NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 9 GB — Benchmarks & Specs

Short answer: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 9 GB generates 5.0 tokens/sec on gemma:26b (q4_0) under llama.cpp in a single cited run, per LocalLLaMA; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median.

Bottom line: how fast is the GeForce RTX 5050 9 GB?

At 1080p High, the GeForce RTX 5050 9 GB averages 158 fps in Rainbow Six Extraction with a 92 fps 1% low, per Club386. For local LLM inference it generates 5.0 tokens/sec running gemma:26b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per LocalLLaMA. In 3DMark Time Spy it scores 11,375 points, per 3DMark.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
