INNO3D GeForce RTX 3050 TWIN X2 OC V1 (N30502-08D6X-11902130)

The INNO3D GeForce RTX 3050 TWIN X2 OC is a modern, minimalistic and compact entry-level graphics card for gaming PCs with Full HD monitors. It is made using the 8nm process technology and is part of the RTX 30XX family (Ampere architecture). Like all representatives of this series, it is equipped with separate computing cores that are responsible for hardware ray tracing technology (Real-Time Ray Tracing), as well as advanced tensor cores for DLSS processing.

This is the so-called artificial scaling technology, which, using complex algorithms, increases the original resolution in the game, while increasing the average FPS. The model is equipped with 8 GB of high-speed GDDR6 video memory with a clock frequency of 14000 MHz. The graphics core has gone through the factory overclocking process and runs out of the box at an increased frequency of 1822 MHz.

It is an entry-level device with roughly the same performance level as a GeForce GTX 1660 graphics card and is aimed at budget-conscious gamers who plan to play the latest 2020-2023 AAA titles at Full HD resolution with medium graphics settings. An important feature of the RTX 3050 is that it is poorly suited for cryptocurrency mining, and therefore does not attract the interest of miners.

The version from INNO3D is quite compact (length 24 cm, occupies 2 slots), so it can serve as a good choice for many compact cases. The advantages should also include a moderately quiet and efficient TWIN X2 OC cooling system with two 9 cm fans, a massive heatsink and a pair of heat pipes. In the minimum load mode, the cooling system provides almost silent operation. For additional strengthening and cooling of the structure, the printed circuit board was reinforced with a metal backplate.
