Geforce GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti Thread

[Sweepr]

Full Geforce GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti specs, courtesy of BenchLife.

1050 Ti (GP107-400) = 2.12 Tflops
1050 (GP107-300) = 1.86 Tflops

Should be faster than a 460 which will hopefully push prices down until a 460x makes an appearance

 

[Head1985]

1060 3GB is actually 1050Ti
1050Ti actually is 1050
1050 is actually 1040
Renaming it this way allows them to mark up the prices.This is what they have done.

Not first time and not even second time.This is NV strategy since kepler.

At those clocks it might even be slower than some of the aftermarket 460s (albeit with a power connector).

 

[raghu78]

The Rx 460 is going to be easily outpaced by the GTX 1050 in performance. The worst part is going to be the Rx 460 with 6 pin power connector will be slower than 1050 which will not need a PCI-E power connector. The power efficiency of Polaris is far lesser than Pascal. The Polaris chip will be able to compete in DX12 titles. But for overall performance across all APIs the GTX 1050 will be faster and vastly more efficient.

Hope the price is right on the 1050TI. Seems about the performance I am looking for. I only game at 1080p and dont really insist on highest settings or extremely high framerates. If the 1050TI slots in between the 470 and 460 for around 150.00, could be what I am looking for.

 

[SPBHM]

I'm guessing a stock 1050 ti is going to be a little bit faster (like 5%) than a 960 for DX11, and more for DX12.
the interesting thing is going to be OC, in any case the 460 4GB is not going to be able to compete in performance,

 

[Sweepr]

I like the fact that they are offering two different SKUs at $119 and $149. For the extra money you're getting a faster GPU as well as twice the VRAM. Very curious about the OCing capabilities of GP107, both with and without extra power connectors.

640 cuda cores is the 1050 for maybe $130.
The $99 GT1040 card would likely be rebranded 384 core Maxwell mobile GT940m.
The NVIDIA GeForce 940M is a mid-range DirectX 11-compatible graphics card for laptops unveiled in March 2015. It is based on Nvidia's Maxwell architecture (GM108 chip) and manufactured in 28 nm. The 940M offers 384 shader units as well as 2 GB of DDR3 memory (64 bit, 2000 MHz effective)
They might offer 2gb ddr3 as well as 1 or 2gb gddr5.Very lame but that's what sub $100 market is.

To be honest I'm not 100% confident on the source about this one. But if you look at 1050 (non Ti) specs above - clocks alone would make it considerably faster than the 1040. Price could be close ($99 vs $119).

I feel that this might be not the case... Also... It will be an awful miner and Pascal relies heavily on clocks instead of IPC.

I dont think so, there is also a GP108, that is likely to be the one used for GT1040/GT1030.

Not sure what they gona use for GT1010 and GT1020...

Higher power draw than the 750ti is disappointing. Although I suppose they are targeting the most they can get from a PCI slot.

Excited to see low profile versions.

 

[Sweepr]

First benchmarks out - Colorful GTX 1050 Ti:

It's basically at stock (only 9 MHz above BenchLife's leaked turbo clock). Looks very promising.

Here's older cards in comparison:

$149 XFX RX 460 Double Dissipation - 8597 pts

 

[Glo.]

I was working on low powered desktop computer for 1080p gaming, and I think I might have finally found low powered GPU that is powerful enough for it. Can it work without 6 pin connector, or is it required?

 

[happy medium]

I was wondering how the 1050ti 4gb with 768 cores @1350 boost will be faster than a gtx960 4gb that has 1024 cores and the same 1350 boost can be faster? They also have the same memory bandwidth @ 112 gbs.

More ROP's? the gtx960 has 32.

My 960 will boost over 1400 at stock while gaming and overclocks to over 1.5ghz.
That should beat a 1050ti easy.

I have a feeling the 1050 will be clocked much higher.

it seems the 1050 non ti has 768 cores.

It's worth noting that the graph Sweepr posted from Guru3D, was probably with a pseudo-reference 960. Since no actual reference model exists (except for some really rare ones from Best Buy I think), some sites simulate a reference model by limiting the clocks of an aftermarket model.

In Guru3D's review of the MSI 960 (which boosts to roughly 1350 MHz and is actually one of the slower models out there), they got a score of 10079 compared to the 9840 in the above graph.

The other issue is probably as you mention that the 1050 Ti boosts significantly higher than the reference boost clock. In fact if the 1050 Ti boosts to about 1700 MHz, which is of course the advertised boost for all the other Pascal cards released to date, then the numbers would match quite well. On the flipside the base clock in the GPU-Z screenshot matches up with the leak, so who knows.

 

[ElFenix]

$149 $145 shipped XFX RX 460 Double Dissipation - 8597 pts

or you could get the slightly faster sapphire 4GB card for $120 shipped after the coupon code that's in the item description. but if you want to waste $25 then go right on ahead.

I'm thinking a 1050 will have 768 cores and the 1050ti will have the full 1024 cores like the gtx960. But to make the cards faster than the original 950/960, mabe they will clock to 1.7

A gtx960 @ 1.7 A.K.A a 1050ti would be a fast card, I have mine @ 1.55 and its much faster than the benchmarks I see. At 1.7 it would be besting a 380X.

A 768 core 1050 should be 45 watts if they can squeeze a gtx950 under 75 watts.
A 1024 core 1050ti should be ~75 watts , the stock 960 was ~ 110 watts.


I think these leaks are BS or these cards will be a lot slower than we think.

Here is what these cards should look like.
2gb gtx1050 768 cores @ 1.55 and 1.7 boost @ 45 watts ,performance about = to a stock gtx960. ~$110
4gb gtx1050ti 1024 cores @ 1.55 and 1.7 boost @ 75 watts, performance about 25% faster than a stock gtx960.~150$

Both should overclock to 2ghz. With some AIB ti versions with a 6 pin plug.

 

[redzo]

In other news ... if true, quite the dumbest ideea in pairing this one with 4GB vram instead of the 1050ti wanna be(1060/3GB). I guess that it is all about keeping up the legacy.

I very much doubt the full GP107 has 1024 cores, that's just way too close to the 1280 cores GP106 has. It doesn't really make sense to design two different dies that are that close in specs.

The only way 1050 Ti having 1024 cores would make sense is if it uses a cutdown GP106 GPU, but all the rumours have pointed towards it being a GP107 GPU to my knowledge.

No it's all about bus width. You don't pair a 128 bit GPU with 3GB of VRAM, nor a 192 bit GPU with 4GB.

 

[vissarix]

to be fair im kinda disappointed by the gtx1050 ti performance..10k vs 17k of the gtx1060 is a huge gap.

the gtx950 once overclocked it went way ahead of the gtx960..
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_geforce_gtx_950_strix_review,30.html

but i guess price difference was closer on maxwell around $50 even less in most cases...now with pascal it should be around $100..

Yea you seem to be right, that is too close to the gp106.
The gtx980 had 2048 cores vs the 1060's 1280 cores yet they have the same performance.

It must be clockspeed, there is no way they will release a 768 core 1050ti with low 1.3 ghz clocks. It would be slower than the gtx960.
A 1050ti with 768 cores @ 1.6 boosting to 1.75 would beat a 960 by a bit.
The vanilla 1050 would be a bit faster than the 460.

If they release these cards @ 1.3 , they should be overclocking monsters.
BUt perhaps the missing 6 pin power connector kills the overclocking.

 

[tviceman]

If those benchmarks are legit, the 1050 TI of going to be 25% faster than the RX 460.
