ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3050 OC Edition 6GB GDDR6 - 90YV0K60-M0NA00

ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3050 OC Edition 6GB GDDR6 is a compact, budget-oriented graphics card that is based on Ampere architecture from Nvidia and is aimed at 1080p gaming and everyday work. You get 6 GB GDDR6 VRAM and 2304 CUDA cores, which is a good base for modern games at moderate settings, plus acceleration for creative applications. The card uses a standard PCI Express 4.0 interface and takes up only 2 slots, making it easy to install even in smaller cases. Although it is an OC Edition, it does not require additional power, simplifying the choice of PSU and cabling.

What you get

With 6 GB GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus and an effective speed of 14 Gbps, the card performs well with textures and heavier scenes in modern games at 1080p, without overflowing the VRAM on the first card. 2304 CUDA cores provide a stable foundation not only for gaming but also for GPU acceleration in rendering software, video editing, and photo processing, as long as the projects are not extremely heavy. Thanks to active cooling, you can rely on maintaining frequencies under load without worrying about quick thermal throttling, with normal airflow in the case. Support for OpenGL 4.6 makes it relevant for applications that rely on newer graphics libraries, and the lack of additional power means that the card will run in systems with more modest PSUs and OEM configurations.

• The graphics card is based on Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 with Ampere architecture, providing modern graphics features and good performance for 1080p gaming and everyday use.
• It has 6 GB GDDR6 VRAM on a 96-bit bus and memory with an effective speed of 14 Gbps, providing a balance between bandwidth and capacity for modern games and applications.
• With 2304 CUDA cores, the card offers decent resources for parallel computations, useful for both gaming and GPU-accelerated tasks like rendering and video processing.
• Uses a standard PCI Express 4.0 interface and takes up only 2 slots, making installation easier in most ATX and mATX cases, including more compact configurations.
• Video outputs include 1x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, and 1x DVI, allowing you to connect both modern and older monitors without additional adapters.
• The supported maximum resolution is 7680x4320, with the ability to support up to 3 displays simultaneously, which is convenient for multitasking, streaming with a second screen, or working with multiple monitors.
• The card relies on active cooling and does not require additional power, so it is powered directly from the PCIe slot, which is a plus for older or office PSUs.

Who it is suitable for

This RTX 3050 OC 6GB is a logical choice for a budget or mid-range 1080p gaming build, for an office/home machine that you want to turn into a decent gaming and multimedia center, as well as for beginners in content creation. If you aim for stable gaming at higher resolutions or maximum settings in the heaviest titles, more expensive and powerful GPU solutions will be more suitable.

The combination of 6 GB GDDR6, 2304 CUDA cores, lack of additional power requirement, and a good set of ports makes this model a practical choice for compact and economical configurations without sacrificing core gaming and multimedia capabilities.
