There’s been a few Low Profile GPUs this generation including the first featuring triple fan designs and today ASUS is expanding that list albeit for the last generation and for a GPU that hasn’t seen much attention, the RTX 3050 6GB.
The RTX 3050 6GB is a cut down variant of the RTX 3050 which really should be called the RTX 3040. The card is an entry level offering which doesn’t offer much for gamers but its low power requirements of just 70W enable this card to launch with a smaller cooler and a lack of a dedicated power cable as it can run just off the PCIe power. This all adds up to a possible option for someone just needing a GPU for a small low power system one of these options is ASUS’ new RTX 3050 6GB BRK low profile GPU.
This GPU sports a fairly unremarkable low profile dual fan design that is more similar to the RTX 20 Series Dual design than the 30 series design, of course at a smaller size. This GPU will be available in both a non-OC variant and an OC Variant which features a clock speed of up to 1537 MHz. One thing that has been noted however is that these GPUs don’t appear to feature a low profile PCIe bracket which may be a dealbreaker for some. The card features 1x HDMI, 1x Display Port and 1x DVI.
As for pricing this card can be expected for somewhere in the range of £170-200 based upon current listings at sites such as Scan.co.uk including the full sized variant of this card and MSI’s Low Profile option.
