Expecting restock
An entry-level graphics card with 8GB of memory, built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture (2025), aimed at gamers who value a balance between performance and a restrained design. The MSI GeForce RTX 5050 8G SHADOW 2X comes in a classic black color without decorative elements or RGB lighting, making it suitable for any build, including office and compact configurations. The model is based on the GB207 graphics processor and is equipped with 2560 CUDA cores, 80 tensor cores, and 20 cores responsible for hardware ray tracing. It is designed to replace outdated graphics cards like the GTX 1660 and RTX 3050, offering a noticeable performance boost with ray tracing enabled, especially in games with DLSS 4 support. The graphics card uses a compact dual-slot cooling system with TORX 5.0 fans and...a single heat pipe, effectively dissipating heat from the GPU. Due to its low TDP, the model does not require a powerful power supply, with the manufacturer stating that 550W will be sufficient. Power is supplied through a standard 8-pin PCIe connector, without the use of adapters or splitters. The Blackwell architecture enhances performance in ray-traced games and improves image quality with DLSS 4, as well as optimizes work with AI tasks and applications related to graphics and video.
