NVIDIA Reportedly Preparing 9 GB GeForce RTX 5050 Variant with GDDR7

What happened

NVIDIA is reportedly preparing a 9GB GDDR7 variant of the RTX 5050 and downgrading the RTX 5060 to a cut-down GB205 die, according to leaks. These changes are attributed to supply constraints affecting lower-tier RTX 50-series GPUs, with the RTX 5060 12GB reportedly canceled. Watch: Potential for altered supply mix and demand shifts between GDDR6 and GDDR7 memory tiers.
