• Acer by chance listed RTX 5050 GPUs in some gaming laptops
• The spilled particulars confirmed energy utilization and clock speeds
• We didn’t get every other specs shared, although, and chatter concerning the desktop variant of the RTX 5050 has gone quiet, too

Acer has leaked the Nvidia RTX 5050 cellular GPU, giving us a glimpse of a number of the key specs of this laptop computer graphics card.

Not so way back, Nvidia launched RTX 5060 fashions (the 5060 Ti spin got here first), and earlier than these arrived, there have been rumors flying round about them and the RTX 5050, too.

Whereas the RTX 5050 hasn’t been formally introduced, we’ve been seeing quite a few leaks about it just lately. VideoCardz reviews that the newest leak comes from Acer, courtesy of a listing of GPU specs for Predator and Nitro gaming laptops.

This talked about an RTX 5050 in fairly a couple of of the Nitro notebooks, and I take advantage of the previous tense there as a result of Acer has caught the error and deleted the offending listings – however not earlier than VideoCardz took a screenshot as proof. Different sources have additionally taken be aware, so that is probably real – though nonetheless take it with a grain of salt, as with all rumors.

We will see from this screengrab that Acer is ready to supply the RTX 5050 in 5 totally different energy choices, starting from 50W as much as 100W, with correspondingly sooner clock speeds for every, from 1500MHz as much as 2550MHz. Notice that there’ll even be an ‘Acer OC’ (overclocked) increase of 15W with these fashions, that means essentially the most highly effective mannequin will be capable of present 115W in a pinch.

Sadly, we don’t see any specs apart from energy utilization and clocks, that are tied collectively in a direct relationship – the sooner the clocks are pushed, the extra wattage the GPU will devour.

Evaluation: A laptop computer RTX 5050 feels imminent – however what concerning the desktop mannequin?

The specs we see right here don’t give us a lot of a clue as to how highly effective the RTX 5050 will theoretically be. That mentioned, the utmost energy envelope marketed is kind of substantial at 115W, however we don’t know sufficient about this cellular GPU to attract any definitive conclusions. Key components will embrace the core depend, which isn’t disclosed, and the kind of video reminiscence (VRAM) used.

I ought to be aware that on the latter entrance, there have been rumors that Nvidia might go for slower GDDR6 VRAM, quite than the GDDR7 employed elsewhere with the Blackwell era. Nonetheless, newer rumors have recommended Nvidia will keep on with GDDR7 (8GB of this VRAM, which is an anticipated configuration for an entry-level GPU).
