MSI RTX 5050 8G GAMING OC 8GB 128-bit GDDR6 graphics card

8GB GDDR6 for 1080p gaming

The MSI RTX 5050 8G GAMING OC uses the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 GPU with 2560 CUDA cores and a boost clock of 2632 MHz. It carries 8GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit bus running at an effective 20000 MHz. The card is aimed at gamers targeting 1080p resolution with modern titles.

Sustained load on a 130W design

The thermal design power is rated at 130W and the board draws supplementary power through a single 8-pin connector. A dual-fan cooler handles heat dissipation within the 202 mm length envelope. Under continuous load the GPU maintains its boost frequency within the limits of this power budget and cooling arrangement.

PCI Express 5.0 x8 ceiling

The card connects via a PCI Express 5.0 interface which, on this model, provides an x8 electrical link. That link caps theoretical bandwidth at the x8 5.0 rate, so very high frame-rate scenarios at 4K may be constrained by the bus rather than the GPU. Display outputs comprise one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1a ports supporting up to 7680 x 4320 resolution.
