the first of two videos today we are talking about and videos to new video cards that were announced officially as of now and those are the gtx 950 and 1050 TI both of which have been rumored for a little while but we've got finally got full real specifications the sm layout is the same as every other pascal architecture card that is in the g4 series obviously excluding the GP 100 pascal chip and they're on GP 107 but before we get into that this content is brought to you by an tech and the new cube mini ITX case built for HT pcs and portable gaming rigs learn more at the link below so this is a news announcement that means we don't have cards in hand and as far as I'm aware no one has cards in hand we should be getting them within days though if not tomorrow so today we're focusing entirely on specs review will be this week check back for that I'm not gonna be fluffing this content at all so a hundred percent specs here the GTX at 1050 TI first of all has an MSRP of $140 placing it in direct competition with some mid class rx 460 cards it is due out on October 25th and the GTX 10 at 50 will follow within a few weeks after two to three weeks we're told the 1050 Ti uses a GPU that operates on just 2g PC is the same as the GTX 1066 gigabyte and three gigabyte cards with three SMS / GPC on the gtx time at 50 ti each SMA hosts the usual 128 cuda cores per SM so nothing new here at all and then that's us 768 total CUDA cores in terms of performance scaling that mean the 1050 Ti operates on approximately 40% fewer CUDA cores than the GTX 1066 gigabyte model card with the usual 8 TM use per SM the 1050 Ti ends up with 48 total texture map units and 32 ROPS for reference to 1066 gigabyte card has a DTM use not quite double and 48 ROPS which will mean the difference between 1440p gameplay with higher ultra settings on a 1060 and something closer to 1080p on the 1050 Ti which is what the card is targeted at the stock clock of the gtx 750ti is listed as at 12:00 at 90 megahertz base with a boost up to 13 92 megahertz we were told by Nvidia that some of the AIB partner models may be able to overclock upwards of 1900 megahertz for the total clock rate will validate that independently once we've got cars that should theoretically actually be able to do that but with that overclocking example we were told these models use an additional power header so on that front of power headers the 1050 and the 1050 Ti both have a total board power draw at least by the spec we have from Nvidia of 75 watts that's without any crazy overclocking without any ancillary components on the the PCBs or the boards or whatever the board partners they may want to add so we're looking at a 75 watt TDP that means the coolers for the most part are going to be single fan coolers not gonna need more than that and it also means that in theory you can run on a power supply closer to 300 watts so that's finally becoming more of a reality that right now the 300 to 400 watt power supply market is largely saturated with garbage but that's hopefully going to change as the higher-end manufacturers do start entering the lower wattage space because we're just you don't need the high wattage power supplies anymore like you used to so that's good news for the market in general followers the rest of the trends were looking at as for a power supply connector to the video card that's really only gonna happen for cards that for whatever reason promised themselves to be major overclockers or for cards that I want to lighten the load on the PCIe bus no reference model will exist for the 1050 or 1050 TT I am looking into memory we see a reduction in data rate from a 1062 7 gigabits per second and for comparison the 1066 gigabyte operates at a kibbutz per second there are X 470 at 6.6 to 7 gigabits per second at the low-end and the RS 460 also around 7 gigabits per second so the 1050 TI's memory subsystem has it operating on a 128-bit memory interface and that's with 4 gigabytes of gddr5 note also that the gtx 750ti and 1050 and all the specifications were provided are on a 14 nanometer fabrication process this is part of Nvidia's already ongoing efforts of basically switching their supply between a 14 16 nanometer process based on availability between the fabrication options as for the GTX 1050 that's a $110 MSRP card $30 cheaper than the TI and in direct competition with MSRP for the rx 460 though we'll see where they both fall obviously and that's with comparable architecture to the 1050 Ti the GTX 950 non ti basically just kills one SM so it's the same card with AP or TM used 128 fewer cuda cores and the same rob so one less SM native clock rate is a bit higher at 13 54 megahertz or 1455 boosted and memory operates again at 7 gigabits per second with gddr5 this time the card is only available in a 2 gigabyte SKU and honestly for a card of this performance more than 2 gigabytes just doesn't make sense it wouldn't make sense to have a GTX 950 4 gigabytes Q anymore than it makes sense to have a 4 gigabyte rx 460 SKU and that's just because you're gonna become Rob's bound or limited somewhere else in the pipeline before the memory becomes an issue with these lower power cards and by power I mean performance in this instance so that's what we're looking at for the 1050 10:59 Ti is also 75 watts for the TDP and I will probably be on someone cooling solutions I don't know if any of them will try to venture into passive territory but I suppose it's possible because of the lower TDP it just depends on how they clock their cards and what kind of coolers thrown on there mostly AIB partner models are single fan coolers no extra power header from what we've seen though they can provide power through the PSU if desired by the partner and other than that we've got a couple coming in so we'll have reviews for you shortly as always thank you for watching patreon like the post roll video to help us out directly
