Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5050 OC Low Profile 8G

the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5050 OC 8G Low Profile – GV‑N5050OC‑8GL (based on how GIGABYTE usually designs “OC” and “LP / L” models in this class):

1. GPU & Target Use

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, entry‑level 50‑series card.

• Designed for 1080p gaming at medium–high settings, eSports titles at high FPS, and light content creation.

• Factory OC (overclocked) for slightly higher boost clocks than reference.

• Supports ray tracing, DLSS, and AI features, but with more modest performance than 5060 cards.

2. Memory

• 8 GB GDDR (GDDR6/GDDR7 depending on final spec).

• 128‑bit memory bus, enough for 1080p gaming and general GPU workloads.

3. Form Factor & Cooling (the “L” in 8GL)

• The “L” typically indicates Low Profile / Slim variant:

  • Short card length, suitable for small form factor (SFF) and compact cases.

  • Often includes both low‑profile and full‑height brackets in the box.

• Cooling is usually:

  • Single or dual small fans, compact heatsink, focused on fitting tight spaces rather than maximum overclocking.

• Slot usage: typically 2‑slot height even if low profile in length.

4. Power & Interface

• Lower power draw than RTX 5060:

  • Estimated around 100–130 W.

• Many low‑power 50‑class cards:

  • May not need an external PCIe power connector (powered only by the PCIe slot), or use a single 6‑pin/8‑pin if clocks are higher.

• Interface: PCIe 4.0 x16, compatible with PCIe 3.0 boards as well.

5. Display Outputs & Use Case

• Typical outputs: 3× DisplayPort + 1× HDMI, or a reduced combination on very small low‑profile models (e.g., 2× DP + 1× HDMI).

• Supports multiple monitors and high resolutions (4K+), but best suited for 1080p gaming and general desktop/content work.

• Great choice if you need RTX features in a small case or office PC that can also game.
