Specification


Technical Description: MSI GeForceCloseGeForce is a brand of graphics processing units (GPUs) designed by Nvidia RTX 5050 8G SHADOW 2X OC NVIDIA 8 GB GDDR6

Design
Product colour:
Black
Number of fans:The quantity of fans (apparatus with rotating blades that creates a current of air for cooling or ventilation).
2 fan(s)
Cooling technology:
MSI TORX FAN 5.0
Cooling type:The method used to cool the device or to cool the air around the device.
Hybrid/All-in-one

Memory
Memory bandwidth (max):
20 GB/s
Memory clock speed:The frequency at which the memory (e.g. RAM) runs.
2617 MHz
Memory bus:Hardware and software that connects the main memory to the memory controller in computer systems. Originally, general-purpose buses like VMEbus and the S-100 bus were used, but to reduce latency, modern memory buses are designed to connect directly to DRAM chips, and thus are designed by chip standards bodies such as JEDEC.
128 bit
Graphics card memory type:
GDDR6
Discrete graphics card memory:
8 GB

Packaging data
Package type:The type of product package e.g. box.
Box
Package weight:Weight of the packaged product.
812 g

Performance
NVIDIA G-SYNC:
Yes
OpenGL version:OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a specification defining a cross-language cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 3D computer graphics (and 2D computer graphics as well). The interface consists of over 250 different function calls which can be used to draw complex three-dimensional scenes from simple primitives.
4.6
DirectX version:DirectX is a collection of APIs (application programming interfaces) for easily handling tasks related to game programming on the Microsoft Windows operating system.
12 Ultimate

Ports & interfaces
DisplayPort version:
2.1b
Mini DisplayPorts quantity:
0
HDMI version:
2.1b
Mini HDMI ports quantity:The new HDMI mini connector, next to the regular HDMI connector, is designed to be used with small portable devices such as camcorders and digital still cameras.
0
Thunderbolt 3 ports quantity:
0
DisplayPorts quantity:Number of DisplayPorts. A DisplayPort is a digital display interface developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The interface is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, though it can also be used to carry audio, USB, and other forms of data.
3
DVI-D ports quantity:This is the amount of DVI-I interfaces. Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video display interface developed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). The digital interface is used to connect a video source to a display device, such as a computer monitor. DVI-D means DVI digital, which means it can only support digital, but not analog.
0
DVI-I ports quantity:This is the amount of DVI-I interfaces. Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video display interface developed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). The digital interface is used to connect a video source to a display device, such as a computer monitor. DVI-I is DVI integrated, which means it can support digital and analog.
0
HDMI ports quantity:The number of sockets (ports) for HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transferring uncompressed video data and compressed/uncompressed digital audio data from a HDMI-compliant device ("the source device") to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device. HDMI is a digital replacement for existing analog video standards.

CUDA:CUDA (aka Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and programming model created by NVIDIA and implemented by the graphics processing units (GPUs) that they produce. CUDA gives program developers direct access to the virtual instruction set and memory of the parallel computational elements in CUDA GPUs.
Yes
Maximum resolution:The maximum number of pixels that can be displayed in the image. It is usually quoted as width × height,: for example, "1024 × 768" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels.
7680 x 4320 pixels
Graphics processor:Also known as a graphics processing unit (GPU), this is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display. GPUs are used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles. Modern GPUs are very efficient at manipulating computer graphics.
GeForce RTX 5050
