We’ve seen a couple of leaks focused on Nvidia’s incoming GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti graphics cards in recent times, and now full details on these Pascal-on-a-budget offerings have been spilled courtesy of what appear to be official launch slides – including game benchmarks for the vanilla 1050.
According to the press slides, published by Videocardz (a reputable source of GPU-related leaks), both the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti will launch a week today (October 25) priced at $109 (around £90, AU$140) and $139 (around £115, 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.
The core specs are also given, with the GTX 1050 having 640 CUDA cores, with 2GB of GDDR5 video RAM on board and a TDP of 75W. The GTX 1050 Ti will sport 768 CUDA cores, along with 4GB of GDDR5 memory, and the same TDP.
How fast does it go?
Another slide (as highlighted by Neowin, which spotted the initial report) details 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).
