Based on the Ampere architecture and designed to handle the graphical demands of Full HD 1080p gaming, the ASUS GeForce RTX 3050 6G Dual OC Graphics Cardbrings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to your PC games. The GPU features 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 96-bit memory interface, offering improved performance and power efficiency over the previous Turing-based generation.

The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs, such as DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 48 Gb/s bandwidth and a range of higher resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K @ 60fps, 4K @ 120fps, and even up to 10K. The RTX 3050 is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 2304 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA and other APIs.

For cooling, ASUS implemented dual fans, providing improved airflow and dispersion.

The NVIDIA Ampere architecture can deliver twice the FP32 throughput of the previous generation. Its 2nd Gen RT cores provide enhanced ray tracing and shading while its 3rd Gen Tensor Cores can run AI-powered technologies efficiently.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX platform enables real-time ray tracing of objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, refractions, and global illumination.

NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is AI rendering that boosts frame rates while still providing optimal image quality using the dedicated AI processing Tensor Cores on the GeForce RTX platform. This gives you the performance you need to maximize ray tracing settings and resolutions for an immersive visual experience.

The HDMI 2.1 interface provides increased bandwidth, allowing a single cable to output to 8K HDR TVs for ultra-high-resolution gaming.

Q: 3. How many rack units does this model take up? Thanks!

A: The Smartscope Duo 4k takes up 3 rack units.

Q: 4. The SmartScope work on windows and mac?

A: Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K Rack-Mounted Dual 6G-SDI Monitors these are designed to be connected to a network, not directly connected to computers. If connected together on a network both Mac an Windows can control them.

Q: 5. Do the outputs strictly loop-out unaltered video, or can you use outputs to view waveform and scope on a larger monitor?

A: The Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K Rack-Mounted Dual 6G-SDI Monitors outputs are a loop out of the inputs, nothing is altered.

Q: 6. Hi, The monitor itself is 4K or the screen is HD?

A: I believe the monitors accept 4k but down res it to the screen resolution which is more like hd.

Q: 7. Is the enclosure solid wood or metal clad with walnut covering?

A: The NAD Electronics C 3050 Integrated Amplifier with BluOS MDC2 features a wood grain vinyl wrap.

Q: 8. Does it support HDR (BT2020) signal?

A: Yes. The signal will pass but no picture will be displayed.

Q: 9. does unit monitor 12g sdi signal or does signal need tobe converted down to 6g? Will smartscope at 12g sdi?

A: No, the Smartscope Duo will only be able to handle a 6G-SDI at UHD 4K at the most for auto detection. The Smartview 4K 2 15.6"DCI 4K Broadcast Monitor 6RU (BH #BLSV4K2) has a 12G-SDI input that can auto detect signal up to UHD cxc4kc.
