The new generation of GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards currently ranges from the very high-end with the RTX 5090 to the upper mid-range with the very recent GeForce RTX 5070. Unsurprisingly, NVIDIA's catalog should continue to expand in the coming weeks: several models intended for the entry-level and mid-range markets are planned.
Blackwell architecture expected between 300 and 600 euros
More precisely, the manufacturer is expected to unveil its GeForce RTX 5060 Ti at the beginning of April, followed a fortnight later by the GeForce RTX 5060. These two graphics cards would be positioned in the mid-range (between 400 and 600 euros) and would replace the current RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060. They would of course benefit from all the improvements and new features brought by the new architecture NVIDIA's DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation included. While it's almost a given that the RTX 5060 will be available exclusively with 8GB of GDDR7 memory, the exact amount of VRAM on board the Ti variant is still up for debate. Unless NVIDIA ultimately decides to offer two versions, equipped with 8GB and 16GB of memory respectively?

But NVIDIA would also be planning to tackle the entry-level with a – still hypothetical – GeForce RTX 5050, as early as April. Also a priori equipped with 8 GB of video memory and displaying a consumption of around 135W (or even less), it could arrive in Ti and/or non-Ti version and would therefore replace the GeForce RTX 4050 in the manufacturer's catalog. In any case, such a model would allow NVIDIA to offer something new in the 300-400 euro price segment, compared to Intel's Arc B580 and B570, which are now well established in this entry-level market.
