AMD has officially introduced the Radeon RX 9050, a new entry-level graphics card built on its RDNA 4 architecture. The company is positioning the GPU as a budget-focused option for 1080p gaming, giving buyers a lower-cost way into its latest graphics lineup.
The main retail version of the Radeon RX 9050 comes with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and is priced at $279. That places it in the affordable end of the market, where pricing and memory capacity are key factors for players building or upgrading a mainstream gaming PC.
AMD is also offering a 4 GB version of the Radeon RX 9050, but that model will not be sold as a standard standalone card. Instead, the lower-memory variant is set aside for pre-built OEM systems, meaning it will mainly appear in desktops sold by system makers rather than through regular retail channels.
The launch follows earlier partner listings that pointed to both 8 GB and 4 GB versions before AMD made the announcement official. With the Radeon RX 9050, AMD is expanding its RDNA 4 range with a card designed to target entry-level 1080p users while keeping a clear separation between retail and OEM configurations.
