Leaked GTX 1050 specs unveil a Pascal card primed for 1080p

The card will boast a pixel fill rate of 42.1 GPixel/s, a 128-bit bus and a bandwidth of 112.1GB/s. That is if the GPU-Z screenshot displayed by the tech site is in fact genuine, of course.

Power (and price) efficient

TDP is expected to weigh in at 75W, so it’s nice and frugal as you might expect, and shouldn’t need to be plugged into your PSU.

Of course, we’ve already seen the launch of the GTX 1080 and 1070, followed by the more wallet-friendly GTX 1060 – and most recently, a few weeks ago, a cut-down version of the 1060 which has 3GB of video RAM (half the amount of the vanilla version) along with slightly less CUDA cores and a more affordable price still.
