GIGABYTE GV-N3050WF2OCV2-8GD GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card

8GB GDDR6 RTX 3050 for 1080p builds

This GIGABYTE WINDFORCE card delivers 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 2560 CUDA cores clocked at 1792 MHz. It suits gamers and creators targeting 1080p resolution on a PCI Express 4.0 x8 platform. The dual-fan cooler keeps the PCB at 199 mm long, fitting many compact cases. Two HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a outputs drive up to four displays at 7680 x 4320.

Sustained load behaviour with dual-fan cooling

Under continuous workloads the double-fan arrangement moves air across the 198.1 x 120.6 x 39 mm board to stabilise core clocks near the rated 1792 MHz. Memory runs at 14000 MHz effective across the 128-bit interface without throttling in typical 1080p scenarios. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6 support remain consistent during extended sessions. The 450W PSU recommendation reflects the single 8-pin power connector limit.

Compatibility checklist before ordering

Verify your motherboard provides a PCI Express 4.0 x8 or wider slot and that the case clears 199 mm of card length plus the 39 mm thickness. Confirm the power supply offers at least 450W and an available 8-pin PCIe connector. Ensure the chassis can accommodate the 120.6 mm card height and that your monitor cables match HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4a.
