NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050

8 GB GDDR6 · 128-bit · 2,560 cores

The GeForce RTX 5050 is NVIDIA's entry-level Blackwell desktop GPU, launched on 1 July 2025 at 249 USD. It is the only desktop RTX 50-series card to use GDDR6 memory, while the laptop RTX 5050 uses GDDR7. There is no Founders Edition, so it is sold only through board partners. Aimed at 1080p gaming, it supports the full DLSS 4 feature set including Multi Frame Generation.
