Graphics cards are usually the main obstacle to building an affordable gaming rig. Recently, the industry’s attention has been on the Nvidia RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, which are far from budget GPUs. The RTX 5070 Ti will be released on February 20th but at a $749 or higher MSRP. However, some Zotac EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) filings hint that the RTX 5050 is coming, which may become an enticing GPU for lower-end systems.
