Acer has inadvertently become the first major manufacturer to reveal critical specifications for NVIDIA’s unannounced GeForce RTX 5050 laptop GPU. Leaked details from Acer’s official support documentation confirm both base/boost clock speeds and Total Graphics Power (TGP) ranges for the next-gen entry-level gaming GPU.
The Confirmed Specs
According to Acer’s published technical guides for its 2025 Predator and Nitro gaming laptops, the RTX 5050 will feature:
- Base Clock: 1,530 MHz
- Boost Clock: 1,755 MHz
- TGP Range: 60W–85W (configurable by OEMs)
- Max TGP with Dynamic Boost: 95W
These figures position the RTX 5050 as a likely successor to the RTX 4050, offering modest clock speed bumps (≈8% over the RTX 4050’s boost clock) within a similar power envelope. Industry sources suggest the GPU will utilize NVIDIA’s GB206 silicon with 16 PCIe Gen5 lanes and 6GB of GDDR6 memory.
What This Means for Gamers
The 60W–95W TGP window signals NVIDIA’s focus on efficiency for thin-and-light gaming laptops. At 85W+ configurations, early engineering samples reportedly outperform the RTX 4050 by 15–20% in Cyberpunk 2077 (1080p Medium settings). The inclusion of DLSS 3.5 and improved ray-tracing cores could make 60 FPS+ ray-traced gaming feasible in entry-level systems.
For those tracking Acer’s 2025 lineup, full technical specifications across all GPU configurations are now accessible in their official documentation:

Competitive Landscape
With AMD’s RDNA 4 mobile GPUs delayed to late 2026, NVIDIA faces little pressure to push TGP boundaries for this tier. However, the RTX 5050’s efficiency could challenge Intel’s upcoming Arc Battlemage A5 mobile GPUs in sub-$1,000 laptops. Acer’s leak suggests systems like the Nitro V 15 will pair the 5050 with Intel’s Core Ultra 5 240H CPUs, targeting 1080p gaming at competitive prices.
Availability
Expect RTX 5050-equipped laptops from Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo by late Q3 2025. Pricing is projected to start at $899 for Nitro-series models, though higher-TGP designs may approach $1,099.
Editor’s Note: While NVIDIA hasn’t officially announced the RTX 5050, Acer’s documentation historically precedes formal reveals by weeks. We’ve reached out to NVIDIA for comment.
