accelerate ray-tracing calculations for cinematic lighting and shadow effects in supported titles. NVIDIA Reflex 2 further reduces system latency through Frame Warp, which aligns rendered frames with the latest mouse input for tighter competitive responsiveness. For content creators, the ninth-generation NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) enables fast hardware-accelerated video exports in applications such as DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro. RTX Video Super Resolution upscales and sharpens streaming video in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. The Twin Edge cooling solution pairs a dual-fan heatsink assembly with ZOTAC’s FireStorm utility, which provides monitoring and tuning controls for clock speeds, GPU memory frequencies, voltage, fan speeds, and custom fan curves. SPECTRA RGB lighting effects are also configurable through FireStorm. Display connectivity is handled by three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs with UHBR20 support (capable of up to 4K 480 Hz or 8K 165 Hz with DSC) and one HDMI 2.1b port (supporting 4K 120 Hz HDR, 8K 60 Hz HDR, and Variable Refresh Rate). Quad-display output is supported simultaneously. The card requires a single 8-pin power connector and a recommended system power supply of 550 W, with a rated TDP of 130 W.
