ASUS PRIME NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 8GB Blackwell Graphics Card

Primed for Power

The ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 PRIME 8GB graphics card delivers next-generation gaming and creative performance, powered by NVIDIA’s advanced Blackwell architecture and 8GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory. Engineered for both gamers and creators, this GPU features a robust 2.5-slot, triple-fan cooling system for superior airflow and thermal efficiency, making it ideal for SFF builds without compromising on power. With support for cutting-edge technologies like DLSS 4, full ray tracing, and AI-accelerated graphics, the RTX 5050 PRIME ensures smooth frame rates, lifelike visuals, and exceptional responsiveness in the latest titles. Key features include a PCIe 5.0 interface, a boost clock up to 2602 MHz, and a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320, supporting up to four displays for immersive multi-monitor setups.

Advanced Cooling, Unmatched Efficiency

The Prime RTX 5050 features a 2.5 slot design with a carefully arranged layout for the shroud, heatsink and heat pipes to let the three Axial-tech fans leverage chassis side-panel ventilation and deliver optimal thermal performance.

Axial-Tech Upgrades

Three tried-and-true Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure for lower temperatures, less noise and higher performance.

0dB Technology

All three fans come to a standstill when GPU temperatures are below 50°C, letting you play less demanding games or perform light tasks in relative silence. Fans start up again when temperatures are over 55°C, establishing a speed curve that balances performance and acoustics for work or play.

Dual Ball Fan Bearings

Different bearing types have unique pros and cons. Dual-ball bearings excel at durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.

Vented Backplate

Large backplate vents significantly enhance heat dissipation, helping to keep the GPU cooler during intense tasks. This additional airflow helps ensure optimal temperatures, boosting performance, longevity and stability by defending against overheating and thermal throttling.

MaxContact Design

MaxContact is a special ASUS manufacturing process that effectively expands the surface area of the heat spreader that sits atop the GPU by 5%, compared to traditional designs. This improves temperatures by up to 2°C, in concert with an extensive heatsink array and powerful Axial-tech fans. Unmatched Reliability

ASUS GPU Guard

ASUS GPU Guard applies adhesive to secure all four corners to reduce the risk of cracks.

Protective Backplate

The PCB is reinforced by a metal backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and to protect components and trace pathways from damage.

Stainless Steel Bracket

The mounting bracket features grade 304 stainless steel, chosen for its strength and high resistance to corrosion. An Engineering Marvel

Dual-BIOS

Do you prioritise low core temps or low noise levels? Performance mode lets the fans spin up to keep the card running cool all the time, and Quiet mode keeps the same power target and top-end settings while offering a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at moderate temperatures.

Auto-Extreme Technology

An automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass, ASUS Auto-Extreme technology reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption and a more reliable product overall.

Incredible Software Control

The ASUS GPU Tweak III utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It lets you tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card.
