Gigabyte launches three new graphics cards powered by NVIDIA's new entry-level GeForce RTX 5050 GPU, the GeForce RTX 5050 GAMING OC 8G, GeForce RTX 5050 WINDFORCE OC 8G and GeForce RTX 5050 OC Low Profile 8G.
(Press Release) GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd. is pleased to announce the debut of the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5050 lineup of graphics cards. GIGABYTE introduces models including GAMING, WINDFORCE, and low-profile graphics cards, offering users a range of options to suit their needs.
Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell, GeForce RTX™ 50 Series GPUs bring game-changing capabilities to gamers and creators. Equipped with a massive level of AI horsepower, the RTX 50 Series enables new experiences and next-level graphics fidelity. Multiply performance with NVIDIA DLSS 4, generate images at unprecedented speed, and unleash creativity with NVIDIA Studio.
GIGABYTE Series – GAMING and WINDFORCE
GIGABYTE has been committed to continuously enhancing its WINDFORCE cooling system since the initial launch of the RTX 50 Series. The new GeForce RTX 5050 GAMING OC 8G and GeForce RTX 5050 WINDFORCE OC 8G also feature this advanced cooling technology.
The new Hawk Fan design minimizes turbulence and noise, delivering up to a 53.6% increase in air pressure and a 12.5% boost in air volume, all while maintaining lower acoustics. Additionally, server-grade thermal conductive gel is applied to key components such as VRAM and MOSFETs. This non-fluid, highly adaptable gel ensures strong contact even on uneven surfaces and remains stable during transport or long-term use. Combined with the advanced thermal solutions, including the optimal heatsink with copper plate and composite copper heat pipes, both models offer exceptional cooling performance even under intensive workloads.
The aesthetics of the two cards showcase distinct styles:
- The GAMING OC series, equipped with three fans and a robust, armor-like multi-layered structure, highlights a tough, mechanical look in every detail. A unique sliding side plate adds an interactive element, allowing users to customize the card's appearance to reflect their personality.
- The WINDFORCE OC series, the entry-level graphics card, features a black-themed simple style. It is an ideal choice for users seeking stability and durability with the power of the RTX 5050 GPU.
In addition, reinforced backplates are securely fastened to the I/O bracket, improving durability and structural integrity. All models incorporate Ultra Durable-certified components, ensuring long-term stability and extended lifespan. GIGABYTE remains committed to delivering an outstanding gaming experience and reliable performance.
GIGABYTE Series – Low Profile Design with 182mm Card Length
Following the GeForce RTX 5060 Family, GIGABYTE now introduces the GeForce RTX 5050 OC Low Profile 8G, designed for users who favor compact builds and small-form-factor systems. The card features an efficient cooling system with a copper plate and composite heat pipes, enabling rapid heat transfer to the heatsink for better thermal performance at lower temperatures. Built with a high-quality circuit design and Ultra Durable-certified components, this low-profile card ensures excellent longevity and operational stability.
In terms of connectivity, the graphics card includes two DisplayPort outputs and two HDMI ports, supporting up to four displays simultaneously — ideal for users with multi-monitor setups. An additional low-profile bracket is included for broader case compatibility, giving users more flexibility in their PC builds.
The availability of GeForce RTX 5050 graphics cards started from July 1. For detailed product information and specifications, please visit the official GIGABYTE website.
