Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5050 Gaming OC Review: Budget Tier

Extra tests, Graphics | | Adam Vágner

Nvidia skipped the RTX 4050 in its GeForce RTX 40 lineup, leaving only the aging RTX 3060 and 3050 as budget options. The new GeForce RTX 5050 replaces both and adds modern features and standards. It’s the weakest—but also the cheapest—Blackwell-architecture card and can run every game at lower resolutions without without major sacrifices in image quality. That said, its price still makes the RTX 5060 the more attractive choice.

The next set of tests uses ray tracing and FSR super resolution. GeForce results are included mainly for comparison with Radeon performance in active super sampling scenarios, though GeForce users will likely prefer DLSS. DLSS performance is covered in the following chapter.

However, more and more signs appear to confirm this. Read more “End of GeForce RTX 5090: Retailers Ending Sales, Nvidia too” »

mVolt+ Unlocks Forbidden GeForce RTX 5000 Overclocking Options

Overclocking graphics cards is quite different from how “OC” works on CPUs. GPUs generally operate at fairly low voltages and clock speeds, and their overclocking is mostly artificially limited by various power or voltage limits in the drivers and firmware. The same is true of Nvidia’s current cards. But the artificial OC limits have now been bypassed, so it may be possible to extract significantly higher performance from them, although not without risks.
