NVIDIA may be launching the GeForce RTX 5050 earlier in China than expected. The Chinese market could see the new GPU on July 1, even though NVIDIA’s official global release is slated for the second of July.
This was hinted at by discrepancies between the English and Chinese versions of NVIDIA’s website.
While the English site mentions a mid-July release, the Chinese site only states it will be available in July, which some believe suggests an earlier launch in China.
This speculation has been fueled by NVIDIA’s press release, which noted that the GeForce RTX 5050 driver will be available in early July, further indicating a possible early release. If this happens, benchmarks may be available sooner, allowing consumers to evaluate the GPU’s performance ahead of the global launch.
However, it’s important to take this information with a grain of salt, as it has not been officially confirmed by NVIDIA. Early reports suggest the GeForce RTX 5050 might offer 60-class performance, but early benchmarks have shown the card might not live up to expectations. While it could compete with older models, it may be noticeably slower than anticipated. With rumors swirling and leaks circulating, it remains to be seen whether this GPU can deliver the performance that users want.
