NVIDIA's entry-level GeForce RTX 4050 GPU has an interesting interface on laptops, making use of the M.2 interface instead of MXM. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU Features M.2 Interface Instead of MXM on Certain Laptops The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 is the most entry-level graphics card that you can get within the RTX 40 "Ada" lineup on laptops. The unfortunate thing is that the RTX 4050 never came to the desktop segment despite certain manufacturers showing readiness for this particular model. Currently, the NVIDIA RTX 3050 and its derivatives serve the entry-level segment in the sub-$200 US category but there's […]
