Graphics Card Gainward GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB GDDR6

The Gainward GeForce RTX 3050 Pegasus is a compact mini-ITX compatible graphics card designed for small-form-factor PCs that require capable GPU performance. Equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus and PCI Express 4.0 interface, the card supports up to 7680 x 4320 resolution and modern graphics APIs including DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6. The single-fan cooling solution features a ZERO RPM mode for silent operation under light loads while providing active cooling when demand increases.

Advantages

The card combines NVIDIA Ampere architecture with 2nd generation ray tracing cores and 3rd generation Tensor cores to deliver real-time ray tracing, AI-accelerated features such as DLSS, and low-latency technologies like NVIDIA Reflex. It supports NVIDIA G-SYNC, GeForce Experience tools for driver updates and capture, and includes hardware encoding optimized for streaming. Small form factor compatibility and PCIe 4.0 connectivity enable both compact builds and adequate bandwidth for gaming and creative workflows.

Suitable for

• Compact mini-ITX gaming PCs
• 1080p and entry-level 1440p gaming with ray tracing and DLSS
• Content creation workflows that benefit from CUDA and Tensor acceleration
• Streaming and recording gameplay with hardware encoder
• Systems requiring low-noise operation during light tasks

Key specifications

• Graphics processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
• Memory: 6 GB GDDR6, 96-bit memory bus
• Memory clock speed: 7000 MHz
• Interface: PCI Express 4.0
• Maximum resolution: 7680 x 4320 pixels
• Outputs: 1 x HDMI, 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x DVI-D
• Supported APIs: DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan RT API

How to use

Install the card into a free PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot on a compatible mini-ITX or ATX motherboard, secure it to the chassis, and connect any required auxiliary power if your system demands it. Attach display cables (HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI-D) to your monitor. After first boot, install the latest Game Ready drivers from NVIDIA or via GeForce Experience to enable features like DLSS, Reflex, and hardware encoding. Use GeForce Experience to capture gameplay, optimize game settings, and update drivers.

Recommendations

For best results, pair the card with a modern CPU and a power supply that meets the system’s requirements. Ensure adequate case airflow for sustained high-load operation; enable ZERO RPM mode for silent idle performance and allow the fan to ramp up during heavier gaming or rendering sessions.
