NVIDIA's RTX 5050 arrives early in laptops from Acer, MSI and more


NVIDIA's add-in board partners won't start selling the GeForce RTX 5050 until mid-July, but in China OEMs have begun offering the card in their laptops.

Wccftech and Videocardz report that 5050-equipped laptops are available to order in China as of this morning from domestic manufacturers like Mechrevo. The fact the laptop version has GDDR7 VRAM would suggests its sibling will as well since it wouldn't make much sense for NVIDIA to hobble the desktop card in that way. This being an entry-level card, the fact it only comes with 8GB of VRAM is more understandable, and it fits the bill for a GPU most people will only use for occasional gaming.
