Zotac GeForce RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC
The Zotac GeForce RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC features a boost clock of 1807MHz, 30MHz higher than the reference clock. It only makes a small difference in performance, but the official MSRP of the card is $150 higher. Cards like this will be far more common than Nvidia's hypothetical $249 baseline price, at least until the GPU shortages are over.
