I only bought one so in 10 years i can hand it down to gran children. Keep out of ewaste for now.
Do you hate your grandkids that much?
Sood be fine for Minecraft
If you are happy gaming on old titles forever this is fine
Nothing new worth playing…
Dune Awakening looks nice
Im looking at a basic racing rig (got a G27 for nothing). Thinking of grabbing a cheap old gaming laptop (so I can pack it away easy) with a GTX1080, and chucking Arsetto Corsa and Richard Burns Rally - Rally sim fans on it
Will a 1080 be ok. Don't need anything mind blowing. Will be on a 49" screen.
Looked it up… but no idea what this means really..looks like 100FPS. Is that good? Pretty sure the TV is 60hz. So I guess the TV can't even do 100 FPS

What do you guys think?
looks fine 100fps u can compete easy in AC. GTX1080 is still a beast
I could be wrong, but at this point I'm fairly certain half of you would say the same thing if it was $200. It's become obsessional principality.
Some turn up there nose at any budget product but I reckon it’s not so much a bad product just a bad price due to its poor value
200 dollars would be amazing for a low budget (remember those?) esports machine that you could pair with something like 5700x for under 500 dollars total. At 350 it's too close to other gpus. A 9060xt (8gb) with no sale is at 450 and it's around 40-45% faster. A base 5060 is 30% faster. Both of these gpus match/beat the ps5 pro.
You cant going to get a case, ram, mobo, psu 5700X and 5050 for $500.
@Franc-T: 5050 (the hypothetical $200 one), 5700x ($100 off aliexpress), 40 bucks for any brand 16gb 3200c16 ram, some a520 name brand mobo off aliexpress 60 bucks. Free case off FB marketplace, it'll look like something from 20 years ago but it'll do the job, not like a warranty is needed for a case.
100 bucks leftover for a basic bronze psu+cpu cooler+small ssd (256/500gb). Bonus points if you can get cashback working on any of these.
It's kinda the bare minimum no frills budget pc but it's certainly possible.
@JerraJones: Yes but thats not a real price, not sure what you originally said about the $500 though as you edited to update your comment though it doesnt matter.
@Franc-T: Maybe read the comment I was replying to originally further up that talked about a possible scenario where the 5050 was 200 dollars.
I did not edit my comments here. Don't blame me if you can't read the context of a conversation and just barge in midway instead.
Need at least a 5060TI to match the ps5 pro according to digital foundry.
$200 video cards is a myth.
read some reviews from HUB LTT gamers nexus
bloody hilarious
basically jensen took a giant shit in his hand and shoved it in your face and expects you to say 'thank you' and pay $350 for the privilege
yeh should be grateful that an AI GPU company is still making gaming GPU products.
yesssir
we should give thanks that a $3 tril company even notices gaemerz
$4tril :) happy Jensen day (that's everyday)
I’m up 80% after only owning Nvidia stock for a few months. It’s like getting a free 5090
Have you said thank you?
And for just a couple bucks more you can grab a 7YO Turing card that'll run rings around this POS.
i think i'd rather pay $350 for a 3060 12gb?
if they are even available at that price???
There's a single listing for one on eBay for $350.
The rest are $400 all the way to $1200.
It’s 2025.
No one should feel the need to shit in their hand anymore.
This isn’t COVID…
And still like his jacket!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for dumping on Nvidia, but:
- Gamers Nexus didn't review the 5050, their blast was about Nvidia's deceitful marketing
- HUB did review the 5050, say its on par with the RX 7600 @ 1080p (Their charts show it withing spitting distance of the B580, RX 7600 XT & 4060 @1080p).
- LTT - influencers, not reviewers.
- @ $349 the 5050 is $40 less than the RX 7600, $90 less than the B580, $100 less than the 4060, $213 less than the RX 7600 XT (current PGrid prices)Lower end GPUs suit most gamers:
- more than 50% of gamers on Steam play at 1080p: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw…
- most gamers are not playing latest release AAA titles that need a high end GPU: https://steamdb.info/charts/The 5050 is a good deal @ $349 if you don't need anything better. Also expect it will drop to $299 in Oct/Nov.
LTT - influencers, not reviewers.
Disagree with this. While the core component of their content is entertainment, they do take product reviews seriously. Especially more recently with the “LTT labs” that do some thorough testing to back up their conclusions
at this pricepoint what are the other options?
Save an extra $100 and get an Intel B580, or take your chances with used.
Where can I buy a B580 for $249?
they mean save up an extra $100
B850 looks like a solid choice, Intel seem to be doing well with updates. Plus 12gb of vram
I'd take the B570 at this price point, but realistically if you can save another $100 or $150 then you'll get a LOT better options.
Not sure anyone should buy this. Better off with an older 12GB 3060 for $80-$100 more.
I thought this and bout a used one to find it not working and seller deleted their account so cannot return. Lesson learned so i bought this 5050.
But a 5050 is faster than a 3060?
It depends on the workload. 3060 has more CUDA cores and bandwidth but they’re older.
