GV-N3050WF2OC-8GD

RTX 3050 are based on GA106 chips with additional 8-pin power supply and power consumption of 130 W.

Entry-level video card from Gigabyte, built on the progressive NVIDIA Ampere architecture (8 nm). It is a compact dual-slot solution aimed at gaming in Full HD resolution. It is a direct replacement for NVIDIA entry-level GPUs of the previous and the generation before last (GTX 1650/1660 and RTX 2060/2060 SUPER. The manufacturer is positioned as a relatively inexpensive and modern GPU for gaming in Full HD resolution.

In particular, it is quite capable of delivering a stable 60 FPS on medium-high graphics settings in the most beautiful gaming blockbusters of recent years, including Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3 and Forza Horizon 5. It is also important to note the presence of separate computing units for ray tracing and artificial scaling DLSS 2.0. These are quite important image quality technologies for NVIDIA.

and reducing the load on the GPU, which have become one of the main advantages of the GeForce RTX 3000 Ampere line Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WINDFORCE OC 8G is equipped with a GA106 graphics processor with 2nd generation RT cores, allowing real-time hardware ray tracing with a high level of fidelity. lighting and reflections. The 3rd generation Tensor Cores also support intelligent DLSS scaling based on deep learning algorithms. The graphics chip is made using an 8nm process technology and overclocked to 1792 MHz. The card has 8 GB GDDR6 (128-bit bus). The same amount of memory is used in more high-status video cards of the GeForce RTX 3000 series.

Video reviews

Basic model in the NVIDIA Ampere line

NVIDIA RTX 3050 is a budget option from the NVIDIA Ampere line, supporting ray tracing technology and DLSS 2.0 smart scaling. This graphics card is priced at an attractive price of around $200 and features the latest GA106 GPU (8nm, 2560 CUDA cores) complemented by high-speed 8GB GDDR6 video memory.

Compact and quiet operation

The model from Gigabyte is equipped with an efficient dual-slot WINDFORCE cooling system, consisting of a pair of 100 mm fans with alternating rotation, a compact passive radiator, multiple heat pipes and additional shielding. With a length of only 24 cm and occupying 2 slots on the motherboard, this graphics card is an attractive solution for compact gaming builds. It also stands out for its low power consumption of 130 W, which allows the use of a budget power supply with a power of 450 W.

Ray tracing technologies and DLSS 2.0

The GeForce RTX 3050 continues to be an attractive option in the entry-level segment, delivering acceptable graphics quality without having to sacrifice detail in every game. This model handles most 2023 games well at high settings in Full HD resolution. In optimized games such as Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, the card achieves a stable 60 FPS most of the time, occasionally dropping to 40 FPS. In the more demanding Starfield, Alan Wake 2 and the remaster of The Witcher 3, you have to focus on 30+ FPS, actively using DLSS/FSR. It’s better not to talk about ray tracing in such conditions.
