RTX 5050 finally under six thousand! Save with a code on Alza and get DLSS 4.0 and frame generation

If you’re building a more affordable gaming rig and looking for the cheapest way to the Blackwell architecture, the Gigabyte RTX 5050 Windforce OC is on Alza for 5,931 CZK with code ALZADNY10 — currently the lowest price for an RTX 5050 in the Czech Republic. It’s a solid card for Full HD gaming with modern technologies like DLSS 4.0 and 4th-generation ray tracing. But before you click buy, read why it might be worth spending a little more.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you play on a Full HD monitor, don’t have a bigger budget, and want a card with current architecture, DLSS 4.0, and ray tracing support.
⚠️ Consider that for approximately 7,500 CZK, you can get an RTX 5060, which is significantly more powerful — if you have that extra budget, it’s a better investment.
💡 For 5,931 CZK, you get a Blackwell GPU with 2,560 CUDA cores, DLSS 4.0, 130W TDP, and a decent Windforce cooler with semi-passive mode.

What you get for that money

The RTX 5050 is an entry-level graphics card of the Blackwell generation with 2,560 CUDA cores, a boost clock of 2,587 MHz (15 MHz above the reference model), and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus. Compared to the older RTX 3050, it’s a huge leap — higher clocks, larger L2 cache (24 MB vs. 2 MB), and support for DLSS 4.0 with Multi Frame Generation. In practice, this means performance comparable to the RTX 4060 in most Full HD games.

Windforce cooling with Hawk fan technology and semi-passive mode (fans turn off at low load) keeps the card quiet and cool. A power consumption of 130 W requires a single 8-pin power connector. Compact dimensions of 199 × 40 × 116 mm mean the card fits into virtually any case. Outputs include DisplayPort 2.1b and HDMI 2.1b.

Honestly: is the RTX 5060 more worth it?

This is a fair question you need to ask yourself. The RTX 5060 costs approximately 1,500 CZK more and offers 3,840 CUDA cores (50% more), faster GDDR7 memory with 448 GB/s bandwidth, and significantly better performance at 1440p. If you plan to upgrade your monitor in the future or want a card that will last an extra generation, that premium is worth it.

On the other hand — if you have a Full HD monitor, don’t plan to replace it, and your budget is tight, the RTX 5050 for under six thousand will handle modern games at medium to high details with stable 60+ FPS. With DLSS enabled, you’ll get even higher. Just be aware that 8 GB of VRAM might be limiting in some more demanding titles — and Multi Frame Generation doesn’t always work reliably with 8 GB even at 1080p.

RTX 5050 for six thousand, or would you rather add for a 5060? What would you choose?
