Nvidia surprise-launches the GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card, starting at $249 for what's basically a slower RTX 4060 with DLSS 4

In a move that caught us somewhat off guard, Nvidia has just announced its series of GeForce RTX 5050 GPUs for laptops and desktop graphics cards. The former was certainly expected, and while the latter has been rumoured for a while, we had expected more of a heads-up about it.

Anyway, so what have we got? Well, something that has fewer CUDA cores than an RTX 4060, but thanks to higher clock speeds all around, Nvidia says the RTX 5050 is up to 60% faster than an RTX 3050 in traditional rasterization, and up to four times faster when using the full DLSS 4 suite.
