With 8 GB of GDDR6 RAM and 14 Gbps (effective data rate), the GeForce RTX 3050 is not far away from previous-generation models in terms of performance. A 128-bit bus connects all of this memory together. DisplayPort 1.2 is supported by the RTX series GPUs as well as the RTX 3050, 3060 and 3060 Ti series. The HDMI 2.1 connector supports 8K 60 Hz HDR using the HDMI interface. The card is around 1kg in weight. It's also a rather small design, measuring only 29 centimeters in length. Because it is a dual-slot card, it will fit perfectly. The backplate is also open on both sides.
Apart from that, it is the STRIX appearance and feel that has garnered a following throughout the years. ASUS integrates their Axial fan technology inside the card, and the cooler conforms to the new max contact base plate. As noted previously, this card is 2.7 slots wide, and being a ROG, there are some additional fan ports on the backside. The backplate of the card is ventilated.
Today we’re putting the new Asus ROG THOR 1000W PLATINUM II power supply on our test bench. The company is not so much known from their PSUs (as they’re rather associated with the motherboards, graphic cards, monitors, or peripherals). Still, we had a chance to check the first Thor at the end of 2018, when the 1200W version was reviewed (priced 329 EUR/USD), earning the “Best Hardware” award. Will the new version be as successful?
