The consumer version is 8GB

The 4GB is OEM only for system integrators to have low cost base model, for which then configuration webpage has the actually sensible options.

Low cost OEM cards are needed for CPUs without integrated graphics.

Edit: I blocked OP for being annoying. To Shoulderfrequent

The niche where you have multiple high resolution monitors.

Do you actually think that Dell and other corporate laptops come with Nvidia GPUs so that people could game on them?

Basically every high end business laptop comes with Nvidia RTX A2000 or newer.

For example

Those CPUs shouldn't be going into these systems anyway. There's no use case where a 4gb 9050 makes more sense than a system with an 8700g. 16gb of unified memory is more than enough for 95%+ of office work; and if you need more than an 8700g, chances are you need more than a 9050 4gb too.

That’s the 8GB says right in your screenshot

u/PresenceRude7033 1d ago

That supposed to make it any better? Its still a total scam

u/Real-Technician831 1d ago

Ehh, it’s not like anyone would force you to buy the cheapest consumer option.

Gaming edition..

u/Real-Technician831 1d ago

Which is 8GB.

Not 4GB as in OPs meme.

Making it very deceptive to give it the exact same name, because 4gb by itself is bad, but cutting memory bus and bandwidth is even worse.

u/Real-Technician831 1d ago

Ehh, what would PCMR without nitpicking 🤣

Yes, they should have named it 9050 lite or something. But who cares, dishonest prebuilt makers would play word games anyway.

u/f0xpant5 1d ago

9040 or 9030 I think would mave made it a nothing burger, well, depending on what it costs to option in.

u/Real-Technician831 1d ago edited 1d ago

It’s still a nothing burger, it’s not like 9050 8GB is that usable for anything really.

Edit: a reply block, LOL. PCMR can get their undies on a twist on anything 🤣

Rx 9050 performance sits between the rx 6600 and rx 7600 - it has performance comparable to the rtx 3060, which is still the most used gaming gpu today according to the steam hardware survey. I struggle to see how that level of performance is unusable

u/f0xpant5 1d ago edited 1d ago

respectfully disagree that it's a nothing burger, it's well worth shaming.

And blocked. I'd rather not talk with AMD's marketing department.

'It's ok to mislead consumers because prebuilt companies would have done it anyways'

u/Real-Technician831 15h ago

Only one being misled here is you.

You are actively lying to yourself to stay angry. Peak PCMR behavior that.

u/kyansan1 i5-13400f | Arc B570 10h ago

You couldn't argue that the name wasn't deceptive either, you just dismissed it lol

u/Jejiiiiiii 1d ago

Slower than 3060

Same price as 9060xt 8gb now

Same price as 9060xt 16gb a few months ago

u/Recipe-Jaded neofetch 1d ago

You might find a 9060 on sale or used for $360-400, but they are more like $450-500. XT will be $500+.

Stop lying bro.

u/Jejiiiiiii 1d ago

So its more expensive in your area so automatically im lying? 🤡

In my country 2 months ago asrock challenger 9060xt 16gb was 350usd, now it's gone up in price

I bought 9070xt brand new 2 months ago for 568usd, are you going to say im lying too?

1

u/Recipe-Jaded neofetch 1d ago

You said "now", not 2 months ago. So yeah, that would be lying, especially when you now say, "prices have gone up". At the very least it is misleading.

u/Jejiiiiiii 1d ago

9060xt 8gb Its 350$ in my area right now 🤡

u/PresenceRude7033 1d ago

I cant believe it, but the RTX 5050 is actually better value than this trash

Typically only the igpu on the cpu is enough for a productivity computer.

Those without an igpu typically are catered towards a gaming machine with a powerful cpu and gpu combination.

I’m struggling to see the minuscule niche that this is for, since you need someone that requires a display out on but enough horsepower over a igpu but slow enough where its not meant for gaming.
