4GB video memory cards may be back on sale amid the ongoing memory crisis caused by the AI boom.
The Radeon RX 9050 is reportedly being developed in 4 and 8 GB GDDR6 versions. The information came after ASRock accidentally posted a page on its website of future models. Later AMD officially confirmed the existence of only the 8 GB memory version.
For the record, the last time a new 4GB memory card came out was about four years ago, when it was the Intel Arc A310, Nvidia GTX 1630, and the AMD Radeon RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT. They were priced between $99 and $199, but the RX 9050 is expected to be closer to the upper limit of this range despite its modest video memory.
