Nvidia has officially announced the price and launch date for its incoming GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti graphics cards – and we’ve seen the first game benchmarks for the former Pascal-on-a-budget offering.
Both the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti will launch a week today (October 25) priced at $109/£115 (around AU$140), and $139/£139 (around AU$180) respectively. That’s even cheaper than the previously rumored $149 for the latter, which will doubtless give AMD plenty of food for thought.
As for the core specs, the GTX 1050 boasts 640 CUDA cores, with 2GB of GDDR5 video RAM on board and a TDP of 75W. It won’t need hooking up to your power supply, so there’s no external power connector.
The GTX 1050 Ti will sport 768 CUDA cores, along with 4GB of GDDR5 memory, and the same TDP.
How fast does it go?
Nvidia also provided some GTX 1050 benchmarks for popular games running at 1080p, with the graphics card being partnered with a Core i5-4670K processor (presumably with no overclocking).
In Overwatch at high settings, the card managed to clock an average of 63 frames per second (fps), which is above the magic 60 fps mark for nicely smooth gameplay at full HD.
