    • GPU Video Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a GPU’s, or graphics cards, short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the GPU can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, larger amounts of RAM for gaming or video editing increases performance.)
    • GPU Video Memory Type (RAM): GDDR6 (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
    • Slot Size: 2-slot (A graphics card only requires one PCIe/PCI slot for connection to the motherboard but, depending on size, may block other slots. The slot size listed by the manufacturer is therefore not an exact measurement of the card's size but an indication of how much clearance will be available after it is installed.)
    • Product Height: 278 millimeters (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Width: 49 millimeters (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Length: 130 millimeters (The out of box length of the item. Length is measured as the longest dimension of the item.)
    • Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Often referred to as a graphics card, a graphics processing unit (GPU) is the electronic circuitry responsible for manipulating and processing computer graphics/images and accelerating video decoding. Ultimately, a powerful GPU will provide a boost for anything involving visuals, including games, graphic design, and video editing.)

Q: Why doesn't home delivery of the product apply?

A: It's because we don't ship them due to the high demand. If it were to be stolen off your property, we can not replace it.

Q: What power supply do I need to run this graphics card

A: The RTX 3050 Gaming X 8G is suggested to be paired with a 550W power supply.

Q: is the asrock a320m/ac motherboard compatible with this gpu if not if possible list a few nvidia graphics card that are compatible

A: Really all cards will work. It depends on the size of your pc case, if you need an external power supply connected. (Some of them dont require it.) If you go for a 2 fan GPU setup from NVIDIA or anything bigger. You might need a GPU brakect to help hold the gpu up. Some tend to fall and crack the pci pins. So be careful. If the board supprts NVIDIA then you can get away with anythingnfrom a 1030gt to a 4090. Again it depends on the case your motherbaord is housed in.

Q: Will this fit in a Skytech Cronus Mini ?

A: Please contact the prebuilt manufacture to confirm compatibility with their system.

Q: Will this gpu work on a a520m/ac

A: Yes, the RTX 3050 GAMING X 8G is compatible with A520M chipset motherboards.
