NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 "Ada" Launches This June
NVIDIA's mainstream GeForce RTX 4050 "Ada" graphics card, which succeeds the RTX 3050, reportedly launches in June 2023. This could end up being the highest-volume SKU in the RTX 40-series desktop lineup. Team green is planning to launch a new desktop SKU every month leading up to Summer. April will see the company launch the performance-segment RTX 4070, followed by the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 in May, and now we hear about the RTX 4050 in June.
The GeForce RTX 4050 is likely based on a highly cut down version of the 5 nm "AD107" silicon that also powers the RTX 4060 in its maxed out configuration. The AD107, much like the AD106, features a 128-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface. For the RTX 4050, NVIDIA could narrow this down to 96-bit, and give it 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, which is 25% less than the 8 GB of 128-bit GDDR6 memory that's standard for the current-generation RTX 3050. NVIDIA would have worked out the performance numbers, and the RTX 4050 might still end up generationally faster than the RTX 3050 despite this narrower/smaller memory.

I purchased the A750 for sole purpose of using it for media editing/ photo editing but the driver is way too shonky as of June 2023.
For example, when I use AV1 encoding in Davinci, the resulting output has wobbly/jitterly fusion effects. Some of the noise reduction settings simply doesn’t work in Photolab 6 at all.
I am now waiting for RTX4060 or 4050 to become available here in the UK.
So I'm waiting for a 4050 and as soon as they release them I'm gonna buy one of those.
All this talk about 6400 is irrelevant, the worst card AMD sells, has no place in this conversation and those bringing it up do the thread a disservice.
I would do without, use the CPU Igpu, or buy second hand rather then fluff Huang's pillow buying this, unless they price no higher than £200 dropping fast too, they won't though.
