MSI posted its GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card on Amazon before the official release date. The computer parts maker listed the Gaming RTX 5050 8G Shadow 2X OC model for July 1 delivery. NVIDIA had told customers the graphics card would arrive during late July. The Amazon page shows a price of $279 for the enhanced version. This creates confusion about when people can actually buy the new graphics card.

NVIDIA revealed the RTX 5050 on June 24 and promised a retail launch several weeks later. Reports suggest the company ordered its manufacturing partners to release desktop versions on July 1 for Chinese markets. The MSI listing suggests other regions might also receive early access to the graphics card. Major companies like GIGABYTE, ASUS and ZOTAC likely prepared their versions for the same timeline. Supply chain managers may struggle to meet demand with such short notice.

The MSI graphics card costs $30 more than the standard model because it runs faster speeds. Factory modifications boost the processor to 2617 MHz under extreme settings and 2602 MHz during normal use. The standard design operates at 2570 MHz maximum speed. The card features 8 gigabytes of GDDR6 memory and connects through a 128-bit pathway. Display options feature three DP 2.1a ports and one HDMI 2.1b connection.
