NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5050 To Be The First RTX Blackwell GPU To Feature GDDR6 Memory; Likely Being a Budget-Fri

For those still living under a rock, a big change with NVIDIA's RTX 50 lineup was the use of the advanced GDDR7 memory, which offered enhanced performance, but with a cost of higher pricing. Despite being a newer standard, AMD decided not to employ the memory type with its RX 9070 GPUs, in an attempt to keep prices under control, and apparently, this has worked out for them pretty well, as the perf/$ values on the Radeon RX 9070 XT are simply phenomenal. With the RTX 5050, NVIDIA might target something similar, but that is yet to be seen.

Diving into the RTX 5050's rumored specifications, it will feature 8 GB GDDR6 of memory and be rated at a TBP of 135W. Moreover, the GPU is said to retail somewhere between the $199-$249 US price tag and will be positioned against the Intel Arc B580. On AMD's side, we could expect the GPU to tackle the rumored RX 9050 lineup, and given that NVIDIA had skipped the 50-class GPU with Ada Lovelace, we expect the release to be a decent one.

NVIDIA's RTX 5050 is said to be the first RTX Blackwell GPU to debut with GDDR6 memory, likely being a more value-for-money option.

 

Slower memory would be alright if they would give enough of it....

Those specs need to be no more than $199 but I wouldn't bother until it's $150 or less.
