• Powered by NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture building blocks for the worlds fastest most efficient GPU, the new ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3050 is powered with 2560 CUDA Cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory. The GPU is loaded with 2nd Gen RT Cores which gives 2X throughput compared to the previous gen.
• The 128-bit PCIe 4.0 ready 3050 is designed to work at 1807 MHz at OC Mode and at 1777 MHz at Gaming Mode. Equipped with improved Axial Tech technology.
• The barrier ring on the side fans has been slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake. The center fan’s extra blades and full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader.
• Now with support for up to 4 Display in 8K resolution, the new generation cores deliver a massive boost in game performance and all-new AI capabilities. The GeForce RTX graphics card deliver advanced DX12 features like variable rate shading, bringing games to life with ultra-realistic visual effects and faster frame rates.

Take Flight

From top to bottom, the ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3050 has been radically improved to accommodate the impressive new Ampere chips from NVIDIA and to deliver the next wave of gaming performance innovation to the market. A fresh design and more metal surrounds a grouping of Axial-tech fans.

Axial Tech Upgrades

The barrier ring on the side fans has been slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake and to provide better airflow. The center fan’s extra blades and full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader.

New Directions

To bolster the specialized roles of the center and auxiliary fans, the rotational direction of the center fan has been reversed. This reduces airflow turbulence inside of the cooling array for another boost to the card’s overall thermal performance.

NVIDIA Ampere Architecture

The all-new NVIDIA Ampere architecture delivers the ultimate play, featuring advanced 2nd generation Ray Tracing Cores and 3rd generation Tensor Cores with greater throughput.

Ray Tracing

Experience today’s biggest blockbusters like never before with the visual fidelity of real-time ray tracing and the ultimate performance of AI-powered DLSS.

DLSS AI Architecture

A groundbreaking AI rendering that boosts frame rates with uncompromised image quality using the dedicated AI processing Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX. This gives you the performance headroom to crank up settings.

Max Contact

The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for improved thermal transfer.

2.7 Slot Design

The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the cards large, 2.7-slot footprint.

Fan Connect II

The rear of the ROG Strix graphics card sports two PWM FanConnect headers that provide additional DIY flexibility.

Fresh Shroud

The ROG Strix features a new face with metal accents that mirror the design aesthetic of ROG and ROG Strix motherboards. Mixing surface textures and materials make a statement when vertically mounted and lit by chassis LEDs.

Backplate

A wide backplate vent and shortened PCB allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled by the GPU’s circulating cooler design. A GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between die and heat spreader.

Functional Front

A new addressable RGB element can be customized with Armoury Crate to create a uniform look along with other ROG components. To fulfill the power demands of the GeForce RTX 3080, three 8-pin power connectors are present, along with an onboard circuit that monitors PSU rail voltage.

GPU Tweak II

The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display.
