NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 Now Available
NVIDIA announced retail availability of its GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 graphics cards. Targeting two key sub-$200 price-points, and positioned as gateways to competitive e-Sports gaming, the two chips compete with AMD Radeon RX 460 and RX 470, and exploit a vast price/performance gap between the two. The GTX 1050 Ti starts at USD $139.99, while the GTX 1050 starts at $109.99. Since there are no reference-design cards, all cards available from today are custom-design implementations of all shapes and sizes.
The GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 are based on the new "GP107" silicon, NVIDIA's first built on the 14 nm FinFET process. Both chips are implementations of NVIDIA "Pascal" architecture. The GTX 1050 Ti features 768 CUDA cores, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 4 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 128-bit wide interface. The GTX 1050, on the other hand, features 640 CUDA cores, 40 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 2 GB of GDDR5 memory across the 128-bit memory bus. Both cards have their TDP rated at 75W.

5 Comments on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 Now Available
1 GTX 1050 in stock, $109.99 (right on target MSRP)
1 GTX 1050 Ti in stock, $139.99 (right on target MSRP)
5 more GTX 1050 Ti card in stock, $144.99 - $169.99
So most of the cards are over MSRP on launch. Business as usual.
On the other hand, shareholders will have your head if you don't at least try to milk it while you can ;)
I'm thinking of those cheapies one can get for about £30-50. I suspect we won't as this is IGP territory nowadays. I would have liked to have one as a spare test card and for comparing to my 1080.
