What this card is and who it suits

The PNY XLR8 Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 is a refurbished graphics card built on the Ampere architecture with 8GB of GDDR6 memory. It targets 1080p gaming and multi-monitor productivity setups that need modern display outputs and hardware-accelerated ray tracing at an entry level.

What to verify before ordering

Your motherboard must provide a PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot with dual-width clearance. The board draws up to 130W and requires one 8-pin supplementary power connector plus a 500W or greater system power supply. Supported operating systems include Windows 10 64-bit (April 2018 Update or later), Windows 11 64-bit and Linux 64-bit.

Ideal uses and when to look elsewhere

This model suits builders wanting four-display support via HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a connections at 7680 x 4320 maximum resolution. Users chasing higher frame rates at 1440p or 4K, or workloads demanding more than 2560 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory bus, should consider a higher-tier GPU.

Questions about this item

Does the card ship with the 8-pin power cable or do I need to source it from my PSU?

The box contains the graphics card only; the required 8-pin supplementary power connector must come from your 500 W or greater power supply.

Is the 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer enough for 1440p gaming on this RTX 3050?

The 128-bit 8 GB GDDR6 memory at 14 Gbps handles 1080p well; 1440p is possible with lowered settings but the narrower bus limits bandwidth at higher resolutions.

What does the 1777 MHz boost clock deliver in actual frame rates?

The 1777 MHz boost clock across 2560 CUDA cores targets smooth 1080p performance in modern titles; exact frame rates depend on the rest of your system and game settings.
