Nvidia highlights collaboration with major Indian OEMs and PC builders, showcases AI and gaming with the RTX 5050 and other Blackwell GPUs at "Future of AI" event
Nvidia's RTX 50 Blackwell lineup is now complete with the introduction of the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop and RTX 5050 desktop GPUs. Recently, the company held a "Future of AI" event in New Delhi, India to heralding the arrival of these and other RTX 50 series GPUs in the country.
As a quick recap, the $249 MSRP RTX 5050 is pegged as the successor to the RTX 3050 and is based on the GB207 GPU with 2,560 CUDA cores, 80 tensor cores, and 20 ray tracing (RT) cores. It offers a 128-bit 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM and is rated at a 130 W TGP. The laptop version of this GPU offers largely similar specifications, except that it uses 128-bit 8 GB GDDR7 VRAM and has its TGP constrained to 50 W.
Nvidia's Jeff Yen, Director of Technical Marketing, APAC, and John Gillooly, Senior Technical Marketing Manager, APAC South, dwelt on the technical aspects of the Blackwell architecture and how the RTX 50 GPUs right from the entry-level RTX 5050 to the flagship RTX 5090 behemoth benefit from DLSS 4, multi-frame generation, RTX Neural Shaders, and Reflex 2 technologies.
Apart from a host of pre-built desktops from Ant PC, The MVP, EliteHubs, and Vishal Peripherals, we were also shown new laptop designs that were recently launched in the Indian market including:
- Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 and HP Omen Max with RTX 5080 Laptop GPU
- MSI Vector 16 HX AI with RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU
- HP Victus 15 with RTX 5060 Laptop GPU
- Asus TUF Gaming A15 with RTX 4070 Laptop GPU
- MSI Crosshair HX 16 AI with RTX 4070 Laptop GPU
We have previously tested some of these configurations and hope to review the others and more soon.
Nvidia also had some cool demos on display, particularly with AI and ML workflows. The company demonstrated utilities such as ChatRTX, AnythingLLM, and AI Workbench accelerated by Tensor cores in the RTX Blackwell GPUs.
