Exciting developments are on the horizon for gaming enthusiasts as NVIDIA’s new RTX 5060 and RTX 5050 laptop GPUs make their first appearance in an upcoming ASUS gaming laptop, now available for pre-order. Highlighted by Mediazone, a Moroccan retailer, this fresh addition to the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 series is set to offer significant upgrades in gaming performance.
These latest GPUs are expected to debut with the groundbreaking GDDR7 memory, a feature that distinguishes the upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5050 from previous models. Although early leaks hinted that the RTX 5050 might retain GDDR6 memory, the newest revelations point towards both laptop models embracing the superior GDDR7 technology, which promises faster data transfer and enhanced gaming experiences.
The new ASUS TUF Gaming F16 is poised to take over from its predecessor, incorporating not only these state-of-the-art NVIDIA graphics cards but also Intel’s cutting-edge 14th-generation Core i7 processors. Gamers can expect a substantial leap in performance as they immerse themselves in the latest titles with these powerful components.
Price-wise, the laptop sporting the RTX 5050 is tagged at 19,900 DH, equivalent to approximately US$2,066, VAT included. Without VAT, the original price stands at US$1,722. Meanwhile, the model equipped with the RTX 5060 is priced at 21,490 DH or US$2,231 with VAT, bringing the base cost to US$1,860 sans VAT.
Release timelines suggest staggered launches, with the RTX 5060 Ti anticipated in mid-April, followed by the RTX 5060 in mid-May. While exact details regarding the RTX 5050’s launch remain undisclosed, it’s expected to coincide closely with the RTX 5060 debut.
Consumers and industry experts are eagerly awaiting confirmation on specific features, particularly the adoption of GDDR7 memory across the board, which would provide a significant performance boost, particularly over the GDDR6 standard used in current models like the RTX 4050.
These exciting advancements set the stage for a new era of gaming laptops, with blazing fast memory and top-tier graphics performance set to redefine what mobile gaming can achieve. Keep an eye on these developments as ASUS and NVIDIA push the boundaries of gaming technology further.
