NVIDIA Readies Two GeForce GTX 1050 Variants

[btarunr]

NVIDIA is preparing not one, but two variants of the GeForce GTX 1050 mid-range graphics cards. The two will launch in October 2016, beginning with the faster GeForce GTX 1050 Ti around mid-October, and the cheaper GeForce GTX 1050 (non-Ti) some time in late-October. Both SKUs will be based on the new GP107 silicon, with the GTX 1050 Ti maxing it.

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is expected to be endowed with 768 CUDA cores, 48 TMUs, and 32 ROPs; with clock speeds of 1290 MHz core, 1382 MHz GPU Boost, and 7.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. This SKU will feature 4 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 128-bit wide memory interface. The GTX 1050, on the other hand, will feature 640 CUDA cores, 40 TMUs, an unknown number of ROPs, 1354 MHz core, 1455 MHz GPU Boost, and just 2 GB of GDDR5 memory across the chip's 128-bit memory interface. The GTX 1050 Ti could target the $150 price-point, while the GTX 1050 could take aim at $120.

That's all that is still needed for the Pascal stack is entry level GPUs. With the 1080 Ti on the way there will be a Pascal for everyone that wants one.

I'd like a low profile version, but vendors don't seem interested in that standard any more

This. I'd buy at least 5 of these straight away for my friends Dell SFF PC's.

In my book, these are the low-end. Anything lower than these, starts competing with iGPUs.

You call the 1050/1050 Ti low end and I call them entry level for discreet GPUs. Same thing. Now with these coming and the 1080 Ti that should wrap up the Pascal stack.

Hahaha these will compete with the RX 460, and the RX 460/1050/`050 Ti are like 2x stronger than the strongest Iris graphics that cost a fortune. Over standard integrated they are 4-5x stronger.

just get a raiser cable. with a bit of trickery, you can fit a full height gpu just fine.

Yeah, nvidia can slap full fat gp104 to low profile tesla P4 and keep it under 75W(5.5Tflops thus 1GHz core and probably 75W), but don't expect them to offer such a card with reference geforce's... Quite sad isn't it.

Low profile market is let to AIB's play field. Zotac had low profile gtx750tis and galax/kfa² had low profile gtx950s. I'm quite sure that some AIB will deliver and release gtx1050/ti as low profile, it just might take lot of time after official release. On amds side Sapphire is the one which used to offer low profile cards in the past, but I think the last one from them was slow R7-250. I'm quite surprised they haven't released low profile RX 460.

I need benchs and benchs only. 1050 TI around 150 then it will cost 200-250 euros

Nah, quite unlikely. "gtx1060" 3GB costs that much in euros. Well of course if there's no stock then it will be quite expensive at start, but I don't believe you can't get one well under the price of cheapest "gtx1060" 3GB. Or if you would you will be quite stupid to actually buy one over the "gtx106.....

1050ti should have 960 cores from gp106 on 128bit.
Its to weak with 768cores

There is quite a gap between the 750ti and the typical iGPU. the 1050ti is going to be faster then the 750ti by a significant margin, yet the newest iGPUs are, what, 5% faster then the old ones?

 

[Steve1080]

Wondering if GT 1010 ever exists. LOL

 

[bug]

As it should be. There's no point in adding a dGPU if it's only 10% faster then the iGPU, is it?

well, this shall be interesting..

Woah, you're right, right now in my country 1060 3gb, cheapest comes from 195 euros (gainward, palit, KFC) but again those are in smallest and unknown shops. When come shops with good reputation and MSI/Asus/Gigabyte/Zotac then it comes 245+ and 6GB starts at 271 damn... , so yeah. GTX 1050 TI will cost in shops with good rep around 210-220 and known brand .

I don't want to know how much will cost 1080 TI if 1080 cheapest comes from known shops 671 euros and that is referencal nvidia cooler....

Maybe if they named those Nvidia 1080Ti cards the Founders Edition, you would feel the price is justified? I thought that Volta would be here next summer, but it looks like Nvidia is far from taking Milkwell to it's maximum earning potential.

I wait for the mobile version of 1050 - will be perfect for an all-round laptop.
