RTX 5050 laptop GPU clock speeds, TGP confirmed by Acer

Nvidia is said to expand its lineup of laptop GPUs with an entry-level option. The RTX 5050, while a mystery in the desktop space, has seen a few leaks for its mobile version. The latest piece of information comes directly from Acer so it’s more credible than past leaks and it confirms the TGP (total graphics power) and clock speeds of different variants of the laptop RTX 5050.

Acer is planning on incorporating the entry-level RTX 5050, a successor to the RTX 4050, in its Nitro series of Predator gaming laptops. The official laptop GPU power specifications page on the Acer website lists several different configurations of the RTX 5050 ranging from a 50W TGP to a 100W TGP model. 

At the low-end, the Acer Nitro V 14 AI will have a version with the RTX 5050 clocked at 1,500 MHz with a stock 50W TGP going up to 60W with dynamic boost. Next in line is the Acer Nitro V 15 with a 60W stock TGP, 1,902 MHz clock speed, and 75W max TGP. The fastest and most power-hungry variant will be present in the Acer Nitro 16 AI and the Acer Nitro 18 AI, with 2,550 MHz clock speeds, 100W TGP, and 115W max TGP. 

Notably, these RTX 5050 variants will be used in the same chassis that house more powerful GPUs, in some cases up to the RTX 5070 Ti.

Acer has not shared a launch date for these RTX 5050 powered laptops and Nvidia has not revealed any information about the GPU either. Past leaks have hinted at 8 GB VRAM and it is suspected that the laptop GPUs will feature GDDR7 memory. It is also believed that the desktop counterparts will stick with GDDR6 memory to create a gap between the RTX 5060 GPUs and the entry-level options.
