Nvidia's RTX 5050, expected to be the company's most affordable GPU this generation, is reportedly launching in July, claims VideoCardz. While the GPU's specifications leaked a while back, we now have a clearer idea of its release date. While other details such as pricing and performance have not been mentioned, it is expected that this GPU will fall into the sub-$300 price bracket.
After the contentious launch of the RTX 5060, Nvidia is apparently looking to wrap up its Blackwell portfolio next month with the RTX 5050. Since we never got to see a 50-class GPU last generation, the RTX 5050 serves as a true successor to the RTX 3050 from Ampere. However, while the G106 die on the RTX 3050 measured 276mm^2, GB207 for the RTX 5050 will be smaller than GB206, which spans 181mm^2.
