Detailed specifications

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	2560	7
Boost clock speed	1755 MHz	2200 MHz
Number of transistors	12,000 million	no data
Manufacturing process technology	8 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	130 Watt	no data
Texture fill rate	140.4	no data

Form factor & compatibility

Information on GeForce RTX 3050 OEM and Arc 7-Cores iGPU compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
