GTX 1050 & 1050ti Specs - What Will This Mean for Entry Level Gaming?

2016-10-18
the GTX 1050 and 1050 TI have just been announced with the release date set for october 25th and the 1050 comes in at a hundred and nine dollars and the 1050 TI coming in at a hundred and thirty nine dollars though what is this spell for the entry-level PC gaming market let's take a look welcome to tech city this is brian coming to you guys today with a discussion on the gtx 1050 and 1050 TI now getting straight into the chase here the 1050 is coming in with 640 cuda cores sporting a clock speed of fourteen hundred and fifty five megahertz now it does have a two gigabyte frame buffer and i know a lot of people are going to be concerned about this they want to see it some mainstream titles at 1080p like overwatch or water warcraft for instance this game should be plenty enough to play those titles and at $109 honestly it is going to hit pretty hard for the entry-level market the one thing that does concern me is that pricing is it going to stick to $109 straight off the get-go as we've seen in previous launches of the graphics cards they have come over retail pricing so that is a little bit of a concern there and then moving on to the 1050 Ti we have 768 cuda cores with a clock speed of thirteen hundred and ninety two megahertz though this time around this does have a 4 gigabyte frame buffer which is kind of interesting considering the GTX 1060 only has a three gigabyte buffer that's the entry-level 1060 as opposed to the 6 gigabyte 1060 and that card comes in at $200 so it's interesting where they place the 1050 Ti though NVIDIA has said that the clock speeds should be able to go up to around 1.9 gigahertz possibly even more the one thing that probably concerned people is the memory bus at 128 bits wide they're going to be a problem for the 1050 Ti and actually don't think it will be considering the GTX 1060 the six key wave version has only 192 there and that didn't really have any problems in regards to gaming so I don't think the 1050 GI should come in to any performance issues due to that 128 bit wide boss there on the memory which means that both these graphics cards will be substantially better than their predecessors both the 750 Ti and the 950 another good thing is that it doesn't have a power connector onboard which means it'll use up to 75 watts meaning that you can just put it on a motherboard from the PCA and it'll draw power straight from there so in other words you can chuck it in one of those om desktop PCs off eBay that you can pick up for cheap or wherever you can pick it from plug it in and you should have a pretty decent gaming PC for the money though another thing I wanted to talk about is what this is gonna spell for the market in general hopefully we can see that rx 470 come down to the hundred and $49 price point with a foggy buy a frame buffer and some kickass performance and a hundred and forty nine dollars that card would absolutely kick ass now I recently reviewed the rx 460 and it was a little bit better than the 750 Ti though it was competing with the 950 so I think the RX 460 is kind of gonna get left behind by the 1050 in the 1050 Ti which is unfortunate for AMD though if they do bring the price down of the RX 470 then it could be an awesome thing for the market in general and me personally I would love to pick up an rx 470 especially in a used meets new build and what I could do with that for price performance it would be incredible also some Augmented things with this graphics card is you won't be out of SLI them or at least not to my knowledge so don't expect to go out and buy two of them and get double the performance because that's just not going to be happening also if you're already on a gtx 960 4 gigabyte for example then don't really expect to upgrade and get better performance because that grabs card is gonna be similar in performance to the 1050 Ti in my opinion so it's really not going to be an upgrade path for a lot of people who have sort of those mid-range cards from the previous generations of graphics cards anyway guys if you liked this video then please hit that like button also let me know in the comment section below are you going to be going out and getting a gtx 1050 or 1050 TI or if not do you think this card is gonna shake off the market a little bit we'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions and I'll catch you in the next Tech video very soon peace out for now bye
