GeForce RTX 50Released April 16, 2025Launch price $429 (launch price; no Founders Edition)

$8.40 per frame in Cyberpunk 2077 1440p Ultra, on the launch price.

The cheapest RTX 50 card with 16 GB, which makes it the budget pick for local AI and for games that fill memory. In games it is a 1080p card that copes at 1440p; with ray tracing on at 1440p it held 31 fps in Tom's Hardware's Cyberpunk 2077 test where the 8 GB version managed 21. NVIDIA rates it for a 600 W power supply.
