Nvidia RTX 5050 Laptop GPU specifications leak

Acer has provided the first glimpse into the specifications for Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 5050 laptop GPU. While details remain limited to the mobile variant (with no news on a potential desktop version yet), Acer has confirmed the clock speeds and Total Graphics Power (TGP) configurations for the entry-level Blackwell mobile GPU.

While Nvidia has yet to confirm the GPU die and CUDA core count, early specs from Acer show a good part of the memory configuration. According to Acer's gaming laptop spec sheet (via VideoCardz), the RTX 5050 Laptop GPU will feature 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM, a notable upgrade over the rumoured GDDR6 it was expected to employ. If accurate, this would mean the GPU's core count will be the primary differentiator compared to the RTX 5060.

Acer has confirmed at least five distinct TGP configurations for the RTX 5050. The lowest TGP starts at 50W (with up to 60W dynamic boost) for clock speeds up to 1500MHz (or 1600MHz with Acer OC). Mid-range options include 60W (up to 75W) at 1905MHz, and 70W (up to 85W) or 80W (up to 95W) options, both at 2212MHz (with Acer OC up to 2313MHz). The highest TGP configuration hits 100W (up to 115W), pushing clock speeds to 2550MHz (or 2650MHz with Acer OC).

The RTX 5050 will succeed the RTX 4050 and feature in various Acer Nitro gaming laptops. While Acer has not yet announced a launch date for systems featuring the new GPU, they're expected to be released soon.
