TL;DW:
Nvidia's RTX 5050 is a waste of your time, money, and trust as a tech consumer and PC gamer.

Please consider buying a used GPU on Ebay, Kijiji, or anywhere else you can as you will get a much better deal than this.

As a monopoly with 92% marketshare, Nvidia is actively choosing to deceive consumers to buy whatever they're selling.

AMD CPUs and GPUs are great.

Nvidia wants you to buy a new gpu every year, so they are trying to force this AI (ML) upscaling/frame gen horseshit into games so they can sell you a new "improved" version with a new GPU generation.
