ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5050 SOLO (ZT-B50500G-10L)

A compact video card with a shortened PCB and a single large fan. It belongs to the entry-level price segment and is part of the specialized Zotac Solo series of miniature cards, designed for ultra-compact gaming or professional builds. It is also the most affordable video card using the Blackwell graphics architecture, standing out among other GeForce RTX 50 series models with its use of GDDR6 memory.

The manufacturer positions it as a budget solution for gaming at 1080p resolution. The ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5050 SOLO is based on the NVIDIA GB207 graphics chip with 2560 CUDA cores and a maximum clock speed of 2572 MHz. The video buffer is represented by eight gigabytes of GDDR6 with a speed of 20 Gbps, providing bandwidth up to 320 GB/s. The Blackwell architecture offers a higher level of performance compared to previous generations, especially in games with activated ray tracing.

A key upgrade is the fifth-generation tensor cores, providing a noticeable increase in image scaling efficiency and frame generation. Unlike the previous version, DLSS 4 generates up to three intermediate frames for each rendered frame, allowing for a significant boost in game performance. The cooling system consists of a single fan and an aluminum heatsink, allowing the card to remain quiet and efficient under moderate loads. Power is supplied through a classic 8-pin connector without the need for a 12VHPWR adapter. The recommended power supply is 550W.
