Overview
The desktop GeForce RTX 5050 is the entry point to NVIDIA's RTX 50 series: a Blackwell GB207 chip with 2,560 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, for 320 GB/s. It supports DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and targets 1080p at medium to high settings.
NVIDIA rates it at 130W total graphics power with a 550W power supply and one 8-pin connector. The pictured ASUS Dual RTX 5050 OC is a compact two-fan, two-slot card measuring 203 x 120.2 x 40 mm, boosting to 2,647 MHz (2,677 MHz in OC mode) against NVIDIA's 2.57 GHz reference, so it fits small cases that longer cards will not.
Reviews measured the RTX 5060 just over 30% faster, so the 5050 makes sense when budget or case size rules out the bigger card. It uses GDDR6 rather than GDDR7, and its 8GB holds 7B to 8B language models at 4-bit for light local AI work.

Questions and answers
Still unsure? Visit the help center or message us.
What power supply does the RTX 5050 need?
NVIDIA rates it at 130W and recommends a 550W power supply. The pictured ASUS Dual takes one 8-pin connector.
Will the RTX 5050 fit a small case?
The pictured ASUS Dual is 203 mm long and two slots thick, which fits most compact cases. Other partner models can be longer, so tell us your case if space is tight and we will confirm the fit.
RTX 5050 or RTX 5060?
Reviews measured the RTX 5060 just over 30% faster, and it has faster GDDR7 memory. Pick the 5050 when the budget is fixed or the case is too small for a longer card.
Which local AI models fit in 8GB of VRAM?
Roughly, 7B to 8B models at 4-bit with a modest context window. 12B to 14B models at 4-bit need about 8 to 9GB before context, so they spill into system memory and slow down.
Which brand of RTX 5050 will I receive?
RTX 5050 cards are partner designs, and we picture the ASUS Dual RTX 5050 OC. The specific board partner and model can vary with supply, and we confirm the exact model with you before shipping.
