MSI graphics card GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB GDDR6, PCIe x8 4.0, 1492 MHz boost, 96-bit, 2x HDMI 2.1 + DP 1.4a, 70 W, 2-fan, FH/HL

MSI GeForce RTX 3050 LP E 6G OC is a low-profile graphics card equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU and 6 GB of GDDR6 memory. The card supports up to 7680 x 4320 resolution, uses a PCI Express x8 4.0 interface and comes with an active dual-fan cooler and a protective backplate to improve rigidity and thermal performance. It is compatible with DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 and includes software tools from MSI for monitoring and tuning.

Advantages

The low-profile design reduces required installation space, making it suitable for slim or compact PC builds. Dual fans increase the area covered on the heatsink to remove heat more effectively, while the backplate reinforces the card structure. MSI Center software provides real-time monitoring, tweaking and optimization, and built-in features such as OC Scanner and On Screen Display simplify overclocking and performance tracking.

Suitable for

• Compact or small form factor gaming PCs
• Home theater PCs that require a low-profile GPU
• Content creation systems needing hardware-accelerated rendering
• Users who want basic hardware overclocking and monitoring tools
