Nvidia RTX 5050 laptop GPU specs leak — here's the first laptops getting it
Nvidia's RTX 5050 GPU is becoming more of a reality, as the rumored graphics card has shown up once again — this time in upcoming Acer gaming laptops. In Acer's GPU spec sheet for gaming laptops in 2025, the company lists several Acer Nitro systems with multiple RTX 50-series GPUs, from an RTX 5070 Ti to an RTX 5060. However, the listings also include RTX 5050 mobile graphics cards, including the TGP (Total Graphics Power) and clock speeds. According to the sheet, the RTX 5050 laptop GPU will offer up to 100W TGP (115W max graphics power) along with up to 2,550MHz clock speeds (2,650MHz with PredatorSense boost OC). However, as VideoCardz notes, there are different configurations showing various specs. Currently, the RTX 5050 listings have been taken down on Acer's sheet, meaning these configurations may not be final — so take this all in with a pinch of salt. That said, if accurate, these are the gaming laptops equipped with an RTX 5050 we can expect: Other Nitro laptops with more RTX 5050 GPU configurations were also spotted, from 50W TGP (60W max) with 1,500MHz (up to 1,600MHz) clock speeds to 80W TGP (95W max) with 2,212MHz (up to 2,650MHz) clock speeds. This doesn't seem like much, especially when compared to the might of RTX 5090 gaming laptops, but we could see DLSS 4 put to good use.

However, previous Lenovo Legion 5 and Lenovo LOQ 15 leaks sporting RTX 5050 laptop GPUs revealed the graphics card would deliver 8GB GDDR7 VRAM, meaning its graphics memory is up to speed with the rest of the RTX 50-series family (and similar to the RTX 5060 and the lower-end RTX 5060 Ti with 8GB VRAM.). The laptop listings have since been taken down, and there's no word on launch dates or pricing. Since Nvidia has yet to officially announce its RTX 5050 GPU, there's no telling when the latest graphics card will arrive — and whether there will be a desktop variant. If Team Green does deliver an RTX 5050, expect budget-friendly gaming performance bolstered by DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Gen. It aims to replace RTX 4050 gaming laptops, and considering the performance bumps we've seen in RTX 5060 gaming laptops, Nvidia's low-end graphics card could benefit from Nvidia's AI trickery — especially if prices are pocket-friendly. It may not be long until we learn all we need to know about Nvidia's RTX 5050 GPUs (in gaming laptops and possible desktops), but in the meantime, check out our RTX 5060 Ti review to see how DLSS 4 shines.

RTX 5060: Nvidia slammed online for releasing card with just 8GB VRAM, no reviews
Nvidia has officially launched the GeForce RTX 5060, the latest addition to its RTX 50-series graphics cards, priced at $299. The release, however, has drawn scrutiny due to both its technical specifications and the quiet manner in which the company is handling the rollout. The RTX 5060 features 8GB of GDDR7 video memory and is reported to deliver around a 20% performance improvement over its predecessor, the RTX 4060, in conventional gaming scenarios. GeForce RTX 5060 GPUs are out now from our add-in-card partners, powering your favorite games at 100+ frames. To celebrate we will spotlight partner cards and games over the coming days giving you multiple chances to WIN... Comment #GeForceRTX5060 for a chance to WIN the… — NVIDIA GeForce (@NVIDIAGeForce) May 19, 2025 In titles that support DLSS 4, the card is expected to perform significantly better, thanks to the enhanced AI frame-generation capabilities of the RTX 50-series. Despite these improvements, Nvidia's choice to limit the memory capacity to 8GB has raised eyebrows. Industry analysts and reviewers note that in 2025, such a VRAM allocation may be inadequate for many modern gaming titles, potentially resulting in performance issues such as stuttering, crashes, and reduced texture quality. The concerns are not purely theoretical. In earlier testing of the similarly specced RTX 5060 Ti 8GB model, reviewers found that the card struggled in comparison to competitors with higher memory capacity, such as Intel's Arc B580, which offers 12GB of VRAM and outperformed Nvidia's card in various benchmarks. What has further fuelled scepticism is Nvidia's decision not to provide early access drivers or review units of the RTX 5060 to the press ahead of launch. This means no independent performance reviews were available at the time the product hit store shelves. This move is highly unusual for a major GPU release and coincides with the opening week of Computex, potentially limiting coverage as many hardware reviewers are attending the industry event in Taipei. Many users on X have speculated whether this means Nvidia was 'burying' RTX 5060. Nvidia: "We're not hiding the RTX 5060, we're very proud of it and gamers will love it" ...also Nvidia: "We're going to launch the RTX 5060 on May 19th during Computex, and although reviewers have cards right now we won't be releasing the driver until they go on sale" — Hardware Unboxed (@HardwareUnboxed) May 8, 2025 The RTX 5060 will be so bad that even scalpers are not going to bother with it. #NVIDIA — 𝓛𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓛𝓮𝓰𝓪𝓬𝔂 (@LatinLegacy) May 18, 2025 Why would I down grade from an RTX 4080 super with 16GB of GDDR6X for a card with half the V-Ram? Any more you shouldn't buy anything with less than 16GB, this is after all 2025. — Truck Driver Driscoll (@boomerang_32) May 20, 2025 The RTX 5060's launch date was also only briefly mentioned earlier this month in a company blog post primarily focused on other announcements, with the new GPU receiving just two sentences at the very end of a lengthy update. Nvidia has not publicly addressed the absence of review samples or early drivers. A company spokesperson previously stated that the 8GB memory decision was made to keep the card's cost within a competitive range. While the RTX 5060 may still appeal to esports players or those gaming at 1080p, experts advise potential buyers to wait for independent reviews before making a purchase. 'Lack of transparency around this launch is concerning,' said one industry analyst. 'If Nvidia isn't confident enough to let reviewers test it ahead of release, that should give buyers pause.' Reviews are expected to surface in the coming days as units become available and journalists return from Computex.

