MSI released its custom version of the GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card. The company named this model the Shadow 2X OC. Factory settings boost the clock speed to 2602 MHz. This represents a 32 MHz increase over the standard 2570 MHz specification. The higher speed should deliver better performance across various tasks.
The card measures less than 20 centimeters long and 12 centimeters tall. MSI designed it to fit into two expansion slots. Most modern computer cases can accommodate this size without problems. The compact design helps balance cooling needs with space requirements. Mid-range graphics cards typically use this form factor.
MSI built the cooling system around an aluminum heatsink. A single copper heat pipe moves warmth from the processor to the cooling fins. The pipe features an S-shaped design for better heat transfer. Two TorX 5.0 fans provide airflow through the heatsink. The fans use webbed blades to push air more effectively.
The Shadow 2X OC needs just one 8-pin power connector. This simplifies installation for computer builders. Power supply requirements remain modest compared to high-end cards. The RTX 5050 uses a GB207 processor made with 5-nanometer technology. It contains 2,560 processing cores arranged across 20 multiprocessors.
The card includes 8 gigabytes of GDDR6 memory running at 20 gigabits per second. A 128-bit memory interface provides 320 gigabytes per second of bandwidth. Three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs and one HDMI 2.1b port handle display connections. MSI has not revealed pricing for the Shadow 2X OC model.
