Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Windforce OC (8GB GDDR6)
R6,714.00 inc. VAT
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5050 Windforce OC delivers NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture at entry-level pricing. Powered by the RTX 5050 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit interface and a factory boost clock of 2587 MHz, it brings real RTX features — DLSS 4, ray tracing, and Multi Frame Generation — to budget builders for the first time. Positioned as an affordable solution for gaming at 1080p and 1440p, with a compact 199mm card length — it fits virtually any case.
Description
Entry-Level Gets a Blackwell Upgrade
The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5050 Windforce OC 8G brings stunning visuals, amazingly fast frame rates, and AI acceleration to games and creative applications with its enhanced RT Cores and Tensor Cores — finally bringing proper RTX features to the most accessible end of the market.
GDDR6 + Blackwell Architecture
Built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, the RTX 5050 uses GDDR6 memory with an effective frequency of 14 Gbps — a step below the GDDR7 found in the RTX 5060 and above, but still delivering meaningful performance for 1080p gaming. The card uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface with 2560 CUDA cores.
DLSS 4 on a Budget
DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation is fully supported, allowing the RTX 5050 to leverage AI-powered frame generation to produce smooth framerates in supported titles — a capability that simply didn’t exist at this price tier before Blackwell.
WINDFORCE Cooling — Compact and Capable
The WINDFORCE cooling system features two 90mm Hawk fans with alternate spinning, 3 composite copper heat pipes directly touching the GPU, 3D Active Fans, and screen cooling. The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling — fans remain off during light loads or low-power gaming.
⚠️ Note: The RTX 5050 uses GDDR6 memory rather than the GDDR7 found in higher-tier Blackwell cards. This is reflected in its lower memory bandwidth, making it best suited to 1080p gaming rather than demanding 1440p workloads.
