Built for 1080p Gaming

The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3050 is a graphics card designed for smooth 1080p gameplay. It uses the NVIDIA Ampere architecture with 2560 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit interface. The card connects via a PCI Express 4.0 slot and offers factory overclocking profiles.

Suits Compact Builds

This model fits builders who want ROG Strix cooling and quiet operation in a mid-range card. It drives up to four displays through two HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. Users targeting high-refresh 1440p or 4K gaming should consider a higher-tier GPU with more memory bandwidth.

128-Bit Memory Interface Decides Fit

The 128-bit memory bus determines the effective throughput for texture-heavy scenes. At 1080p the 8GB GDDR6 buffer is adequate for current titles. If your workload needs wider bandwidth for 1440p or professional apps, look for a card with a larger bus width.

Questions about this item

What cables or adapters come in the box with the ROG Strix RTX 3050 O8G and what must I purchase separately?

The card includes only the graphics board and documentation. Power cables, HDMI 2.1 cables and DisplayPort 1.4a cables are not supplied and must be bought separately if your power supply or monitors lack the required connectors.

Should I choose the OC mode at 1890 MHz or the Gaming mode at 1860 MHz for my build?

OC mode runs the boost clock at 1890 MHz for higher frame rates in lighter titles, while Gaming mode runs at 1860 MHz with lower fan noise and power draw. Switch between them with the ASUS GPU Tweak utility after installation.

What does the 1890 MHz boost clock mean once the RTX 3050 is installed in my PC?

The 1890 MHz boost clock is the peak frequency the 2560 CUDA cores can reach in OC mode under load. Actual sustained speeds depend on case airflow, power limit and driver settings, so typical gaming clocks may sit below this peak.
