The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WINDFORCE OC V2 6GB is a factory-overclocked graphics card based on NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture. It features 2304 CUDA cores, a core clock of around 1477 MHz (higher than the 1470 MHz reference), and comes with 6GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit interface running at 14 Gbps. This card supports advanced NVIDIA technologies such as DLSS, Reflex, real-time ray tracing, and the NVIDIA Broadcast and Studio platforms for creators.
Cooling is handled by Gigabyte’s WINDFORCE dual-fan system, which uses alternate spinning technology to reduce turbulence, semi-passive 3D Active Fans for silent operation at low load, and graphene nano lubricant for extended fan life. The card also uses Ultra Durable components like low RDS(on) MOSFETs, metal chokes, and solid capacitors for stability and longevity. It connects via PCI Express 4.0 x8, offers two HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, and supports resolutions up to 7680×4320 across up to four displays. Power consumption is around 130W, with a recommended PSU of at least 300W.
The card comes with a standard 3-year limited warranty, covering manufacturing defects and failures under normal use. Warranty claims require proof of purchase and must be made through authorized Gigabyte service centers. Damage caused by misuse, modifications, overclocking beyond specifications, mining, or environmental factors is not covered. In some regions, registering the product online may extend the warranty up to 4 years. Warranty terms can vary depending on location.
