it is not officially announced or confirmed by Nvidia about the upcoming RTX 4050 or RTX 4000 series but there are solid rumors and leaks coming out every day with more and more details. In modern-day article, we’re going to talk about the brand new GPUs coming from Nvidia, specially on RTX 4050. We may also speak approximately Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 4050, RTX 4060, RTX 4070, RTX 4080 and all the manner to RTX 4090 in the upcoming articles.
RTX 4050 Specs, Performance, Price
This graphics card is the successor of RTX 3050 and will be a similarly budget-friendly product. As soon as this new series is officially launched by Nvidia you will see a decrease in the prices of all GPUs of the 3000 series and previous ones too. This GPU can cost you from $200 to $300 like the RTX 3050 which will be its MSRP price. It is not possible to estimate how much Vendors will sell next.
RTX 4050 Specification
Let’s talk about the specs of this GPU or its performance. The last generation RTX 3000 series was named AMPERE but this time Nvidia has given a different name to its architecture ADA LOVELACE which is very beautiful. In RTX 4050 you will find AD106 and AD107 GPU chipsets. It is not yet confirmed whether there will be any TI variant in RTX 4050 or not because if we look at RTX 3050 Nvidia did not launch anything like that but in RTX 4050 this pattern could be changed.
If we talk about the specs of the chipset of this GPU then its total area will be expected around AD107/~150mm2 and it will be using TSMC’s 4nm process node which is an upgraded version of TSMC’s 5nm node. Now here comes a very interesting comparison if we compare the GPU of RTX 3050 which was GA107 with the GPU of RTX 4050 which will be AD107 from which it can be expected that you will get a 20% higher cores count and 50% more L1 Cache and 8x L2 Cache will be available along with 4 Gen Tensor Cores and 3Gen Ray Tracing Cores.
The important thing here is that the clock speeds of the GPU can vary the results that are expected to be between 2 to 3Ghz. All those specifications are simply leaks & rumors, but those are stable leaks, so we are able to expect to see the equal outcomes. Also, if we communicate about the rest of the specs of the GPU, you should see the photo underneath. You can guess from the comparison image below what is the difference between RTX 3050 and RTX 4050.
But there may be a massive thrilling leak right here, if the energy intake of these GPUs can go up to 150W then it is going to be ingesting nearly 30% extra electricity as compared to RTX 3050. As a end result, the overall performance distinction between these two GPUs have to be huge sufficient to justify such strength consumption.
RTX 4050 Features
When it comes to features, these are new GPUs, they have a new architecture, as well as all the new features you will find. Like 4th Gen Tensor Cores, 3Gen Ray Tracing Core and with them you will find other modern fears inside it. Like RTX, DLSS, NVENC, REFLEX, VOICE, etc. Apart from all these, now let’s talk about the main topic.
RTX 4050 Performance
You may be wondering how this new GPU will perform. Will it be better than RTX 3000 series or not? Unfortunately, we don’t have any definite matrix but if we talk about leaks and rumors and based on them if we make some assumptions then in RTX 3050 we get compute performance of about 9.11 TFLOPs whereas in RTX 4050 we get 14 TFLOPs. It is worth noting here that this bus has been assumed considering the clock speed of 2.2Ghz but there are some rumors that this clock speed is going to get even more. Even if we keep in mind the 2.2Ghz, the performance boost that we are going to get is going to be from 50% to 55% over the RTX 3050. I know ٖ FLOPs can’t indicate gaming performance or overall graphics performance but we can still compare new and old GPUs on this basis.
RTX 4050 Price & Availability
If you communicate about the price of this GPU, you can get it from around $2 hundred to $three hundred. I think it will cost a piece extra this time because it has numerous improvements and a very good performance improve. The RTX 4000 series is set to launch very soon, starting in August and running until September-October, but the launch of the RTX 4050 and RTX 4060 is expected around January or February 2023.
Final Words
You can expect a lot of 1080p gaming from this new GPU because it will be a budget-range graphics card so your expectations should not be very high. I’m already double-minded about its power consumption as compared to RTX 3050 which is 30% higher. Nvidia has always introduced 50 series for budget level and entry-level gaming. One thing is sure this GPU must be value for money and powerful enough GPU to fulfill our 1080p gaming dreams. What are your thoughts about this new GPU, let me know in the comments below.
