This information has been shared by MEGAsizeGPU, a trusted source known for accurate leaks regarding NVIDIA products. The new RTX 5050 model will be an upgraded version, featuring a slight increase in memory capacity.

New product: RTX5050 9GB GDDR7 96BitNV knows they can give you a 5050/5060 128-bit 12G with the new 3G GDDR7 dies. But no, you got a 5050 9G💀

The upcoming GeForce RTX 5050 will boast 9 GB of GDDR7 memory, up from the existing model’s 8 GB, but with a difference in architecture—featuring a 96-bit memory interface instead of the 128-bit found in its predecessor.

While the current model utilizes 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory dies with a bandwidth of 320 GB/s, the new RTX 5050 will take advantage of 28 Gbps GDDR7 memory dies, resulting in a total bandwidth of 336 GB/s. This provides a modest 5% increase in bandwidth along with 12.5% more VRAM compared to the existing version.

In terms of core specifications, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 9 GB is expected to retain the same core specs as its predecessor. It will utilize the GB207 GPU, part of the Blackwell gaming architecture, featuring 2560 cores—identical to the RTX 3050. It’s noteworthy that we do not anticipate any changes to its TDP of 130W.

RTX5060 GB205 incomingNV has jammed AIC with 5060Ti 8G, and later realized Oh shit, no GB206 for 5060. And here comes the solution: 5060 based on GB205. Poor AICs need to make a new 5060 PCB design to house the GB205. Basically making a 5070 PCB with an 8-pin connector.

In addition to the RTX 5050, there are indications that NVIDIA will also manufacture GeForce RTX 5060 GPUs using GB205 dies. The demand for the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB has taken precedence over the 16 GB variant, resulting in a shortage of GB206 GPUs. To address this gap, NVIDIA appears to be providing AICs with defective GB205 dies, leading to new PCB designs that accommodate these entry-level graphics cards while also supporting standard 8-pin connectors.
