GeForce RTX 4050: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce RTX 4050 sales on 2023. This is a desktop graphics card based on an Ada Lovelace architecture and made with 5 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 6 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 18 GB/s are supplied, and together with 96 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 216.0 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. 1x 12-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 150 Watt.
