Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3050 - Description

OC Edition 8GB Graphic Card

NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors:

The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3050 OC Edition 8GB is powered by the latest NVIDIA Ampere architecture. The all-new Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors deliver 2X the FP32 throughput while enhancing power efficiency. This means gamers can enjoy faster performance, improved responsiveness, and a smoother gaming experience across their favorite modern titles.

2nd Generation RT Cores:

Equipped with 2nd Generation RT Cores, this graphics card doubles the throughput compared to previous generations. It also enables concurrent ray tracing and shading, delivering realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows for next-level immersion. With enhanced ray tracing capabilities, the RTX 3050 lets gamers experience cinematic-quality visuals in every compatible game.

3rd Generation Tensor Cores:

The 3rd Generation Tensor Cores provide up to 2X the performance boost with structural sparsity and advanced AI-driven technologies such as DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling). These AI features enhance frame rates and image quality, giving players both higher performance and smoother visuals without compromising on resolution or detail.

TAKE FLIGHT:

The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3050 is designed for gamers who demand the best from NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture. Its metallic shroud surrounds powerful Axial-tech fans, while the redesigned heatsink handles demanding thermal loads. Even the PCB layout has been optimized for improved performance, making it an ideal choice for high-end gaming builds.

AXIAL-TECH FAN DESIGN:

This card’s triple-fan setup features an advanced Axial-tech design with smaller hubs that allow for longer blades. Additionally, the inclusion of a barrier ring helps increase downward air pressure. These improvements deliver enhanced airflow to the heatsink, ensuring cooler operation and consistent performance during gaming marathons and demanding graphics tasks.

NEW DIRECTIONS:

ASUS designed the side fans to rotate counterclockwise, which helps minimize airflow turbulence and improve cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the intelligent fan-stop feature completely halts fan rotation when GPU temperatures fall below 42°C, eliminating unwanted noise during light workloads or idle conditions, providing gamers with a quieter and more efficient experience.

MAXCONTACT TECHNOLOGY:

The MaxContact design enhances thermal transfer by polishing the heat sink surface at a microscopic level for improved smoothness. This ultra-flat finish ensures better contact between the GPU die and the heatsink, increasing heat transfer efficiency. As a result, the RTX 3050 delivers superior cooling and improved stability under heavy gaming loads.

2.7-SLOT DESIGN:

By using a large heatsink with a 2.7-slot profile, the RTX 3050 ensures maximum heat dissipation. Heat pipes transfer energy effectively to an array of cooling fins, ensuring efficient airflow distribution. This design maximizes cooling performance, ensuring that the card remains cool and stable even during prolonged gaming sessions or creative tasks.

FRESH SHROUD DESIGN:

The ROG Strix RTX 3050 introduces a fresh metallic design with premium gray finishes and accents inspired by ROG motherboards. This sleek aesthetic not only enhances the internal look of your gaming rig but also provides an eye-catching effect when paired with RGB lighting, especially in vertically mounted builds.

IT’S COOLER OUT BACK:

The rear side of the card is designed for maximum airflow efficiency. Wide backplate vents and a shortened PCB allow hot air to escape directly toward the chassis exhaust fan. Stainless steel I/O brackets improve durability, while dual BIOS switches offer quick access to performance or silent modes for customized gaming.

FUNCTIONAL FRONT DESIGN:

A new RGB lighting element runs along the front edge of the card, customizable via ASUS Armoury Crate software. Sync lighting effects across all ROG components for a unified look. The card uses an 8-pin power connector with built-in monitoring circuits that detect PSU voltage drops, with LED alerts for safety.

GPU TWEAK II SOFTWARE:

ASUS GPU Tweak II enhances overclocking and monitoring, giving gamers precise control of GPU settings. Users can tweak core clocks, memory speeds, and voltages while monitoring system health with an on-screen display. Advanced fan controls are included, ensuring efficient cooling and stable performance, helping gamers fully maximize their RTX 3050.
