Entry 1080p GPU for budget builds

This MSI Ventus card targets builders who need a modern GeForce RTX 3050 with six gigabytes of GDDR6 memory. The PCI Express 4.0 x8 interface and 2304 CUDA cores make it suitable for 1080p gaming and everyday creative workloads. Dual fans keep the 70 watt thermal design within a compact 189 millimetre length.

Sustained 70 watt thermal envelope

Under continuous load the 70 watt TDP stays steady without demanding a large power supply; a 300 watt unit is sufficient. The boost clock of 1492 MHz is maintained because the double-fan cooler moves air across the heatsink consistently. Memory runs at 14000 MHz effective across the 96-bit bus, delivering stable bandwidth for extended sessions.

6GB 96-bit GDDR6 frame buffer

The six gigabyte capacity on a 96-bit bus is the specification that determines whether this card fits a given workload. It provides enough VRAM for current 1080p titles at medium to high settings while the narrow bus limits 4K texture performance. Three display outputs — two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4a — support multi-monitor setups up to 7680 by 4320 resolution.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 70W TDP card dump into my case during long sessions?

The 70W thermal design power means modest heat output; the dual-fan cooler exhausts it efficiently inside a normally ventilated chassis.

My PSU only has a 6-pin PCIe connector — will the RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 6G OC run without an 8-pin?

At 70W TDP the card draws all power from the PCI Express 4.0 x8 slot, so no external PCIe power connector is required.

Will the 189mm length and PCI Express 4.0 x8 interface work in my older PCIe 3.0 motherboard?

Yes, the x8 edge connector is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots and the 189mm length fits most ATX cases.
