4GB graphics cards are back
The Verge·July 28, 2026
She reports that a modern GPU with 4GB of VRAM has been released, as rising RAM prices and component shortages drive up tech costs. The AMD Radeon RX 9050 with 4GB of RAM was spotted on ASRock's website, alongside an 8GB version of the same model. The 4GB RX 9050 features AMD's RDNA 4 architecture, a 64-bit memory interface, and a boost clock speed of up to 2,600MHz. This configuration may still support new features like FSR 4, despite its relatively low VRAM capacity.
