The new GeForce RTX 5050 GPU includes Nvidia's Blackwell CUDA cores and 8GB of video RAM. It lies underneath the RTX 5060 GPU and supports ray tracing, Nvidia Reflex, and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation (MFG).
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 Price & Availability
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 price begins at $249 (approximately Rs. 21,400), and the GPU will be marketed by a number of OEMs, including Asus, Colorful, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Inno3D, MSI, Palit, PNY, and Zotac. These GPUs will be available for purchase around the second half of July.
