Inno3D has released initial performance benchmarks for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 8 GB GPU, an entry-level graphics card priced at $249, based on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture. The benchmarks compare its performance to the RTX 3060 and RTX 4060.
The NVIDIA RTX 5050 delivers performance comparable to or slightly better than the RTX 4060 in benchmarks such as 3DMark’s Steel Nomad, Speed Way, Port Royal, Fire Strike Ultra, and Fire Strike, though it lags behind by less than 10% in TimeSpy Extreme and TimeSpy. Equipped with 2,560 CUDA cores, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, a base clock of 2,317 MHz, and a boost clock of 2,572 MHz, the RTX 5050 has a TDP of 130W. Inno3D’s dual-fan model sustains clock speeds up to 2.6 GHz while maintaining temperatures of 65°C for the GPU and 66°C for the memory. The card also supports DLSS 4, 5th-generation Tensor Cores, and 4th-generation Ray Tracing Cores, significantly enhancing AI-driven performance and ray tracing capabilities.

In gaming tests at 1080p, the RTX 5050 outperforms the RTX 3060 by up to 18.5% in titles like Borderlands 3, Far Cry 6, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla.
However, it is slightly slower than the RTX 4060, matching it in Far Cry 6 but falling behind by a few frames in other titles. Additional tests from Inno3D, including Cyberpunk 2077, Marvel Rivals, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and Black Myth: Wukong with DLSS, show the RTX 5050 averaging about 5% slower than the RTX 4060 but 10-15% faster than the RTX 3060.
