GIGABYTE has announced the launch of its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card lineup through 3 distinct model categories—GAMING OC, WINDFORCE OC, and a compact low-profile variant.
GIGABYTE’s GAMING OC and WINDFORCE OC models are equipped with the latest iteration of the WINDFORCE cooling system. These cards adopt the upgraded Hawk Fan design, which improves airflow pressure by 53.6% and air volume by 12.5% while keeping acoustic levels low. A server-grade thermal conductive gel is applied to key components like the VRAM and MOSFETs, enhancing thermal stability and longevity.
Visually, the GAMING OC card delivers a rugged, industrial aesthetic with a triple-fan layout and a customizable sliding side plate. The WINDFORCE OC model, on the other hand, takes a more minimal approach, offering users a straightforward black-themed design as a stable entry-level option.
Complementing these is the GeForce RTX 5050 OC Low Profile 8G, purpose-built for small-form-factor systems. At just 182mm in length, this model retains high-performance cooling thanks to a copper plate and composite heat pipes. It supports up to four simultaneous displays via dual DisplayPort and HDMI outputs, and includes a low-profile bracket for wider chassis compatibility.
All GeForce RTX 5050 models from GIGABYTE feature Ultra Durable-certified components, reinforced backplates, and precision-engineered circuit designs for long-term operational integrity.
