NVIDIA likely cancels RTX 5050 9 GB as RTX 3060 12 GB returns to market

Leaked information from the source MEGAsizeGPU suggests that NVIDIA has cancelled, or at least indefinitely delayed, the GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card that would have featured 9 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 96‑bit bus, delivering roughly 336 GB/s bandwidth – a modest 5 % increase over the standard RTX 5050.

The rumor cites the recent re‑introduction of the RTX 3060 12 GB model in the same price segment as the primary reason. The 3060 offers more VRAM and a proven architecture, making the 9‑GB RTX 5050 redundant and commercially unattractive. NVIDIA has not issued any official statement, and its manufacturing partners have reported no launch schedule or production instructions for the 9‑GB variant.

A leaker summed up the sentiment: “I think it’s canceled.” The speculation remains unconfirmed, but current evidence points to the RTX 5050 9 GB not being part of NVIDIA’s immediate product roadmap.
