RTX 5050, 5060, 5060 Ti spotted in records
The Nvidia RTX 5090 costs two thousand freakin’ dollars, and the cheapest of the new cards is still $550. I can remember when that would get you a top-end GPU. So when are we going to see some cheaper entries in the latest series? It might be sooner than you think, according to some records filed by the Eurasian Economic Commission.
The EEC now has listings for Zotac cards labeled “RTX 5050,” “RTX 5060,” and “RTX 5060 Ti,” along with the three known higher-end 50-series cards and existing designs. WCCFTech says that the filing was made earlier in February, which makes sense as the new cards are now hitting the EEU territories (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia).
It’s worth pointing out that merely registering for the trade names of these cards doesn’t guarantee that they’ll be coming to market…but it seems like a safe enough bet that at least some of them will, based on previous Nvidia designs. There is no desktop version of the RTX 4050 (there are laptops with that GPU label), but the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti discrete cards have a base price of $299 and $399 USD, respectively.
We’ve heard that the RTX 6050 could arrive on store shelves by March, which is also around the same time that the newest GPUs from AMD should be landing. We still don’t know anything about the prices for either of them…except that we’re starving for some budget options. Oh, and that however much those new Nvidia cards will cost, it seems very likely that they’ll sell out immediately.
