AMD has expanded its Radeon RX 9000 Series graphics card lineup with the launch of the AMD Radeon RX 9050. Built on the latest AMD RDNA 4 architecture, the new desktop GPU is designed for 1080p gaming while offering support for advanced features such as AMD FSR, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, AI acceleration, and AV1 encoding and decoding. The Radeon RX 9050 is equipped with 8 GB GDDR6 memory and has a Typical Board Power (TBP) of 92W, making it suitable for mainstream gaming systems.

The new graphics card packs 16 Compute Units, 1,024 Stream Processors, 16 Ray Accelerators, and 32 AI Accelerators.

It operates at a Game Clock of 1.92 GHz and can boost up to 2.60 GHz. AMD claims the GPU delivers up to 10.6 TFLOPs of FP32 compute performance.

The Radeon RX 9050 features 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM, a 128-bit memory interface, memory speeds of up to 18 Gbps, 288 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 32 MB AMD Infinity Cache.

For display connectivity, the Radeon RX 9050 supports:

• DisplayPort 2.1a
• HDMI 2.1b

The GPU also supports hardware encoding and decoding for:

• AV1
• H.264
• H.265 / HEVC

AMD recommends a 450W power supply, while the graphics card requires a single 8-pin PCIe power connector.

The Radeon RX 9050 supports several AMD gaming technologies, including:

• AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition
• AMD FSR “Redstone”
• AMD Fluid Motion Frames
• AMD Radeon Super Resolution
• AMD Smart Access Memory
• AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2
• AMD Radeon Boost
• AMD FreeSync
• AMD Enhanced Sync
• AMD Noise Suppression
• AMD Privacy View
• AMD Image Sharpening 2

Alongside the GPU announcement, AMD also released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.7.1, which adds day-one support for the Radeon RX 9050 and early multiplayer support for Gears of War: E-Day.

Note: These performance figures are based on AMD’s internal testing at 1080p Medium graphics settings. Actual gaming performance may vary depending on the system configuration, game updates, and driver versions.
