Product overview

EVGA’s GeForce RTX 3050 XC (08G-P5-3553-KR) is a custom Ampere card in NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 series, released January 27, 2022. It targets the entry tier, bringing RTX features like ray tracing and DLSS to budget 1080p builds. With 8GB GDDR6 and a 130 W board power, it uses a single 8‑pin connector; EVGA recommends a 550 W PSU. The compact 201.8 mm, 2‑slot cooler aids case compatibility, and I/O is standard: three DisplayPort 1.4a and one HDMI 2.1 (up to four displays). Best for 1080p gaming and esports/high‑fps with light ray tracing when paired with DLSS. Discontinued in 2022 after EVGA exited the GPU market.
