NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
NVIDIA's GP107-based Pascal chip brought efficient 1080p gaming to the sub-$150 tier: 768 CUDA cores at up to 1,392MHz boost, 4GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus, and a 75W board rated to run entirely off the PCIe slot with no supplementary power connector. It launched alongside the non-Ti GTX 1050 on October 25, 2016, from board partners only.
Pros
- Draws its full 75W from the PCIe slot, no supplementary power connector needed
- 4GB of GDDR5 was generous for this price tier at launch
- 768 Pascal CUDA cores give efficient performance per watt for 1080p gaming
- Compact reference dimensions (2-slot, 5.7in length) suit small-form-factor and OEM builds
- Launched with a wide range of board partners (ASUS, MSI, EVGA, Gigabyte, Zotac, and others)
Cons
- No RT cores or Tensor cores, so no hardware ray tracing and no DLSS
- 128-bit memory bus and 112GB/s of bandwidth cap it at 1080p-class performance
- Only 768 shading units, well below higher-tier Pascal cards of the same generation
