Ready for 1080p gaming and creative work

The MSI RTX 3050 Ventus 2X XS 8G OC is built around the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU with 2560 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus. A boost clock of 1807 MHz and an effective memory clock of 14000 MHz give solid frame rates in modern titles at 1080p. The card connects through a PCI Express 4.0 x8 slot and supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6 for broad API compatibility.

Check slot width power and display needs

Your motherboard must provide a PCI Express 4.0 x8 slot and enough physical clearance for a dual-slot card. Verify that your power supply has the required 8-pin connector and sufficient wattage for the full system. The rear bracket offers one HDMI 2.1 port one DisplayPort 1.4a port and one DVI port driving up to four monitors simultaneously.

Dual-fan cooler keeps thermals and noise in check

The Ventus dual-fan thermal design moves heat away from the GPU during extended gaming or rendering sessions. Fan speeds ramp up under load and settle to a low idle noise level when the system is at rest. Power draw stays within the limits of a standard 8-pin feed so most mid-range power supplies handle the card without extra cables.
