Product overview
MSI’s GeForce RTX 3050 Ventus 2X 8G OC arrived on January 27, 2022 as part of NVIDIA’s Ampere-based RTX 30 family.

Best suited for 1080p gaming and esports/high‑fps play, with ray tracing workable at modest settings when paired with DLSS. This MSI card uses 8GB GDDR6 on a 128‑bit bus and a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, and it provides three DisplayPort 1.4a plus one HDMI 2.1 (4K120). Board power is 130 W via a single 8‑pin, with a 550 W PSU recommended; the dual‑slot cooler measures a compact 235 mm for easier case fit. Notable: the x8 PCIe link.