Likely the 3060 will probably edge out in most cases except where RTX 5000 features specifically help like FP4 supportCan you link benchmarks where a 3060 is faster? A 5050 should beat it in every game except those where it's RAM limited and in those scenarios you're probably not getting 60fps anyway.
you can't compare frame generation result vs non-frame generation result.
sure it's a good to have, basically the GPU will "AI imagine" frames between 2 real calculated frames, but it doesn't always work (e.g. in competitive scene)
the ACTUAL comparison should be:
better raw performance (3060) vs worse raw performance + less VRAM + new frame-gen tech. (5050)
Can you link a review that shows the 3060 has better raw performance?
I just tested to a 3060ti vs 5050 in Furmark 1920x1080 and the 5050 just beats the 3060ti in this test 128 FPS to 129FPS, so a 3060 would be slower.
I dont know but I just test things and see a result and dont see 3060 raw performance as better?
This would have been an OK MSRP. Is legitimately a 1440p card over time due to compression techniques yet to surface and prudent settings choices for now, but it needs to get cheaper.
Certainly helps pull down any remaining 4060 stock to a good level as well.
OMG, what's next.. 5040 back all the way to TNT 2 LOL
If there is an economical chip and board layout that they can do, NVIDIA will do it, but as you can see it's difficult to scale costs down further than the 5060 right now.
In time, this will be probably $100-$150 cheaper, and sold for 2-3 generations as entry level 1440p RT.
That is crazy to expect a 5050 to be able to run 1440p RT in 2-3 years, even them selling this GPU in 2-3 years is extremely unlikely.
Really? Have you seen people buy a 4050 desktop card?
3050 was sold for 2 gens. Wafer and board costs aren't getting cheaper next gen, just holding a bit. 6050 could be built of a chip maxing out at 48 SMs, and maybe can scrape back to this sort of price in the same time frame. There's a market for the 5050 as NVIDIA and other customers ditch 4nm/5nm.
@jasswolf: 3050 was only released last year, for all we know Nvidia still had a contract with Samsung so instead of porting 40 series they just pumped out a low end chip.
@BROKENKEYBOARD: You're thinking of the 70W GA107 version: the original desktop 3050 was released in 2022.
@BROKENKEYBOARD: They've been producing some variation of GA106 and GA107 for 4 years, probably only stopping to give space for Switch 2 production.
Out of curiosity, why do you think neural compression is going to be a decent feature and not half baked (like RT was when launched) or subjectively unusable by many like frame gen due to latency?
It seems promising but I think the likelihood it will work well and do so in early iterations is very low based on Nvidia's history with features.
Would be great to be proven wrong and have it be a game changer a la dlss but not holding my breath.
It's lightweight, so latency isn't the issue, it's simply a case of the amount of work the cores/units have to do for an entire scene. The training is game specific, so can't really be half-baked.
Companies will latch on due to server bandwidth savings.
The crazy part is that this is the price of the 3060 and 4060. So yeah, the 50 series is better than last gen's 60, but it's the same fps per dollar.
And it doesn't even have the usual benefit of 75w tdp of the 50 series, because (profanity) you, that's why.
Neither did the 3050 at first: was a GA106 variant on a 128-bit bus sold for $249 USD.
In time this will get cheaper, and then an even cheaper 75 W variant will appear with 9 GB VRAM.
We hated the 3050 as well lol
Was pretty solid once it got close to $150 USD, just needed to happen sooner. Now with a wiser and thriftier consumer base - as well as more direct competition from AMD and Intel - that's happening quicker than last gen despite the AI rush, and certainly quicker than the crypto boom afflicting the 30 series.
Enterprise Rubin should get 9-10 months head start next year, and then we get RTX 60 vs RDNA5/UDNA vs Celestial in 2027, where I suspect at least 2 will be showing off frame extrapolation tech.
If you are in Queensland it's better value to buy 349 cans of liquid death, or better yet, nothing at all
When every review of a product says it's bad then it's probably pretty crap. B580 is the sensible (new) budget option, not this absolute trash.
If youre spending this much and not looking at a 9060xt 16gb youre crazy
I know its more. But just save up more for the love of all thats holy
I bought a RTX 4060 Ti for $450 last year (even less after cashback). No way this is worth it.
Surely you should pick up a second hand 3060ti for $250-300 instead of this?
It's impressive how bad the 5050 is considering the price. The 9060xt is a no brainer over it, or a second hand card if the 9060xt is too much
How is the 5050 bad? 8GB 9060 XT costs ~30% more for ~30% better performance, it's pretty similar value wise
Can't believe x50 Nvidia GPU in this price.
$AUD349 is about $US226 so cheaper then $US250 MSRP, not bad i reckon.
Don't know what's worse 🙄 this card or the RX6400 I got mid 2023 for $160. Any future card gotta be half decent and this doesn't fit that. Have to rely on my trusty GTX 1660 Super for now 🤣
Indeed, xx50 e-waste
