The MSI GeForce RTX 5050 Gaming OC runs at a base GPU clock of 2317 MHz, boosting up to 2632 MHz under load, while its GPU memory operates at 1750 MHz. The card delivers a floating-point performance of 13.48 TFLOPS and a texture rate of 210.6 GTexels/s, supported by 2560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The pixel rate reaches 84.22 GPixel/s, and the card also includes support for Double Precision Floating Point (DPFP), rounding out a capable set of computational specifications.
The card is equipped with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM running at an effective speed of 20000 MHz across a 128-bit memory bus, yielding a maximum memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s. ECC memory support is also included, adding a layer of data integrity for workloads that benefit from error correction.
The MSI GeForce RTX 5050 Gaming OC supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, covering a broad range of graphics and compute APIs. It includes hardware-accelerated ray tracing, DLSS support, and stereoscopic 3D, while XeSS (XMX) and LHR are not present. Multi-display technology is supported with a maximum of four simultaneous displays, and Intel Resizable BAR is available for optimized CPU-to-GPU data access. The card also features RGB lighting for visual customization.
The card's output configuration consists of one HDMI 2.1b port and three DisplayPort outputs, allowing up to four displays to be connected simultaneously. There are no USB-C, DVI, or mini DisplayPort outputs on this model.
The MSI GeForce RTX 5050 Gaming OC is built on the Blackwell architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process with 16,900 million transistors, and connects to the system via PCIe 5.0. It carries a Thermal Design Power of 130W and does not include air-water cooling. The card measures 202 mm in width and 120 mm in height, fitting a compact physical footprint for its class.
