Last week, reports claimed that the unannounced RTX 5050 desktop graphics card may use GDDR7 memory, potentially due to high market demand for GDDR6 memory modules. Now, the rumours have reversed course, with claims that board partners are using GDDR6 memory for upcoming RTX 5050 graphics cards. 

A new report from Benchlife (via VideoCardz) mentions the actual vendors of these GDDR6 memory modules. Samsung is reportedly lined up as the primary supplier for RTX 5050 memory, with SK Hynix also on the list to provide modules at a later stage. Furthermore, Benchlife has corroborated the card's SKU and board number as PG152-F01 SKU 50, with “F01” potentially indicating an internal version designation for one of Nvidia's board partners.

The performance figures for the RTX 5050's GDDR6 memory remain unknown, but given the rumoured specifications, one could assume it will be similar to an RTX 4060. Based on previous reports, the RTX 5050 will pack 8GB of VRAM across a 128-bit memory bus, 2560 CUDA cores, and a 130W TDP.
