ASUS has released a couple of RTX 3050 graphics cards but we have yet to see the cards in the TUF series. ASUS TUF RTX 3050 cards are around the corner and these include the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 OC Edition.
ASUS TUF RTX 3050 Graphics Cards
Both cards have the same design and specifications and the only difference is in the clock speeds. While the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 can boost to 1807 MHz in OC mode and 1777 MHz in gaming mode. The OC Edition can do 1875 MHz in OC mode and 1845 MHz in gaming mode. So minor difference there.
Other than that, both graphics cards come with 8GB of GDDR6 memory,
2560 CUDA Cores and a 128-bit memory bus. The cards can support 4 displays at the same time with a max resolution of 7680 x 4320. For display output, you get 2xHDMI 2.1 ports and 3x DP 1.4a.
The ASUS TUF RTX 3050 cards have a dual-fan design which should keep the thermals in check keeping in mind that this is not a very high-end graphics card. There is minimal RGB lighting on the card but there is a backplate.
The cards have a 2.8-slot design so they are going to take some space, but that also means that there is a beefy cooler to dissipate heat. The cards require a single 8-pin power connector and a 550W power supply unit is recommended.
There is no word regarding the release date as of right now, but seeing how ASUS has updated the pages for these two products, they should be around the corner.
