MSI GeForce RTX 5050 8G VENTUS 2X OC (G5050-8V2C)

A budget graphics card with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, designed for Full HD gaming and based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture (2025), bringing advanced scaling and multi-frame generation technologies to the entry-level segment. This model is part of the MSI Ventus 2025 lineup, which focuses on simple design and efficient cooling. It features a standard board length and a powerful dual-fan cooling system with a silent passive mode.

Thanks to its compact dimensions (length 197 mm, thickness 2 slots), it is perfect for compact gaming and multimedia PCs, where top-level performance is not essential. The MSI GeForce RTX 5050 8G VENTUS 2X OC is built on the GB207 chip with 2056 CUDA cores and uses a 128-bit memory bus. The model is aimed at replacing outdated graphics cards such as the GTX 1660 and RTX 3050, providing a noticeable performance increase with ray tracing enabled, especially in games with DLSS 4 support.

The Blackwell architecture ensures increased energy efficiency and support for multi-frame generation, allowing the graphics card to handle modern games at medium graphics settings in 1080p resolution confidently. Support for hardware acceleration of AI tasks expands the card's capabilities in professional tasks, such as high-resolution video rendering and working with neural networks. The manufacturer notes that for more demanding loads, it is better to choose higher-end models from the Blackwell series: RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. The power consumption of the model is 130 W, and a 550 W power supply is more than sufficient for powering the entire system.
