Although the RTX 3050 existed in both desktop and laptop versions, the RTX 4050 has only made an appearance in laptops. It’s a budget-friendly option for those who want access to Nvidia’s DLSS 3, but of course, it’s not an outstanding GPU in terms of performance. The cheapest laptops with an RTX 4050 can be bought for around $680.

According to a Weibo rumor, Nvidia plans to keep the laptop GeForce RTX 4050 around as a budget-friendly alternative to the newer RTX 5050.

Nvidia rumored to be keeping RTX 4050 laptop GPU to sit under RTX 5050 when it arrives – so will this help with cheaper gaming laptops?

Rumors and leaks are beginning to ramp up regarding the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series release date, particularly the RTX 5090, bringing higher clock speeds and faster memory.
