Low-Profile 6 GB RTX 3050

This MSI card uses the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU with 2304 CUDA cores and a 1492 MHz boost clock. It provides 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus running at 14000 MHz effective. The board connects through a PCI Express 4.0 x8 interface and fits a 174 mm length.

Compact Build Suits Small Cases

The short 174 mm form factor and 70 W thermal design power make it a fit for slim chassis or upgrades where space and power are limited. Builders needing more memory bandwidth or higher core counts for heavy 4K work should consider larger models.

Dual-Fan Cooling And Modern Outputs

Two fans keep the 70 W TDP in check while the card drives up to three displays via two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4a connector. HDCP support and a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320 complete the feature set.

Questions about this item

Will the RTX 3050 LP 6G OC fit in a case with a 174 mm GPU length limit?

The card measures 174 mm long, so it fits exactly in a case rated for that maximum length.

Does the PCI Express 4.0 x8 interface work on a motherboard that only has PCIe 3.0 slots?

Yes, the interface is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots, though bandwidth will be limited to 3.0 speeds.

How can I confirm the boost clock is reaching 1492 MHz after installation?

Run a GPU monitoring tool under load and verify the reported boost clock matches 1492 MHz.
