NVIDIA, GeForce RTX 50 Under the series continues to prepare for a new desktop video card. Currently, the company has met with card manufacturers on a new SKU for the RTX 5050 model. This card is planned for the desktop unlike variant developed for laptops. Information about the launch date is also becoming clear.
The information that the card can be introduced within July 2025. It can be said that this timing is parallel to the calendar that NVIDIA followed in previous generations. GeForce RTX 5050will technically based a similar architecture with the models in the higher segment. However, it contains significant clipping in terms of hardware.
On the card GB207 GPU will be included and 2560 cuda seeds will work with. This number is quite low compared to the 3840 cores of RTX 5060. 8 GB on the memory side GDDR6 preferred. In the top models GDDR7 Compared to memory, this refers to a limitation in terms of bandwidth.
NVIDIA prefers lower core and memory configuration in the RTX 5050 model
The performance of this new model is expected to determine the difference with other cards in the segment. Compared to the RTX 5060, it is clear that it will be limited in terms of processing power and memory type. However, it can be said that this model targets users sensitive to price-performance ratio. So, a new generation may have been thought for users who want a graphics card experience but do not have a high budget.
With the RTX 5050, NVIDIA is also working on a version of laptops. Some manufacturers have confirmed this model. The release of desktop and mobile versions simultaneously can simplify distribution processes. This approach can be advantageous especially for OEM business partners.
The power consumption of the card is expected to be lower than previous models. 130W TDP The value of the RTX 5060 is below 145W. This is important for both power efficiency and cooling requirements. The RTX 5050 can become more suitable for single fan compact systems.
The comparative table below clearly reveals the basic technical differences between the three models:
| Model | GPU | Cuda kernel | Memory | Memory type | Memory Data Road | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 5060 Ti | GB206-300 | 4608 | 8/16 GB | GDDR7 | 128-bit | 180W |
| RTX 5060 | GB206 | 3840 | 8 GB | GDDR7 | 128-bit | 145W |
| RTX 5050 | GB207 | 2560 | 8 GB | GDDR6 | 128-bit | 130W |
There are rumors that NVIDIA has tested 3 GB memory modules on lower segment cards. This may be a step to reduce costs instead of increasing memory density. However, it is not yet clear whether these changes are directly related to the RTX 5050. The information on this subject is not confirmed and remains unclear.
On the other hand, a new report published by the Chinese -based Benchlife, instead of NVIDIA’s RTX 5050 instead of GDDR6 GDDR7 memory He brought up the possibility of using it again. The confirmation of such a transition in the laptop version suggests that a similar step can be taken in the desktop model. Such a change may significantly affect the total performance balance of the card.
No official explanation has been made yet. However, NVIDIA’s expansion of the product range downwards can allow more users to access new generation cards in 2025. In particular, compared to previous generations, the simplification in memory and nucleus configuration makes it clear who this card will appeal. More details are expected to emerge until the launch.
