The MSI GeForce RTX 5050 8G VENTUS 2X OC is a graphics card for PC gamers and creators looking for an RTX 50 Series upgrade. It pairs NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5050 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 memory for gaming and creative workloads.

Its factory overclock sets the boost clock to 2,602MHz, with MSI Center offering an Extreme Performance setting of 2,617MHz. A dual-fan thermal design uses TORX Fan 5.0 fans, heat pipes and a ventilated reinforcing backplate to help move heat away from the GPU. The card also supports DLSS, Reflex and G-SYNC, and can drive up to four displays.
