1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:07,040
as is typical when a new line of graphics cards gets released there's

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:12,719
this immediate focus on high-end with NVIDIA pushing cards like the 1080 and

3
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:15,719
1070 as having unparalleled performance

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,720
while AMD's rx480 was supposed to be a

5
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:21,080
VR for the masses type product but what

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:26,720
about the humble gamer without a bottomless trust fund bank account who

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:31,199
just wants a solid 1080p experience let's have a look at NVIDIA's latest

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:41,229
offering for the blue caller members of the PC Master race the GeForce GTX 1050

9
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:51,559
TI Mast drop is currently featuring the infinti Ergo do split keyboard kit check

10
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:56,120
it out in the video description so the GTX 1050 TI is based off the same

11
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:02,000
passcal micro architecture as the rest of the GeForce 10 series but it uses the

12
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,360
new GP 107 GPU this is a bit of a change

13
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:10,320
from the GeForce 9 series where the GTX 950 just ran a cutdown version of the

14
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:14,759
GTX 960s GPU with the 1050 TI you get

15
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:18,479
768 cutic cores with a 1392 MHz on the

16
00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:21,560
Boost clock as well as 4 GB of GDDR 5 V

17
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:23,240
RAM running on a 128bit memory bus

18
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:27,840
although these cards aren't compatible with SLI you do get other GeForce 10

19
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:32,159
standard features like NVIDIA anzel for cool screenshots as well as support for

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:37,720
for directx12 and Vulcan for our benchmarks we got two flavors of the

21
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:41,759
card the Zotac GTX 1050ti mini and the

22
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:43,680
MSI GTX 1050 TI OC both Feature A Modest

23
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:50,079
Factory overclock with the Zotac running at 1417 MHz on the Boost clock and the

24
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:53,960
MSI running just a bit higher at 1455 both of these cards are small form

25
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:58,600
factor and don't require any power beyond what the motherboard's PC slot

26
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:03,360
can provide in fact in our Crisis 3 load test our system Drew less than

27
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:08,440
160 Watts from the wall in entirety while staying below about 60-ish de C

28
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:14,519
very interesting numbers if you're fighting size power or thermal limits in

29
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:16,800
your current system or are they to give

30
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:22,560
a real answer we of course need to look at performance in real games so here's

31
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:25,800
how our 1050 TI stacked up on our core

32
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,360
i7 6850k test bench that we use for all

33
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:32,319
of our testing to standardize our results and eliminate bottlenecks all

34
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:38,640
tests were performed at 1080p as this is a less powerful card that isn't really

35
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,800
aimed at users going for 1440p or 4K

36
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:45,000
starting out with the aformentioned Crisis 3 which is still a punishing

37
00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:49,680
title after over 3 and 1 half years the 1050ti performed quite well for a car

38
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:55,599
targeted squarely at the lower middle end of the market it managed frame rates

39
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,400
in the low 40s on very high presets

40
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:02,840
while bumping things down to high delivers a buttery smooth experience at

41
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,599
71 frames per second moving on to rise of the Tomb Raider the story was

42
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:12,040
somewhat similar with the 1050ti managing close to 60 FPS on high

43
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:17,360
settings while very high will set you back about 10 Frames Direct X2

44
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:22,200
unfortunately didn't help matters costing us a few FPS actually which has

45
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:27,159
been a recurring theme on the latest NVIDIA set of Hardware the much

46
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:32,560
anticipated Battlefield 1 played very nicely with both of our 1050 TI scoring

47
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:36,799
in the low 60s on ultra settings performance on the highest preset in

48
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Doom was similarly impressive with frame rates in the upper 60s but although

49
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:46,360
these numbers are quite good for a budget oriented 1080p focused card does

50
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:51,400
that necessarily mean the card is a good value well that depends on how you

51
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:56,519
define value if you go for strict dollars per frame analysis the GTX

52
00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:00,200
1050ti doesn't exactly come out looking

53
00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:01,560
that good as you can see on this graph

54
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:06,720
however many buyers looking for a graphics card in this price range mostly

55
00:04:03,799 --> 00:04:12,360
care about just smooth 1080p performance at respectable settings without any

56
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,959
dunking around and right now the $140

57
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:18,959
GTX 1050 TI is the cheapest card that

58
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:22,000
hits all these marks as it scored very

59
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:25,280
close to or above 60 FPS at high

60
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,800
settings in all of our games and scored

61
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:33,720
at least in the mid 4S or even higher at the max presets right now it's closest

62
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:40,479
competitor on the red team the $100 rx460 can't really say the same but then

63
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:43,000
40 bucks is a pretty big price Delta at

64
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:48,960
this end of the market however given that The Next Step Up performance- wise

65
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,199
is the rx470 at $50 more it seems like

66
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:55,360
the 1050 TI has a nice little spot carved out for it for the folks that

67
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:00,600
just want to come as close to possible to maxing out titles in 1080P for the

68
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:09,080
least amount of money a assuming that the actual prices line up with MSRP at

69
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,320
all as I discussed in detail in this

70
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:16,639
video so if you are in the market for a more budget oriented card it doesn't do

71
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:21,960
for PC gaming what you know like Doritos Locos Tacos did for the simulated

72
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:23,400
Mexican food market but it'll do thanks

73
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:29,000
for watching guys if this video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome and you're like whoa more cheap

00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,680
graphics cards yeah hit the like button get subscribed all that awesome stuff

75
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:36,919
check out the links the video description down below where you can buy stuff like these graphics cards or these

76
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,319
cool shirts or talk about things on the Forum like how we NVIDIA shells or like

77
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:46,000
how we're AMD shells or like how we're Intel shells or like how we're insert

78
00:05:44,039 --> 00:05:49,720
other brand here shells either of those would probably work uh if you want to

79
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,120
see another video check out this one which is on the

80
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:57,120
rx470 let's do that and I'll see you
