GeForce RTX 5050: Nvidia’s 50 class should be available again in the notebook 11 comments
With the GeForce RTX 30, the 50s were still available on desktop PCs, but this was not the case with the GeForce RTX 40. There was the GeForce RTX 4050 laptop GPU (test) for notebooks. This seems to be repeated with the GeForce RTX 50. It is still doubtful whether the GeForce RTX 5050 laptop GPU will get more memory again.
GeForce RTX 5050 laptop GPU with 8 GB?
The GeForce RTX 5050 laptop GPU, which has not yet been named by Nvidia, has reportedly been revealed by South Korean online store Coupang, which lists a presumably new generation of the ultra-thin and very light LG gram Pro 16 (IA).
Nvidia itself only announced the GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU, the RTX 5080 laptop GPU, the RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU, and the RTX 5070 laptop GPU at CES. Three of the four models receive more memory than their immediate predecessor, with only the RTX 5070 laptop GPU getting zero performance.
The RTX 5050 laptop GPU is also expected to increase: from 6 GB to 8 GB. In the latest generation, Nvidia went from 4 GB (3050 (Ti) laptop GPU) to 6 GB (4050 laptop GPU).
At that time, the 50 with 6 GB still had a disadvantage compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 and 4060 laptop GPUs, which would no longer be the case in this generation with the 8 GB confirmed for the RTX 5070 laptop GPU. It still seems questionable whether the RTX 5050 will actually get 8GB, especially since it’s rumored to rely on an even smaller GPU (GB207), which could also have lightened the memory interface.
March GeForce RTX 50 Laptop GPU
It will be a few weeks before the new GeForce RTX 50 laptop GPUs go on sale. “March 2025” is the official date for the three major laptop GPU models GeForce RTX 5090, 5080 and 5070 Ti, followed by the RTX 5070 in Q2.
