Graphics Card Zotac GAMING GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB GDDR6

The Zotac GAMING GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB GDDR6 (Eco Solo) is a discrete graphics card based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. It features the GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, and connects via a PCI Express x8 4.0 interface. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 and can drive displays up to 7680 x 4320 pixels. An active cooling solution with a single fan provides thermal management suitable for compact gaming systems.

Advantages

The card combines NVIDIA Ampere enhancements — improved RT Cores and Tensor Cores and efficient streaming multiprocessors — with high-speed GDDR6 memory for better frame rates and ray tracing performance at its class. Its compact Eco Solo design and single-fan active cooling make it suitable for small form-factor builds while maintaining necessary cooling for typical gaming loads. Support for modern APIs like DirectX 12 Ultimate ensures compatibility with current games and graphics features.

Suitable for

• Mainstream 1080p gaming
• Compact or small form-factor PC builds
• Multimedia and high-resolution display output up to 7680 x 4320
• Titles and applications that use DirectX 12 Ultimate or OpenGL 4.6
