Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5050 mobile GPU has been confirmed to feature 8GB of VRAM, according to leaked listings for Lenovo’s LOQ and Legion 5 gaming laptops on a UK retailer’s website.
This leak gives gamers a first look at what to expect from Nvidia’s next entry-level graphics card for laptops, aimed at affordable gaming and creative work.
The Lenovo Legion 5 15IRX10, as listed, pairs the Intel Core i7-13650HX processor with the new GeForce RTX 5050 8GB GPU, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The laptop also features a 15.1-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) display, promising sharp visuals and smooth gameplay for popular titles.
The RTX 5050 is built on Nvidia’s latest RTX architecture, supporting real-time ray tracing and AI-enhanced graphics, making it suitable for both gamers and content creators.
Leaks from other brands like LG and Razer further suggest that the RTX 5050 mobile GPU will soon be available in various laptops. All signs pointing to an official launch in the coming weeks.
Notably, the RTX 5050 is expected to use GDDR6 VRAM, which is slightly slower than the GDDR7 memory found in higher-end RTX 50 series models, but should still deliver strong performance for its segment.
With the RTX 5050, Nvidia is targeting users who want modern gaming features like DLSS and ray tracing without breaking the bank. The 8GB VRAM ensures enough memory for most recent games at high settings, making these laptops a solid choice for students and budget-conscious gamers.
Expect more details and official pricing soon as retailers update their listings and Nvidia prepares for a wider rollout.
