A recent EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) filing from Zotac has been spotted, listing an RTX 5050 graphics card among other upcoming models. While EEC filings are notorious for including unreleased or even entirely fictional products, this particular entry has caught our attention due to the lack of prior rumours or evidence suggesting the existence of such a GPU.

The filing itself lists a range of confirmed SKUs, including the RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070. We also know that the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti are expected to launch within the next two months. However, the RTX 5050 remains a complete mystery.

This raises the question: could there be some truth to this listing? It's certainly possible. Nvidia is expected to transition its entire production to Blackwell GPUs soon, which could eventually lead to the Ada models disappearing from the market. If that happens, even the RTX 4060 wouldn't fill the entry-level segment in the GeForce lineup. Considering the relatively high pricing of the RTX 50 series so far, it's unlikely the RTX 5060 will hit the £300 price point.

This would leave a gap in Nvidia's portfolio, particularly in the price-sensitive market segment where Intel's Arc Battlemage B580/B570 GPUs are positioned. An RTX 5050, potentially a heavily cut-down variant with 8GB of RAM, could be Nvidia's solution in this segment.
