MSI nVidia Geforce RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 6G OC Video Card, Boost: 1492 MHz, CUDA 2304 Units, 6GB GDDR6, HDMIâ„¢ x 2

The MSI GeForce RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 6G OC is a compact, efficient graphics card built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. It provides modern GPU features — including real‑time ray tracing, AI‑accelerated tasks, and efficient GDDR6 memory — in a budget‑ and power‑friendly package. Its small dual‑fan design, low power draw (no extra PCIe power connector needed), and support for up to 8K output make it a solid choice for 1080p or 1440p gaming, eSports titles, light creative workloads (video editing, streaming), and everyday multimedia use. The card is designed to deliver a “sweet spot” balance between performance, power efficiency, and cost, suitable for budget‑conscious builds or smaller cases.

Key Features

• Ampere Architecture with 2304 CUDA Cores

The RTX 3050 GPU uses NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture. The VENTUS 2X 6G OC variant includes 2304 CUDA cores, which deliver efficient performance for modern games and GPU‑accelerated applications.

• 6 GB GDDR6 Memory — Efficient for 1080p / 1440p Gaming

With 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 96‑bit memory bus, and 14 Gbps memory speed, the card achieves 168 GB/s memory bandwidth. That is sufficient for most 1080p gaming and many 1440p workloads without large memory overhead.

• Compact Form Factor & Low Power Draw

The card measures only 189 × 109 × 42 mm and occupies a dual‑slot width, making it ideal for compact or mid‑size PC cases. It draws 70 W TDP, and crucially: no extra PCIe power connector is required — it draws all power from the PCIe slot. This makes it ideal for budget or small‑form‑factor builds that use modest PSU units.

• Modern Feature Set: Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, DLSS, DirectX 12 Ultimate

The card supports ray tracing (RT Cores), AI‑accelerated tasks (Tensor Cores), and DLSS / NVIDIA features where applicable. It also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan, and all modern APIs — enabling good compatibility with contemporary games, creative apps, and GPU‑accelerated workloads.

• Multi‑Display & High‑Resolution Output Ready

The output configuration includes 2 × HDMI 2.1 (supporting up to 4K@120Hz) and 1 × DisplayPort 1.4a. The card supports a maximum digital resolution of 7680 × 4320 (8K), and up to 3 displays simultaneously. This makes it useful for multi‑monitor setups, high‑resolution editing or media consumption, and flexibility beyond gaming.
