Geforce GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti Launch Thread ($109 / $139 - October 25th)

[antihelten]

"antihelten said: ↑
With the 1050 Ti at $140, the RX 460 and RX 470 (both 4GB) would have to be roughly $100 and $170, to maintain similar perf/$."

Nope, not happening.

AMD drops prices on the Radeon RX 460 and RX 470

"$99 and up for Radeon RX 460s, and $169 and up for Radeon RX 470s."

Good but how long until you can find one in stock for $170 without rebate?

From the link:

"Those new prices kick in this Sunday, October 23."

Yeah i read that but i meant i don't think we will actually see a $170 card right away. Maybe a month or two from now. Demand is still high so no reason to reduce prices for board partners.

Well, the price drop is being done in response to 1050/1050 Ti, so AMD would want the new prices to be in place before those cards launch (25th). Of course what AMD wants, and what will actually happen may very well differ.

That's seems to be right along what Nvidia is claiming. Basically based on those numbers a 1050 is about 0-5% slower than a 960, and based on the slide from Nvidia it is roughly 55-60% faster than a 750 Ti, which would also equal it being about 5% slower than a 960 (the 960 is about 60-65% faster than a 750 Ti).

 

[dark zero]

the 1050ti will be competing with itself. It fills the giant performance hole between the 460 and 470 also

rx 460 $100, gtx1050 $115, gtx1050ti $150, rx 470/gtx1060 3gb ~ $205
.

465 should appear soon since is full P11. That could be the opponent of 1050Ti

Actually we hace already the embedded versions...

Those are 14 CU GPUs, just like RX 460. The full Polaris 11 is 16 CUs.

This is after rebate, but I picked up a new MSI AIB RX 480 4GB for $165.

Am I reading that wrong? Because to me it looks like the 1050 is half the speed of the 960

full polaris 11 might be in mac pro. doubt we'll see it on PC yet. 480m or w.e

 

[VirtualLarry]

Ok, so... any half-height / low-profile cards announced in the 1050 / 1050ti series? Or am I left holding out for a 1040 or RX 450?

ignore onscreen, it's not running at the same resolution, offscreen is at the same resolution.

Dammit Nvidia, if you would only release open source drivers for linux i would probably grab the 1050ti, as it's in the golden spot of performance/efficiency that one would use for gaming in linux (barely any aaa titles in linux) while having a compact system. Now i'm stuck waiting for amd to release something in that 460-470 gap.

I simply don't care about the "open source" part. I install the closed-source drivers for Linux, and I'm happy.

Well it's not a good choice for a distro hopper like me who is also ideologically leaning toward more open systems.

If you are leaning towards the open system idea its a good idea to select Nvidea over AMD...

Take a 470, downclock it, play with power limit and you almost have a 1050Ti performance/watt

Why do you pretend that Pascal can't underclock/undervolt?

Well, there are no smallish pinless rx 470's and the overdrive stuff is not very well supported on linux, i think it's still in an experimental stage and only present in the >=4.8 kernel.

Still, if they won't release anything else, i might just go with an rx 470 eventually, because even though i do like the prospect of a small, efficient card like the 1050ti, i will not buy any nvidia cards until they open source their drivers on linux (probably won't ever happen).

Full reviews with power consumption and OC ability on cards with and without 6 pin power connectors will give a complete picture.
