NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050

The GeForce RTX 4050 is an unreleased desktop graphics card by NVIDIA. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD107) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4050 has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,250 MHz memory clock and a 96 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 216 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 4050 includes 2,560 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,505 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,640 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 120 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 18 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 4050 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W.
