Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5050 WINDFORCE OC 8GB Graphics Card

The Gigabyte GV-N5050WF2OC-8GD delivers reliable gaming and creative performance with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5050 architecture. Equipped with 2560 CUDA cores and an overclocked 2587MHz core clock (15MHz above reference), this graphics card handles modern gaming and content creation workloads efficiently.

Advanced Cooling Technology

The WINDFORCE cooling system combines multiple thermal technologies for optimal heat dissipation. Hawk fans with alternate spinning design increase air pressure by 53.6% and air volume by 12.5% while maintaining quiet operation. Graphene nano lubricant extends fan bearing life by 2.1 times compared to standard sleeve bearings. Composite copper heat pipes and a direct-contact copper plate transfer heat rapidly from the GPU and VRAM to the extended heatsink, which supports screen cooling for improved airflow.

Server-grade thermal conductive gel replaces traditional thermal pads on critical components including VRAM and MOSFETs. This highly deformable gel maintains optimal contact on uneven surfaces and resists deformation during transport and extended use.

RTX 5050 Architecture Features

Fifth-generation Tensor Cores deliver maximum AI performance with FP4 precision and DLSS 4 support. New streaming multiprocessors optimized for neural shaders work alongside fourth-generation ray tracing cores built for mega geometry processing. This combination enables realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in supported games.

Memory and Connectivity

8GB of GDDR6 memory running at 20 Gbps across a 128-bit bus provides sufficient bandwidth for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The card supports up to 7680x4320 maximum digital resolution across four simultaneous displays. Output options include 2x DisplayPort 2.1b and 2x HDMI 2.1b ports for flexible monitor configurations.

Compact Design and Power Requirements

Measuring 199mm (L) x 116mm (W) x 40mm (H), this dual-slot ATX form factor card fits most standard PC cases. PCI-E 5.0 interface ensures compatibility with current motherboards while maintaining backward compatibility. A single 8-pin power connector and 550W recommended PSU make this an accessible upgrade option.

GIGABYTE Control Center Software

The unified GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER software provides real-time adjustment of clock speeds, voltage, fan curves, and power targets through an intuitive interface. Monitor temperatures, usage statistics, and customize performance profiles for different applications.

WINDFORCE COOLING SYSTEM
The WINDFORCE cooling system delivers exceptional thermal performance through a combination of cutting-edge technologies. It features server-grade thermal conductive gel, innovative Hawk fans with alternate spinning, composite copper heat pipes, a copper plate, 3D active fans, and screen cooling.

HAWK FAN
The Hawk Fan features a unique blade design inspired by the aerodynamics of an eagle's wing. This design reduces air resistance and noise levels, resulting in up to a 53.6% increase in air pressure and a 12.5% increase in air volume without compromising acoustics.

GRAPHENE NANO LUBRICANT
Graphene nano lubricant can extend the life of sleeve bearing fan by 2.1 times, close to the life of double ball bearing, and is quieter.

SERVER-GRADE THERMAL CONDUCTIVE GEL
To enhance product quality and reliability, we have introduced server-grade thermal conductive gel for cooling critical components such as VRAM and MOSFETs. This highly deformable, non-fluid gel provides optimal contact for uneven surface and effectively resists deformation from transport or long-term use, unlike traditional thermal pads.

COPPER PLATE & COMPOSITE COPPER HEAT PIPE
The copper plate directly contacts the GPU, coupled with the composite copper heat pipes, which quickly transfers the heat of the GPU and VRAM to the heatsink.

SCREEN COOLING
Extended heatsink allows air to pass through, providing better heat dissipation.

GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER
GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER (GCC) is a unified software for all GIGABYTE supported products. It provides an intuitive interface that allows users to adjust clock speed, voltage, fan mode and power target in real-time.
