RTX 5050 desktop graphics card slated for a July launch with GDDR7 modules

An earlier leak stated Nvidia planned to show off the GeForce RTX 5050 desktop sometime at the end of April. That clearly didn't happen, presumably due to production delays and the company's general focus on AI. But, the entry-level graphics card is still on track for a July launch.

Videocardz reached out to AIBs who stated the RTX 5050 is set to arrive in the coming weeks. Unlike the RTX 5060 that got some air time at Computex 2025, the RTX 5050 will likely be announced on the down-low via a press release. Its laptop variant has also been spotted online multiple times, but there's no word about when it will launch.

The GeForce RTX 5050 is tipped to feature a GB207-300 GPU with 2,560 CUDA cores and a TGP of 130 Watts. Initially, it was speculated that the graphics card would use 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM on a 128-bit bus, but Benchlife now states Nvidia will use GDDR7 modules due to Intel and AMD buying up the GDDR6 VRAM supply.

Its cost remains unknown, but a ~$200 price tag seems plausible given it is an entry-level GPU. With only some specs at hand, it is hard to zero-in on its performance, but we can expect it to trade blows with a RTX 4060 or Intel Arc B580.
