NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 "Ada" Launches This June

[enb141]

Except that it's a hell of a lot faster, it needs less power (50-ish something W instead of 75), and it has HDMI 2.0 which can drive 4K 60 Hz displays. I'm using mine as a HTPC card, so for me, it's quite useful (well, it's actually a 6500 XT, but the point remains).

I can't use my 6400 for HTPC and I can't recommend it for HTPC either because you don't have VRR and you are limited to 8 bits with smart TVs, I'll be back to nvidia as soon as they release their 4050.

I would go with Intel's options in this case. Intel's drivers probably having problems with games, not media encoding/decoding/playback, or anything else. And I think even Intel's A380 is more than enough for that task. So if the programs you use, support Intel, I see no reason to pay the Nvidia tax.

Intel Arc drivers do not handle Davinci Resolve and DxO Photolab 6 too well.

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.

Pity. I would expect Intel to be supporting known programs from day 1.

I'm pretty sure there are fixes for what you're talking about but I can't link them as r/AV1 is dark right now in protest of Reddit's API changes/charges.

I'll wait for the 12GB version..

I had a similar problem, in my case with an AMD 6400, no 10 bit on windows, no VRR, with kodi hardware acceleration has to be without using HDR and so, lots of problems.

So I'm waiting for a 4050 and as soon as they release them I'm gonna buy one of those.

This is quite a amusing thread, the mental gymnastics some pull out to make a square turd fit a round hole is amazing, no modern DP2.1 support, great future proofing for a htpc watching videos?! And at a price no doubt higher than other alternatives.
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.
