Phoenix GeForce RTX 3050 8GB

This ASUS Phoenix graphics card is built around the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit interface. It connects via PCI Express 4.0 and delivers boost clocks of 1807 MHz in OC mode and 1777 MHz in Gaming mode. The single-fan cooler fits a 177 mm length and occupies a 2.55-slot width. It draws up to 130W through an 8-pin power connector and requires a 550W power supply.

Entry 1080p gaming and multi-monitor work

The four display outputs — one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a — support up to four monitors at a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320. DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 cover modern APIs for creative applications and games at 1080p. The 2560 CUDA cores handle GPU-accelerated workloads in Adobe Creative Cloud and similar suites. Users targeting 1440p high-refresh gaming or heavy ray-tracing workloads should consider a higher-tier card.

128-bit memory interface defines the performance

The 128-bit bus paired with 8GB GDDR6 sets the bandwidth ceiling for this model. It determines how well the card handles texture-heavy scenes at 1080p and whether it can feed the 2560 CUDA cores without stalling. If your workflow or target resolution demands wider memory throughput, this specification is the limiting factor to evaluate.

Questions about this item

What is included with the ASUS PH-RTX3050-8G and what must be purchased separately?

The card itself is included. You must supply a power supply of at least 550W with an available 8-pin PCIe power connector. A PCI Express 4.0 motherboard slot and a monitor cable for the HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4a outputs are also required.

How do I decide between the OC mode and Gaming mode clock speeds?

OC mode runs the GPU at 1807 MHz boost clock while Gaming mode runs at 1777 MHz. Choose OC mode for a small performance increase in demanding workloads; choose Gaming mode for slightly lower power draw and thermals. Both modes use the same 2560 CUDA cores and 8GB GDDR6 memory.

What does the 130W thermal design power mean for my system build?

The 130W TDP indicates the cooling and power delivery needed. Pair it with a 550W or larger PSU and ensure your case has clearance for the 177 mm card length and 2.55-slot width. The single-fan cooler is designed to handle this heat output within those limits.
