Gigabyte has overclocked the GPU under the G1 Gaming’s hood, pushing the base clock up to 1,367MHz, and the boost clock to 1,481MHz, while leaving the memory clock at the 3,504MHz stock speed. Unlike the others, connectivity includes three HDMI with one DisplayPort. There’s a back plate on this one, which is a nice touch considering the card’s budget-friendly price point. It’s covered in a fairly thick shroud, with two Windforce fans that will be familiar to Gigabyte owners. We also have the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1050 Ti. That’s good news if you have a small system, or a modest power supply.Īs said, we tested not one but four cards for this comparison. However, only one of our four review units took this option. Technically, board partners have the option of adding external power back to the card, a move that might improve the card’s overclocking potential. Cards that lack an external power source rarely prove quick enough for hardcore, or even casual, gamers. These cards all sport a 75-watt thermal design power, allowing them to theoretically pull all the power they need through a PCI Express 16x connection, ditching the need for additional power from your rig’s power supply. The upshot is power consumption which, in the case of these entry-level cards, has a dramatic impact. Pascal’s headline improvement is the move to a more efficient, 16-nanometer production process. Low power draw is good news for compact system builders. It’s likely that the GTX 1050 will be the least expensive card with Pascal for the duration of the architecture’s life. We’ve previously seen it in the GTX 1080, 1070, and 1060, all of which are more significantly more expensive. The GTX 10 Ti are the least expensive cards yet produced on Nvidia’s new Pascal architecture. Does the new mid-range GeForce card stand up on its own, or should you save up for something heftier? Budget cards with the latest hardware Since that’s the case, we rounded up a few versions of the card from Gigabyte, MSI, and Zotac. There’s no Founders Edition, and instead all versions of the card will be produced by board partners. Nvidia is running things differently with the GTX 1050 Ti release than it did with the GTX 10. However, during our GTX 10 Ti reviews we realized there was more to these cards than their budget price tags. Nvidia’s new GTX 10 Ti both slide onto shelves starting around $115 and $140 respectively, which should please anyone gaming on a budget. That’s the biggest question on any PC gamer’s mind when a new graphics cards hits store, especially if you’re currently rocking a card that can barely power Stardew Valley. Bill Roberson/Digital Trends The GTX 1050 sets the bar for budget video card performance.
