Gigabyte RTX 3050 WINDFORCE OC 6G Overview

Based on the Ampere architecture and designed to handle the graphical demands of Full HD 1080p gaming, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WINDFORCE OC 6G Graphics Card brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to your PC games. The GPU features 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 96-bit memory interface, offering improved performance and power efficiency over the previous Turing-based generation.

The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs, such as DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 48 Gb/s bandwidth and a range of higher resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K @ 60 fps, 4K @ 120 fps, and even up to 10K. The RTX 3050 is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 2304 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA and other APIs.

For cooling, Gigabyte implemented the WINDFORCE cooling system. The dual fans feature alternate spinning to reduce turbulence and increase airflow pressure. With a TGP of 70 watts, the RTX 3050 is powered exclusively by the PCIe slot, removing the need for additional power connectors.

NVIDIA Ampere Architecture
The NVIDIA Ampere architecture can deliver twice the FP32 throughput of the previous generation. Its 2nd Gen RT cores provide enhanced ray tracing and shading while its 3rd Gen Tensor Cores can run AI-powered technologies efficiently.
Real-Time Ray Tracing
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX platform enables real-time ray tracing of objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, refractions, and global illumination.
DLSS
NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is AI rendering that boosts frame rates while still providing optimal image quality using the dedicated AI processing Tensor Cores on the GeForce RTX platform. This gives you the performance you need to maximize ray tracing settings and resolutions for an immersive visual experience.
HDMI 2.1
The HDMI 2.1 interface provides increased bandwidth, allowing a single cable to output to 8K HDR TVs for ultra-high-resolution gaming.

Asked by: Bille
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WINDFORCE OC 6G Graphics Card and the low profile version have similar performance. The main difference is the low profile version could run hotter and have louder fans.
