MSI Ventus 2X OC RTX 3050 (6 GB)

The MSI Ventus 2X OC RTX 3050 (6 GB) is a budget-friendly graphics card optimized for smooth 1080p gaming and capable of modest 1440p when settings are lowered. It includes 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus, providing adequate bandwidth for modern titles and everyday workloads. Based on NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture, the card supports ray tracing, DLSS, and other modern GPU features. The card draws all its power directly from the PCIe slot (no external power connector), simplifying build requirements and making it easy to integrate into lower wattage systems. It offers output via 1 × DisplayPort 1.4a and 2 × HDMI 2.1 for modern monitor compatibility.

With a base clock of 1042 MHz and a boost clock up to 1492 MHz, the MSI Ventus 2X OC RTX 3050 delivers stable frame rates for esports titles and lighter modern games at 1080p with high settings. It remains functional at 1440p on medium settings, though more demanding titles may require reduced quality. Its dual-fan cooling and compact dual-slot design help maintain acceptable thermals and noise levels, making it a practical choice for small-form-factor or budget-conscious builds.
