Notes on 8 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 9950X system; requirements vary with your configuration.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; power needs vary by system configuration.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Power connectors: Native input is one 8-pin; NVIDIA's 300 W+ PCIe Gen 5 PSU-cable option works via the in-box adapter.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, Power connectors: The card takes one 8-pin; a 300 W or greater Gen 5 (16-pin) PSU cable can be used with the in-box adapter.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Power connectors: Reference card takes one 8-pin (adapter in the box); some partner models use a 6-pin instead.
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, DisplayPort version: NVIDIA specifies UHBR20 on these DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.
  7. 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b outputs run at the UHBR20 link rate per NVIDIA's footnote.
  8. 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Hardware encode: Checked pages only confirm AV1 encode; H.264/HEVC encode is not stated.
