EVGA GeForce RTX 3050 XC Black 08G-P5-3551-KR graphics card

EVGA GeForce RTX 3050 XC Black graphics card

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3050 XC Black is a refurbished graphics card built around the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU. It delivers 2560 CUDA cores, 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit interface, and a boost clock of 1777 MHz. A dual-fan cooler handles the 130W thermal design power within a two-slot, 202 mm length form factor.

Ideal for 1080p gaming

This card suits builders upgrading an older system with a PCI Express 4.0 slot and a 550W power supply equipped with an 8-pin connector. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 for modern titles and creative workloads. Users targeting high-refresh 1440p gaming or heavy ray-tracing workloads should consider a higher-tier GPU with more memory bandwidth.

128-bit memory interface defines the performance

The 128-bit bus feeding the 8GB GDDR6 frame buffer is the specification that most limits throughput at higher resolutions. It provides adequate bandwidth for 1080p gaming and general compute, but becomes a bottleneck when texture quality and resolution scale upward. Verify your motherboard slot and power budget match the PCI Express 4.0 and 550W requirements before purchase.
