NVIDIA has officially unveiled the GeForce RTX 5050, the latest addition to its RTX 50-series lineup. This entry-level GPU is based on the new Blackwell architecture and features 2560 CUDA cores, 8GB GDDR6 memory, and support for DLSS 4. So, without further ado, let’s go through the details of the NVIDIA RTX 5050, including its specifications and official price in Nepal.

NVIDIA RTX 5050 Overview:

Processor and Memory

The GeForce RTX 5050 is built on Nvidia’s latest Blackwell architecture and uses the GB207 GPU die. It features 2560 CUDA cores, which is about two-thirds of what the RTX 5060 offers. The card has a base clock speed of 2.31GHz and can boost up to 2.57GHz, and has a max TGP of 130W.

In terms of memory, the RTX 5050 comes with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 128-bit memory interface. It lacks the newer GDDR7 memory seen in other 50-series GPUs, but the inclusion of 8GB might be sufficient for most modern titles at Full HD resolution. Other than this, the RTX 5050 has 5th Generation Tensor cores with up to 421 TOPS of AI performance.

Also, there is no Founders Edition model from Nvidia.

Gaming performance

Nvidia claims that the GeForce RTX 5050 delivers up to 60% better and faster performance compared to the RTX 3050. While official benchmarks are limited, early figures suggest that it performs roughly on par with the RTX 4060 in some titles. The card supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, helping improve frame rates in supported games. NVIDIA’s “Reflex” technology to minimize input latency is also present here.
