Title: ASRock lists Radeon RX 9050 Challenger 4GB, a step down from the already cut-down 8GB card
Post by: Redaktion on July 28, 2026, 10:19:24
ASRock has listed a Radeon RX 9050 Challenger with 4GB of GDDR6 memory and a 64-bit bus, cutting bandwidth and capacity in half compared with the already limited 8GB model. Aimed at cost-sensitive markets amid tighter memory supplies, the card's pricing, availability, and power specifications remain unconfirmed.

It requires additional power via connector? Instant fail.

Even 8 GB is becoming more and more of an issue (see also Dave2D mention of it in his Steam Machine review): youtube.com/watch?v=ric7yb1VaoA "Gaming Laptops are in Trouble - VRAM Testing w/ ‪@Hardwareunboxed‬".
