RTX 5060 is the new RTX 5050 and RTX 4060 was the new RTX 3050/GTX 1050 just cut it down or downgrade one or two tiers lower. Instead of increasing the price they just will sell you completely different way weaker/cheaper product aka shrinkflation.

I doubt that's the problem...

200-250 dollar card is definitely viable

64bit moped with tiny die size maybe (ultra low end)..... But GTX 1050 or RTX 3050 was way better than that technically speaking so no it is not possible at all.

If there will be any RTX 5050 then it will be on GT 1030 level (complete garbage)

Better to buy intel arc b580

Or B570 now it's 189€ in EU.

Unfortunately im rocking a ryzen 3 4100 probably no rebar support

Bah that’s a bit inconvenient

Very..

You can ReBAR on practically anything, it's just a skill issue.

What really poisons this hypothetical purchase is how badly Intel dGPUs perform on older CPUs. Too much of a ST bottleneck.

If your market is healthy enough you might consider an RTX 20x0 Super GPU, these ideally should be just north of 100 quid. Or a 3060 12 GB but these are terribly overpriced everywhere I look. 5050 ain't happening so that's that.

4100 is a very slow cpu regardless ... take a look for yourself:
even i3 12100 completely destroys it in both single and multithread performance

AMD Ryzen 3 4100 and Ryzen 5 4500 Review: The Budget CPU Showdown

Zen 2 little, Zen 2 late?

i suggest that you should upgrade it to 5600 .
4100 is more of an office cpu rather than a gaming chip ...

try to search for rtx 2080Ti - i can find them for as low as $250 in my region at second hand market places -
you will get the performance of the rtx 5060 without VRAM limitations .
the only downside is the power consumption and also the age of this card
but otherwise it will give you the best performance for the money .

when it comes to rtx 5050 nvidia basically abandoned this concept and AMD follows ...
5060 given the die size , x8 pcie lanes and VRAM limitations should be rtx 5050 and sell for $250 "street price" at most
but here we are ...

There is always a market for sub-75w, i.e. slot-powered, GPUs. Such a 5050 will probably come with slightly lower clocks, 6gb vram and 96bit memory bus, like the 70w 3050. Mostly for prebuilts or htpc I guess.

What are the chances of it actually being worth buying.

I highly doubt that.

I had early 2023 when I sold my AM4 setup for a few months a ryzen 3 3100 and MSI b550 gaming edge wifi mainboard with 2x32Gib DRAM, later 1x8Gib DRAM.
I'm kinda sure that mainboard supported rebar.

You may check again what mainboard and firmware of your mainboard you use.

Before giving any opinions on upgrades, the user may get rid of the hole setup. ryzen 3 4100 maybe point to very low spec for any components.

What is your budget? If we have a ballpark on how much you can spend we can probably work out a better solution for price/performance to your needs…

What are the chances of it actually being worth buying.

The low profile version might be worth it for ultra compact form factors like my ML-09B or smaller to replace older low profile cards.

Yeah but we already have 5060's announced like this:

Even Minisforum already has announced their gaming ssf system with 2-slot space for 4060 or 5060 card (probably gigabyte).

I could easily buy a ryzen 5 5500 anything above that becomes stupidly expensive

50/50.

No matter what you know up front It's gonna be scrap silicon.
8-12GB GDDR7 in a HHHL card should be the ONLY variation.
Is it really set to be a desktop card? Nah. Would love it in a 2U.

 

[sLowEnd]

What are the chances of it actually being worth buying.

It'll have some niche appeal if it doesn't require a power connector. That niche is pretty underserved at the moment. Common options are currently RTX 3050 6GB (lame), RX6400 (lamer), RTX A2000 (pricey)

A desktop 5050 will only appear if Nvidia makes a mobile 5050 first (and one based on Blackwell, not just rebranded 4050 Ada GPUs with a slightly different clock/core count)

Currently, GB206 silicon is the smallest Blackwell GPU Nvidia makes, and it's already pretty cut-down to 8 PCIe lanes and a 128-bit bus. It serves the 5060Ti with the 5060 being the chopped down version of it, probably using up some of the defective dies. A 5050 based on GB206 would be even more heavily cut-down and when we see GPUs that are extra cut-down like this, it's usually only when yields are terrible (they are not) or else they're intentionally cut down and TDP restricted for professional workstation cards that need to be single-slot, half-height, or whatever.

There's potential for cost savings if Nvidia makes an even smaller GB207 die with around 2560 CUDA cores, 96-bit bus and 6GB/12GB configurations for laptops, but I doubt this will happen because Nvidia have made it very clear that they don't give a shit for the GPU market any more, especially the low-end one.

Honestly, I suspect the 5050 is just a 4050 re-brand.

I also think that Intel Arc B580 192bit, 12GB, 272 mm² is more expensive to produce than a RTX 5060, 128bit, 8GB, 181 mm² although in reality B580 costs 243€ and RTX 5060 costs 306€ and maybe even Intel ARC B570 (189€) is more expensive to produce than a RTX 5060 8GB (306€)

If nvidia would not be so greedy as it is in last 7 years in my opinion prices should be something like this.

RTX 5060 8GB - 249€ (price right now 306€)
RTX 5060 Ti 8GB - 299€ (price right now 360€)
RTX 5060 Ti 16GB - 349€ (price right now 449€)
