TECH NEWS – Meanwhile, Nvidia is trying to solve the black screen problems with drivers, but so far they haven’t had much success…
On Twitter, the reliable leaker @kopite7kimi shared the specs of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5050. The RTX 5060 Ti gets the GB206-300 GPU and the RTX 5050 gets the GB207-300. The RTX 5060 Ti gets 4608 CUDA cores, which is about 6% more than its predecessor. It will be available in both 16GB and 8GB variants, and both will have GDDR7 VRAM with a 128-bit memory bus (448GB/s bandwidth) and 180W power consumption (20W more than its predecessor). The 16GB card will be released first in late March and the 8GB card in April, close enough to the release of the RTX 4060.
The RTX 5050 will have 2560 CUDA cores, and as we mentioned earlier, it will only have GDDR6 VRAM, and 8GB of it, with a bandwidth of around 300GB/s at 20-22Gbps. Its power consumption will be 130W (so far we’ve heard 135W). This card will also hit the stores sometime in April, and certainly here “the greens” would not be very advisable to release the card more expensive than rivals, because Intel (Arc Battlemage B580) and AMD (the yet to be announced Radeon RX 9050) will take advantage of it…

Nvidia has released another driver hotfix. This brings us up to version 572.75 (572.60 is the latest for Quadro/RTX cards, but this was released on February 27th). The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 previously had a bug where they would not run at maximum speed after a reboot if you increased their clock speed, and they generally tried to fix the black screen crash issue on the Blackwell architecture family. These have supposedly been fixed by Nvidia. We have not heard anything about the former, so another bug has appeared, which is shocking, because something like this should have been tested more seriously…
The specifications of the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5050 are not official yet.
