In a surprising move, Nvidia has introduced its series of GeForce RTX 5050 GPUs designed for both laptops and desktop systems. The announcement caught many off guard, even though chatter about its existence had increased recently.
Key Features:
- The RTX 5050 boasts fewer CUDA cores compared to the RTX 4060 but utilizes a higher clock speed combined with DLSS 4, claiming to be up to 60% faster than the RTX 3050.
- With 2,560 cores and a boost clock of 2.57 GHz, it reaches a peak FP32 throughput of 13.16 TFLOPS, approximately 13% slower than the RTX 4060.
- It uses GDDR6 memory instead of the faster GDDR7 found in some of its more powerful siblings but is clocked higher than that found in the RTX 4060.
Price:
- The RTX 5050 is priced modestly at $249, which positions it well within the market, although there are suggestions this price might be on the higher side for some.
Release Date:
- The graphics cards are expected to hit shelves in the second half of July, so potential buyers might want to wait for performance reviews before making a purchase decision.
