AMD Radeon RX 9050 spotted with just 4GB VRAM amid rising component costs

·1 views

A listing for an AMD Radeon RX 9050 graphics card with only 4GB of VRAM has appeared on ASRock's website, marking a return of low-VRAM GPUs in the modern era. The card is built on AMD's RDNA 4 architecture and features a 64-bit memory interface, 16 compute units, and a boost clock of up to 2,600MHz. ASRock simultaneously launched an 8GB variant of the same card, giving buyers a choice between the two configurations. The reappearance of 4GB graphics cards is being driven by rising RAM prices and ongoing component shortages pushing overall tech costs higher. Despite the limited VRAM, the card is expected to support newer features such as AMD's FSR 4 upscaling technology.

The decision is driven by a European law, set to take effect in February 2027, that will mandate user-replaceable batteries in consumer electronics. Logitech's new gaming head, Robin Piispanen, confirmed the regional split strategy.
