Nvidia has announced GeForce RTX 5050 GPUs for both desktops and laptops with support for ray tracing and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation.

 

On the desktop side, the RTX 5050 will start at $249, draw up to 130W of power, and feature 8GB of last-gen GDDR6 video memory (VRAM) and 2,560 Blackwell CUDA cores. The cards will be made by third-party partners like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Zotac, and others, with expected shipments in the second half of July...

 

The RTX 5050 laptop GPU will draw 35W to 100W of power and use 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM and 2,560 Blackwell CUDA cores. Laptops running a 5050 GPU are expected to start at $999, with availability of some models beginning today. Early models launching before Nvidia’s Game Ready Drivers are released will have drivers for the 5050 GPU pre-installed. GDDR7 VRAM is more power efficient than GDDR6, allowing the laptop version of the 5050 to fit into slimmer notebooks...

 

My thoughts

Will it be possible to buy it for $500?

 

Will it run Crysis at 10fps?

It'll be faster than the RTX 2060 but slower than RTX 3060 in CUDA tasks (cuda core count, though real world performance may vary with newer architectures of CUDA).

One thing I know is 130W is too much for a budget GPU. There isn't any no-cable capable GPUs anymore other than the 2-generation old RTX 3050 6GB.

Seeing that I can get a 5060 today locally for less, I'd be very surprised if there selling for $500.

 

 

Is that laptop MSRP for the final system or just the chip? $500 seems reasonble for a whole laptop with the chip, but depends on the rest of the specs.

so far 50 class Nvidia gpus have sucked.

[Haswellx86]

No, I actually like that this exists. Hear me out.

 

This is a good premium replacement for integrated graphics. Those systems which don't need a graphics card have no choice but integrated graphics, and integrated graphics suck. They take the precious memory bandwidth of the CPU, of which I think is insufficiently low in modern x86 systems, and also interfere with the power delivery and all. There are actually many day-to-day tasks which could lag on integrated graphics. You also get the other premium NVIDIA features such as better encoding/decoding, screen capture, etc.

 

Many workstations came out from OEMs with the T400 and T600 when they came out.

[starsmine]

Putting FG in your supported technologies for an 8GB card is just like... yea... I guess.

Do you have any real thoughts? 

 

At $249 it's too expensive, as it should be $149 or less.  Super entry level crap should be priced accordingly.

The original crysis? Even a 3050 could run that probably at several 100 fps...

 

If you mean the "remastered" version then 60fps shouldn't be an issue at all.

 

Really, just going by 3050/3060 cards... those weren't really bad... Pretty good "budget" or lp cards actually...

 

Now that 5050 needing 130w seems a bit odd...

Hey now, it's not a 5030!

Agreed. This should be priced at $129 ~ $149, or something.

The "ASUS Astral RTX 5060" would be like...$250.

At $249 starting price, we could see an Astral / Godlike / Aorus Master version going for $300+ .... which is WIIIILD.

xx50 parts are 720p60/1080p30 parts, at most, and have never been capable of more.

 

xx60 parts are 1080p60

xx70 parts are 1440p60 

xx80 parts are 2160p60

xx90 parts are for 2160p60+ or 1080p240

 

Plus or minus game aging.

 

Like the xx50 parts are a joke.

 

Note passmark only lists "laptop" for all xx50 parts

It'll be as good as a GTX 1080 for twice the price.

Can't compare 1080 is nearly 10 years old

For the price, a 5050 useful utility is in encoding and playing back AV1 content in hardware. Not that it's required, but there you go.

I guess it's an upgrade over the 3050 for the same price at least.

[TetraSky]

Another dead on arrival low end GPU that is way too expensive for what it is.

The xx50 parts of are going to sound like a jet engine taking off if you even give it compute load that a gamer would consider normal.

 

Like no joke, the 1050 in the laptop I have, just to play youtube videos, laptop is just as noisy playing a single youtube video as it is playing FFXIV.

 

As a desktop card, these are often paired with tiny loud fans. Like it is literately junk tier hardware. If someone is paying $250 for a 5050, the thing better be dead silent, yet it's TDP is as much as Ryzen 7 7800.

Oh I didnt even clock the TDP of the desktop card was 130W....
bruh.

That is higher then the 4060 TDP, and that card will probably outperform this card when not using "4xMFG"

Who is this card for?

Overpriced Ewaste confirmed

if only with old prices creating an RTX 1080, but prices are too far gone.

I mean

But I wouldnt because of power/drivers/features.

[williamcll]

How does this compare to the AMD RX 5500XT?
