Product overview
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3050 OC (8GB) is an NVIDIA Ampere (RTX 30‑series) card, announced January 4, 2022 with retail availability on January 27, 2022. It pairs 8GB GDDR6 on a 128‑bit bus with RT/Tensor cores for DLSS and ray tracing.
Positioned as an entry‑tier option for budget 1080p builds, it exists to bring RTX features to smooth Full HD play. It’s well‑suited to 1080p gaming and esports; ray tracing is best used with DLSS. Board power is 130 W, fed by a single 8‑pin connector; ASUS recommends a 450 W PSU. Case fit is friendly thanks to a compact 200 mm length, true 2‑slot cooler, and standard outputs: 1× HDMI 2.1 and 3× DisplayPort 1.4a.
