MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X 4 GB

[dont whant to set it"']

That high price of the Nv1050Ti is darn high beacuse here MRSP is dead(there was at least a period some time ago when prices of pc components were bang on the mrsp maybe with a5% on top at most).
After some time , playing on the GMA 510 of my Pentium G4400 and awaiting Nv's response to the RX460 ,here, both are dead in the water considering to upgrade for more graphics accelerating power, with a third option arising in the form of the Skylake i3 6320 with its fully fleged L3 cache[Ithink], highest clockspeed of th ai3's, twice the ExecutionUnists of an G4400, so on and so forth, but thats just me.
Also I'd be trading in my pentiumG4400, this being the strong point for this option;all of above 2cents a huge maybe.

W1zzard - could you update the Performance/Dollar charts and add new bars to reflect AMD's latest price drops on the 460 and 470? Great review as always. Very, umh, "interesting" card.

I'm already using 470 4 GB at $170 and 480 8 GB at $250. Which was the Newegg prices yesterday.

MSI have a pole up their arse when it comes to pricing - their cards across the Nvidia range are flat out extortionate.

Wait for a Palit Gamerock version to make it look like a gold plated colander.

Thanks, but I was actually referring to the $99 price for the RX 460 and $160 for the RX 470. It'd merely be "out of interest" to see what the effect would be, if any. Trouble with any card, as always, is whether you can actually buy one for the price they're advertised at. Thanks for the speedy reply.

Not interested in cards whitout vga suport unles some friend wont sel me gtx 950 for 80 euro
because the price for XFX rx480 is 321€, 470 298€, 460 150€ and msi 950 155€
and nvida is only good for old games.
My country is not in list in neweg but i think everything goes to Poland and then to other countries.
ps4 totaly suks.

I thought that if there were no Rx 400 series
How much we have to pay for
Gtx 1050(ti), 1060.

looks like the bios power target is limiting this card

What about RX 480 4GB?

It feels like we only have choice of two cards in the ≤€200 range: GTX1050 and RX470. The 1050ti is so close to the RX 470 it's silly.

 

[wrathchild_67]

The 470 is the better card in the price range, but the 1050 ti without a power connector can't be beat for systems that have strict power requirements. I'm currently running an Asrock X99 ITX board with a 65w 8 core Xeon and a Geforce 950 with no power connector. It's powered by a 160w Pico PSU and at full load the system draws 150w. I'd get a Radeon 470 if the power envelope was anywhere near the 1050 ti, or there was a higher wattage Pico PSU, but I'm stuck with 75w GPUs. I'll wait for pirces to settle and mail in rebates to start showing up on the 1050 ti before replacing my 950.

How did TPU arrive at the GTX 1050 Ti being 20% faster than a GTX 960? There aren't many reviews out there yet but the ones I've read have had them much closer (which is what I heard was going to be the case several weeks ago).

http://www.techspot.com/review/1269-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050/

They use a GTX 960 4GB vs the 2GB here, but I don't think it would make that much difference @ 1080p.

Here they are using a slightly overclocked card. 5-10% extra performance from that alone. Not to mention having external power delivery and better cooling means running at boast clock pretty much at all times vs reference model.

15% oc 8% gained, it may be throttling slightly due to hardware 75W limitation still present despite having 6 pin.. I'd rather wait see the move to GDDR5X . The same kind of improvement like GTX 650 Ti and 650 Ti boost, 5 months apart, the latter getting 192 bit bus, this time 10GBps instead of 7 GBps. And maybe second revision to hit 2.0 Ghz. Nice overall, 25% better than RX460 per sq.mm.

 

[kingkongtol]

no civ vi result?, would you add civ vi to your review? @W1zzard

 

[Melvis]

$140 hey? https://www.pccasegear.com/category/193_1862/graphics-cards/geforce-gtx-1050-ti LOL yeah right!

Performance is basically where I expected it to be, in between the 960/970 but that price, really? Australia gets ripped off again!

Just get a used GTX 970 for less...

 

[ZoneDymo]

So why is there not more of an outrage about this artificial overclocking limiting that Nvidia is pulling with the 1000 series?

Maybe this is the limit on the GPU, they look like they are oc already. I mean look at the freqs

 

[W1zzard]

Civ 6, Mafia 3, Battlefield 1 and Shadow Warrior 2 will be added in next rebench

 

[Casecutter]

The 1050ti is so close to the RX 470 it's silly.

 

[Frick]

I mean in price.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Well at least AMD know how the products line up, if MSI want to overcharge that is up to them.

Why on earth would they want to showcase this? All I see are gaps on AMD's side.

 

[ppn]

There needs to be only one card. Less gaps that way.
