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	4	2304
Boost clock speed	1950 MHz	1470 MHz
Number of transistors	no data	8,700 million
Manufacturing process technology	5 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	no data	70 Watt
Texture fill rate	no data	105.8

Form factor & compatibility

Information on Graphics 4-Cores iGPU (Arc) and GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB 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.

Interface	no data	PCIe 4.0 x8
Length	no data	242 mm
Width	no data	2-slot
Supplementary power connectors	no data	None

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	no data	GDDR6
Maximum RAM amount	no data	6 GB
Memory bus width	no data	96 Bit
Memory clock speed	no data	14 GB/s
Memory bandwidth	no data	168.0 GB/s
