Evidence record

Sources and verification

Specifications for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 were checked against the linked source material. Last verified .

The RTX 3050 image context comes from a reviewed owner-supplied local ASUS manufacturer image and is not asserted by the NVIDIA specification sources. NVIDIA publishes two desktop configurations. The original standard 8 GB column has 2560 CUDA cores, a 1.55 GHz base clock, a 1.78 GHz boost clock, 130 W Graphics Card Power, 550 W required system power and one PCIe 8-pin connector. The 6 GB card has 2304 CUDA cores, a 1.04 GHz base clock, a 1.47 GHz boost clock, 70 W Graphics Card Power, 300 W required system power and no supplementary connector. NVIDIA says the 6 GB card became available on 2024-02-02 and separately calls its 70 W value TGP. The scalar compute, clock and power fields store the original standard 8 GB values because the current schema cannot attach them per memory configuration. An OEM exception attached to the 8 GB column has 2304 CUDA cores, a 1.51 GHz base clock and a 1.76 GHz boost clock. NVIDIA publishes no reference length, width or slot width and no PCIe lane width for either desktop capacity.
