NVIDIA‘s GeForce RTX 5050 has been spotted in an upcoming LG Gram 2025 laptop, offering new possibilities for the mid-range market. Equipped with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and pin-to-pin compatibility with the RTX 4050, this GPU is expected to improve both efficiency and performance.
A Delayed Launch with Promising Potential
While NVIDIA unveiled its high-end RTX 50 series GPUs, including the RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070, at CES 2025, the more budget-friendly RTX 5050 was absent. However, a recent leak reveals its existence, confirming it will debut in LG’s future laptop model. Although originally planned for a CES reveal, the RTX 5050’s launch has been delayed. Still, LG’s promotional material for the Gram 2025 hints at its inclusion, emphasizing its seamless integration thanks to its pin-to-pin compatibility with existing RTX 4050 hardware.
The RTX 5050 will come with advanced features such as 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and is reportedly optimized for balancing performance and power consumption. This makes it a compelling choice for mid-range laptops. Early reports suggest it will deliver noticeable improvements in efficiency over its predecessor, further solidifying NVIDIA’s presence in the mobile GPU segment.
A Step Toward Accessible Premium Performance
Currently, NVIDIA has introduced four RTX 50 series models for laptops. With the RTX 5060 rumored to rival the RTX 4070 in performance, expectations for the RTX 5050 remain high. The GPU is poised to deliver premium experiences at a more affordable price point, thanks to innovations like pin-to-pin compatibility, which simplifies upgrades for OEMs and consumers alike.
