GoKawiilA few months ago, reports of AMD working on a new entry-level GPU began making the rounds, and today we've just got our clearest look yet at the rumored cards. ASRock has just listed the rumored Radeon RX 9050 on its website in two different configurations, 4GB and 8GB, but we have no word on pricing or availability. AMD hasn't made any official announcements yet, so we only have a limited amount of info to dissect, and it should naturally be taken with a grain of salt. However, the leaked specs from an official vendor, which have since been taken down, would herald the return of 4GB VRAM GPUs in 2026, not seen since 2022.
amd hasnt updated the radeon 9000 series family listed on the wesite.asrock rx 9050 4g & rx 9050 8g64bit vs 128biti guess the 8gb card has four 2g chips to reach the full 128bit, while the 4gb card has only two 2g chips, so its only 64bit. would it be better if the 4gb card… https://t.co/yYATuPnioT pic.twitter.com/jX0geYO6uMJuly 28, 2026
The RX 9050 seems to be using a cut-down Navi 44 GPU from the RX 9060 series, with 1,024 cores spread across 16 Compute Units. The leak from May claimed it had 32 CUs instead. ASRock's Challenger variant lists a 1,920 MHz base clock and a 2,600 MHz boost clock. The listing also recommends a 450W power supply, which is 50W less than the RX 9060's 500W recommendation, though we don't know the board power for the RX 9050 yet.
