Nvidia Reportedly Preps RTX 5050 With 9GB GDDR7 on a 96-Bit Bus

Multiple reports tie the unannounced SKU to GDDR6 supply strain.

Overview

  • Leaker MEGAsizeGPU and several outlets report a 9GB RTX 5050 using 3GB GDDR7 modules at 28 Gbps on a 96-bit interface, delivering about 336 GB/s and modest gains over the 8GB model.
  • The card is said to keep the GB207 GPU with 2,560 CUDA cores and roughly a 130W board power, and Nvidia has not confirmed the product.
  • Coverage frames the change as a memory-driven tweak rather than a broader refresh, and notes the RTX 5050 is largely targeted at OEM and entry-level systems.
  • Separate reports say Nvidia may build upcoming RTX 5060 boards from cut-down GB205 dies, pushing partners to revise PCBs and use standard 8‑pin power connectors.
  • Benchlife, cited by Wccftech, suggests a possible Computex (June 2–5) debut for the 9GB model, though timing remains unconfirmed and some outlets emphasize ongoing supply constraints shaping these plans.
