NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 "Ada" Launches This June

[btarunr]

NVIDIA's mainstream GeForce RTX 4050 "Ada" graphics card, which succeeds the RTX 3050, reportedly launches in June 2023. This could end up being the highest-volume SKU in the RTX 40-series desktop lineup. Team green is planning to launch a new desktop SKU every month leading up to Summer. April will see the company launch the performance-segment RTX 4070, followed by the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 in May, and now we hear about the RTX 4050 in June.

The GeForce RTX 4050 is likely based on a highly cut down version of the 5 nm "AD107" silicon that also powers the RTX 4060 in its maxed out configuration. The AD107, much like the AD106, features a 128-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface. For the RTX 4050, NVIDIA could narrow this down to 96-bit, and give it 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, which is 25% less than the 8 GB of 128-bit GDDR6 memory that's standard for the current-generation RTX 3050. NVIDIA would have worked out the performance numbers, and the RTX 4050 might still end up generationally faster than the RTX 3050 despite this narrower/smaller memory.

Waiting for the RX 7600 to beat the RTX 4050 in value…

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

Cute.

Too bad it will be overpriced as nVidia likes to do.

Yep, they will start at $300 instead of $120-$150 mark.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

3060 performance for $349 get em while they are hot boyz!!!

 

[AusWolf]

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the 4050 ended up being slower than the 3050 with less VRAM while costing more. The things Nvidia gets away with these days are mind-boggling.

y/a/w/n///////

Can someone please wake me up when/if they drop to $100, then perhaps I would consider buying one, until then, it's back to my nappy time

In TPU GPU database power consumption of the near future RTX 4050 is written as 150 watts. Much more than power consumption of RTX 4060(116 watts). Why?

 

[Legacy-ZA]

I need an "interim" GPU for when and if my GPU dies or I am waiting on a new GPU, let's see if nVidia can price it correctly.

 

[MaMoo]

AMD thought it was wise to release the RX 6500 XT with only 4 GB. I don't think it worked out sales-wise.

 

[Denver]

They should cut costs by using 6nm instead of 5nm, although it's difficult could try to keep the price close to $200-250.

Our GPUs are not overpriced, they are just slightly positioned outside the realm of reality.

And remember kids, the more GPUs you buy the more you save

 

[Dirt Chip]

I can`t wait for the 249$ 64bit, 4x PCIE, 4GB RTX4030 and the pinnacle of the pack- the 4010 with 2GB @32bit memory and 2x PCIE for that 149$.
Celebrating competition all year long.

So August/Sept - 4090 Ti?

So August/Sept - 4090 Ti?

Gamers will get ta 4090ti when Nvidia is unable to sell the full dies to the professional market so probably around 6 months prior to the 50 series launch.

Would it really surprise you if it's true?

The 3060 Ti uses just a little more power than the 3060 does when gaming and Max, but uses less or the same in other tested results from W1zzard.

Gaming:
3060 - 181W
3060Ti - 199W

Maximum:
3060 - 179W
3060Ti - 197W

V-Synce 60 Hz:
3060 - 176W
3060Ti - 73W

Idle:
3060 - 13W
3060Ti - 9W

Multi-Monitor:
3060 - 16W
3060Ti - 17W

Video Playback:
3060 - 17W
3060Ti - 17W

Don't you likt entertainment from green side? 300 peso please.

You jest, but I'd genuinely like to see a raytrace capable successor to the GTX 1650, no PCIe cable needed and all. Us budget gamers gotta eat too! Of course it needs to have GTX 1650 prices too...

RT in low end of course will be great, but where will you use that weak rt performance? 2D games with RT, is it a thing?

Blackwell is somewhen in 2024. Prob Q2/Q3 again.. if not Q4.

 

[mechtech]

Be nice if there is a low profile version.

Now that I think of it, all that RT is good for in lower end cards is to spice up screenshots, otherwise you'll be playing a slideshow. The real RTX feature that would be great for lower end GPUs is DLSS support...

 

[TheinsanegamerN]

Honestly, if they can get it under 75 watt, with at least 6GB of VRAM, and its faster then the 3050, then I'm interested. My 560x is getting long in the tooth and the media PC only takes LP cards.

If they cant manage that then I'll pick up a used A2000 off of ebay, those are about 3050 speed.

I would say modern cpu will do better job than low end gpu with rt option. As well you have valid opinion.
