NVIDIA to Use GDDR6 Memory from Samsung and SK Hynix for Upcoming RTX 5050 Cards
NVIDIA is set to launch its new RTX 5050 graphics card in July, although the company has not yet officially confirmed the exact date. More details about this entry-level RTX model have emerged, including the fact that it will be the only model in the range to feature GDDR6 memory. This has been confirmed by recent leaks, which align with earlier rumors about the card’s specifications.
Memory Providers for RTX 5050
It has now been revealed that the RTX 5050 will primarily use memory from Samsung, with SK Hynix also set to provide memory for the card in the future. The specific model of GDDR6 memory to be used has not been confirmed, but it’s expected to be similar to the memory found in the RTX 40 series, which used modules ranging from 17 to 20 Gbps. With a 128-bit memory bus, this configuration will provide modest memory bandwidth, appropriate for this lower-end model.
As we get closer to the official launch, it’s likely NVIDIA will confirm these details and provide additional technical specifications. With the release planned for July, we can expect an official announcement soon that will shed more light on the features and performance of the RTX 5050.
