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.

Too bad it will be overpriced as nVidia likes to do.
Can someone please wake me up when/if they drop to $100, then perhaps I would consider buying one, until then, it's back to my nappy time :)

The 3060 Ti uses just a little more power than the 3060 does when gaming and Max, but uses less or the same in other tested results from W1zzard.
Gaming:
3060 - 181W
3060Ti - 199W
Maximum:
3060 - 179W
3060Ti - 197W
V-Synce 60 Hz:
3060 - 176W
3060Ti - 73W
Idle:
3060 - 13W
3060Ti - 9W
Multi-Monitor:
3060 - 16W
3060Ti - 17W
Video Playback:
3060 - 17W
3060Ti - 17W
If they cant manage that then I'll pick up a used A2000 off of ebay, those are about 3050 speed.
4070Ti and 4090 are both priced $20 per Tera flops. So a 4050 with its 13 Tflops can't cost more than 299.
