NVIDIA is preparing entry-level & mainstream options for gamers with its upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5050 series graphics cards.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 & RTX 5050 8 GB GPUs To Enter The Entry-Level Gaming Markets
A few days ago, we reported the launch plan of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, which will come in 16 GB and 8 GB flavors. Now, we have some new information on more entry-level products such as the GeForce RTX 5060 and the GeForce RTX 5050.
As per our information, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 will use the "PG152 SKU 25" PCB, and will come equipped with a maximum of 8 GB memory. The RTX 5050 will have a rated TBP of 145W and is said to launch in April. Do keep in mind that the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB models will also launch in April, but during the first half, while the RTX 5060 8 GB cards will most likely arrive in the second half of April.
But there's more: NVIDIA is also said to be preparing the GeForce RTX 5050, which is going to be positioned in the entry-level price segment. If the RTX 5060 retails for around $299 US, then we can expect the RTX 5050 to end up somewhere between the $199-$249 US price tag. This card will be positioned against the Intel Arc B580, which is a strong contender in this segment, while future AMD offerings may also spice things up in the sub-$300 US market.
Based on what we have seen, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 features 8 GB of memory and will be rated at a TBP of 145W. This information is still a bit early, but the card is said to be rated at a TBP of 135W, which is 10W lower than the RTX 5060 8 GB. There's no information on the specific GPU or PCB yet, but we will make sure to keep you updated. As for the launch, the RTX 5050 is also aiming for an April release plan and may come in either Non-Ti or Ti branding.
Well-known insider, MEGAsizeGPU, also posted about the launch plan of the GeForce RTX 5060 series and states that while the announcement will take place in about 10 days, the actual launch will be scheduled for next month.
