ASUS Introduced the Affordable GeForce RTX 3050 Model!

ASUS has introduced a low-profile variant of the GeForce RTX 3050 with 6 GB VRAM, making it perfect for compact PCs.

The company introduced a smaller variant to the market with the newly released GeForce RTX 3050 6GB under the BRK series. The new RTX 3050 model is an excellent choice for gamers who want to experience RTX capabilities to provide a great generation upgrade for consumers using GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1650.

Coming to the specifications, the ASUS BRK GeForce RTX 3050 comes with a 70W TDP with certain cuts to the clock speeds and onboard cores, launching this new graphics card as an entry-to-midrange GPU depending on how you intend to use it.

ASUS BRK GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Technical Specifications

• NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors: The all-new Ampere SM delivers 2x the throughput of FP32 and improved power efficiency.
• 2nd Gen RT Cores: Experience simultaneous RT and shading for a whole new level of ray tracing performance along with 2x the efficiency of 1st gen RT Cores.
• 3rd Generation Tensor Cores: Get up to 2x more efficiency with structural sparsity and advanced AI algorithms like DLSS. These cores deliver a huge boost in gaming performance and brand new AI features.
• IP5X dust resistance protects against particle ingress for better durability.
• Dual ball fan bearings last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.
• 2-slot design maximizes compatibility and cooling efficiency for superior performance in small chassis.
• Auto-Extreme technology uses automation to increase reliability.
• GPU Tweak III provides intuitive performance tuning, thermal controls and system monitoring.

As for ASUS’s model itself, it comes with a compact dual-fan design that’s nothing extraordinary as you’d expect from a low-profile model.

This particular variant will be a really viable option for consumers who prefer a low power option with good GPU performance, or for mini-ITX builds, or for those looking for a compact GPU option in general. However, it’s important to note that with “sizing down” you’ll also compromise on performance, as the end result is a low-profile model.
