Store-bought personal computers are not usually known for having the best gaming setup that players can ask for. Prebuilt units invariably come with performance issues, which makes custom-built PCs superior. However, Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti might just change that by at least giving factory rigs some graphical advantages and the sweet factor of affordability.
The two new graphics cards from Nvidia are primarily aimed at low-end PC customers who want awesome gaming experiences without burning a hole through their wallets, PC World reports. A huge reason for this lies with the card eating up only 75W/hour, which makes it cheaper to build. As a result, the GTX 1050 will cost only $109 while the 1050 Ti will cost $139, which is a modest difference.
In terms of performance, the cheaper card will be a 2GB GPU with 640 CUDA cores. It clocks at 1,354MHz, though that number can go up to 1,455MHz.
The Ti, on the other hand, is a 4GB beast that sports 768 CUDA cores. This allows it to have a low 1,290MHz performance and a high 1,392MHz. Since both cards are based on the Pascal designs by Nvidia, they will also come with goodies like multi-resolution shading, simultaneous multi-projection, and Fast Sync.
As for how the GPUs will perform in gaming, Nvidia claims that the GTX 1050 offers three times better performance than the GTX 650 and is also expected to outperform the GTX 950. So any gamer who is still rocking one of last gen’s best GPUs will know exactly what to expect from the 1050.
Finally, both cards are also expected to offer an excellent gaming experience at 1080p and 60fps, PC Gamer reports. This might not apply to some of the most performance-hungry AAA titles in the market at Ultra settings, but at those prices, more than a few gamers will likely get the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti.
