Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WINDFORCE OC V2 6GB Graphics Card

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WINDFORCE OC V2 delivers efficient gaming performance with NVIDIA's Ampere architecture. This graphics card features 6GB GDDR6 memory across a 96-bit interface, 2304 CUDA cores, and a factory overclocked core speed of 1477 MHz, providing reliable performance for 1080p gaming.

WINDFORCE Dual Fan Cooling System

The WINDFORCE cooling solution features two unique blade fans with alternate spinning technology. This design reduces turbulence between adjacent fans by rotating them in opposite directions, creating uniform airflow and increased air pressure for efficient heat dissipation. The triangular fan edge splits airflow and guides it smoothly through 3D stripe curves on the fan surface.

The 3D Active Fan functionality provides semi-passive cooling, keeping fans off during low GPU loads or idle states. This allows for completely silent operation during light gaming or desktop use. Graphene nano lubricant extends sleeve bearing fan life by 2.1 times, matching double ball bearing longevity while maintaining quieter operation.

Ampere Architecture Features

Built on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, the RTX 3050 includes 2nd generation RT Cores for ray tracing and 3rd generation Tensor Cores for AI-enhanced graphics. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6, with a maximum digital resolution of 7680x4320 across four displays.

Display Connectivity and Power

The card offers versatile display options with 2x DisplayPort 1.4a and 2x HDMI 2.1 outputs, supporting multi-monitor setups. The compact design measures 191mm (L) x 111mm (W) x 36mm (H), fitting easily into standard ATX builds. Power efficiency is optimized with a recommended 300W PSU and no additional power connectors required.

Premium Component Design

Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs reduce switching resistance for faster current charging at lower temperatures. Metal chokes retain energy longer than iron-core alternatives, reducing core energy loss and EMI interference. Lower ESR solid capacitors ensure improved electronic conductivity for enhanced system performance and extended lifespan.

The fully automated PCB production process eliminates sharp solder protrusions found on conventional circuit boards, creating a safer, more user-friendly installation experience. PCI-E 4.0 interface ensures compatibility with modern motherboards and maximum bandwidth for data transfer.