Nvidia's RTX 5050 is real? Gaming laptop listings show off new GPU with shocking price tag
Nvidia's RTX 5060 is set to launch just in time for Computex 2025, but there may be another GPU in the cards, as leaked gaming laptop listings have shown RTX 5050 graphics cards. The first laptops with an RTX 5050 laptop GPU have popped up at UK retailer Laptops Direct, including in a Lenovo Legion 5 and a Lenovo LOQ 15. According to the listings, the RTX 5050 will arrive with 8GB of video memory, just like the upcoming RTX 5060 and the lower-end RTX 5060 Ti with 8GB VRAM. There have been rumblings of Nvidia's lower-end GPU since Nvidia's announcement of its latest RTX 50-series cards back in January at CES, as an RTX 5050 laptop GPU was spotted in an LG Gram 2025. Now, more laptops have appeared, and it's looking likely they may be announced alongside the launch of the RTX 5060 this May. While the listings only show the amount of video memory the RTX 5050 laptops GPU is expected to have, credible leaker momomo_us on X spotted that it will come with GDDR7 memory. This means it will match the rest of the RTX 50-series lineup with the same graphics memory, although previous rumors showed the GPU having GDDR6 — like the RTX 40-series. 13, 2025 Originally, the listings were available to purchase, but this option has now been taken down at the retailer. However, the Lenovo Legion 5 is still shown, with other specs including an Intel Core i7 13650HX, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SDD and even Wi-Fi 7. It seems Nvidia still has another graphics card up its sleeve, but we'll have to wait and see when the RTX 5050 gets an official announcement, and whether there will be a desktop version. If the listings are accurate, however, these entry-level gaming laptops won't come cheap. We've known that anything with an RTX 50-series come with a sky-high price tag, as with the Asus ROG Strix Scar ($4,499) and HP Omen Max 16 ($4,299) — both fitted with an RTX 5090. What's worse, Nvidia GPUs are looking to get a 10% price hike. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. With the RTX 5050-equipped Lenovo gaming laptops shown, it appears these will come with a higher-than-expected price, too. While prices are currently taken down, VideoCardz was able to get prices for the notebooks. The Lenovo Legion 5 comes in at £1,349 (around $1,800), while the Lenovo LOQ 15 is priced at £1,149 (around $1,530). To put that into perspective, gaming laptops with an RTX 5060 are set to priced from $1,099 / £1,099. Already, RTX 5050 gaming laptops are coming with pretty shocking price tags. These could just be placeholder prices, seeing as the RTX 5050 laptop GPU is yet to be officially announced, but if these are the prices to expect, then it may seem worth grabbing a gaming laptop with something higher. Even this MSI Katana 17 with an RTX 5070 is priced at $1,299.
