NVIDIA plans to launch a budget-friendly graphics card called the GeForce RTX 5050 as part of their "Blackwell" series. They might also release an RTX 5050 Ti that sits between this card and the upcoming RTX 5060. These new cards would fill a gap left open during the RTX 40-series "Ada" generation, which skipped this price range completely. Intel recently took advantage of this missing segment by releasing their Arc B580 card, which offers great value under $300.

Both NVIDIA cards will feature 8GB of memory, though this falls short of Intel's B580 with its 12GB. The cards should run at around 135 watts of power consumption. NVIDIA designed these graphics cards specifically for gaming at 1080p resolution with medium to high settings. Questions remain about whether these cards will include the Multi Frame Generation feature since MFG can't magically make unplayable games smooth. However, NVIDIA might include DLSS 4 with transformer upscaling or perhaps single frame generation instead.

NVIDIA wants to price these cards competitively, aiming for $199 for the RTX 5050 and $249 for the RTX 5050 Ti. According to Wccftech, gamers can expect these new graphics cards to hit stores during the second half of April 2025. NVIDIA plans to release them after launching the more powerful RTX 5060 model. These budget options should help NVIDIA compete against Intel's recent push into affordable gaming hardware.
