Graphics card BIOSTAR GeForce RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0, 2304 CUDA cores, 96-bit, 2x fans, 225×43 mm

Discrete BIOSTAR GeForce RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 is a compact graphics card designed for mainstream gaming and multimedia systems. It features an NVIDIA GPU with 2304 CUDA cores, 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96‑bit bus and a maximum stated memory bandwidth of 14 GB/s. The card supports up to three simultaneous displays via HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a and Dual Link DVI, uses an active cooling solution with two fans and fits into systems with PCI Express x16 4.0 slots. The card is compatible with DirectX 12.0 and OpenGL 4.6 and has a maximum power consumption of up to 250 W. Its compact dimensions (225 × 43 mm) make it suitable for smaller cases while keeping a full set of modern video outputs.

Advantages

The BIOSTAR GeForce RTX 3050 combines a modern NVIDIA architecture with 2304 CUDA cores and fast GDDR6 memory to provide solid 1080p gaming and GPU-accelerated multimedia performance. Its dual-fan active cooling keeps temperatures under control in mid-sized and compact PC builds. Support for HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a ensures compatibility with current high-refresh monitors and TVs, while Dual Link DVI provides legacy display connectivity. The compact length and low profile height facilitate installation in systems with limited internal space.

Suitable for

• Mainstream 1080p gaming and eSports titles
• GPU-accelerated video editing and content creation workflows
