Why It Mattered

The RX 9050 product name covers materially different 8 GB and 4 GB configurations. This exact-model entry prevents benchmark and comparison data for the 8 GB card from being attached to the narrower 4 GB OEM configuration.

Known Issues

The same RX 9050 product name is also used for a separate 4 GB OEM configuration. Verify memory capacity, bus width, and bandwidth before treating a card or result as this 8 GB model.

Each figure is the median across the games listed, one result per game. Where a game was measured more than once, the least assisted run is the one counted, so the figure stays comparable with cards tested at fewer settings. The other runs are listed beneath it.
