Built for 1080p gaming

The ASUS TUF Gaming OC Edition GeForce RTX 3050 targets 1080p gaming with 2560 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus. It connects through a PCI Express 4.0 slot and draws up to 130 W from a single 8-pin connector. The card offers two HDMI 2.1 ports and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs for up to four displays.

Clocks hold steady in long sessions

In OC mode the boost clock reaches 1875 MHz, while Gaming mode runs at 1845 MHz. The memory operates at 14 Gbps effective across the 128-bit interface. These frequencies are maintained during extended workloads rather than only in short bursts, supported by the Ampere architecture’s improved power efficiency.

Dual-fan cooler keeps thermals in check

The double-fan thermal design dissipates the 130 W TDP while keeping noise low in typical gaming scenarios. A 550 W power supply is recommended for stable operation. HDCP 2.3 compliance ensures protected content playback at up to 7680 x 4320 resolution.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the TUF-RTX3050-O8G-GAMING get when its 130W TDP runs all day?

The card draws 130W TDP through an 8-pin connector and uses a dual-fan cooler; ASUS recommends a 550W PSU so the rest of the system has headroom for sustained loads.

What must my motherboard and power supply provide for the PCI Express 4.0 interface and 8-pin connector on this RTX 3050?

You need a motherboard with a PCIe x16 slot (4.0 or 3.0 compatible) and a power supply rated at least 550W with one free 8-pin PCIe power cable.

Will the two HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs drive my older 1080p monitors alongside a new 4K panel?

Yes, the five outputs support up to four simultaneous displays at a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320, so mixed-generation monitors work without adapters.
