00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:07.040
as is typical when a new line of graphics cards gets released there's

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:12.719
this immediate focus on high-end with NVIDIA pushing cards like the 1080 and

00:00:09.559 --> 00:00:15.719
1070 as having unparalleled performance

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:18.720
while AMD's rx480 was supposed to be a

00:00:15.719 --> 00:00:21.080
VR for the masses type product but what

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:26.720
about the humble gamer without a bottomless trust fund bank account who

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:31.199
just wants a solid 1080p experience let's have a look at NVIDIA's latest

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:41.229
offering for the blue caller members of the PC Master race the GeForce GTX 1050

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:51.559
TI Mast drop is currently featuring the infinti Ergo do split keyboard kit check

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:56.120
it out in the video description so the GTX 1050 TI is based off the same

00:00:53.840 --> 00:01:02.000
passcal micro architecture as the rest of the GeForce 10 series but it uses the

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.360
new GP 107 GPU this is a bit of a change

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:10.320
from the GeForce 9 series where the GTX 950 just ran a cutdown version of the

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:14.759
GTX 960s GPU with the 1050 TI you get

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:18.479
768 cutic cores with a 1392 MHz on the

00:01:14.759 --> 00:01:21.560
Boost clock as well as 4 GB of GDDR 5 V

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:23.240
RAM running on a 128bit memory bus

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:27.840
although these cards aren't compatible with SLI you do get other GeForce 10

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:32.159
standard features like NVIDIA anzel for cool screenshots as well as support for

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:37.720
for directx12 and Vulcan for our benchmarks we got two flavors of the

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:41.759
card the Zotac GTX 1050ti mini and the

00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:43.680
MSI GTX 1050 TI OC both Feature A Modest

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:50.079
Factory overclock with the Zotac running at 1417 MHz on the Boost clock and the

00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:53.960
MSI running just a bit higher at 1455 both of these cards are small form

00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:58.600
factor and don't require any power beyond what the motherboard's PC slot

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:03.360
can provide in fact in our Crisis 3 load test our system Drew less than

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:08.440
160 Watts from the wall in entirety while staying below about 60-ish de C

00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:14.519
very interesting numbers if you're fighting size power or thermal limits in

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:16.800
your current system or are they to give

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

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:25.800
how our 1050 TI stacked up on our core

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:27.360
i7 6850k test bench that we use for all

00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:32.319
of our testing to standardize our results and eliminate bottlenecks all

00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:38.640
tests were performed at 1080p as this is a less powerful card that isn't really

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.800
aimed at users going for 1440p or 4K

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:45.000
starting out with the aformentioned Crisis 3 which is still a punishing

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:49.680
title after over 3 and 1 half years the 1050ti performed quite well for a car

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:55.599
targeted squarely at the lower middle end of the market it managed frame rates

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:57.400
in the low 40s on very high presets

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:02.840
while bumping things down to high delivers a buttery smooth experience at

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.599
71 frames per second moving on to rise of the Tomb Raider the story was

00:03:04.519 --> 00:03:12.040
somewhat similar with the 1050ti managing close to 60 FPS on high

00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:17.360
settings while very high will set you back about 10 Frames Direct X2

00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:22.200
unfortunately didn't help matters costing us a few FPS actually which has

00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:27.159
been a recurring theme on the latest NVIDIA set of Hardware the much

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:32.560
anticipated Battlefield 1 played very nicely with both of our 1050 TI scoring

00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:36.799
in the low 60s on ultra settings performance on the highest preset in

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:40.680
Doom was similarly impressive with frame rates in the upper 60s but although

00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:46.360
these numbers are quite good for a budget oriented 1080p focused card does

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:51.400
that necessarily mean the card is a good value well that depends on how you

00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:56.519
define value if you go for strict dollars per frame analysis the GTX

00:03:53.519 --> 00:04:00.200
1050ti doesn't exactly come out looking

00:03:56.519 --> 00:04:01.560
that good as you can see on this graph

00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:06.720
however many buyers looking for a graphics card in this price range mostly

00:04:03.799 --> 00:04:12.360
care about just smooth 1080p performance at respectable settings without any

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:15.959
dunking around and right now the $140

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:18.959
GTX 1050 TI is the cheapest card that

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:22.000
hits all these marks as it scored very

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:25.280
close to or above 60 FPS at high

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:27.800
settings in all of our games and scored

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

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:40.479
competitor on the red team the $100 rx460 can't really say the same but then

00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:43.000
40 bucks is a pretty big price Delta at

00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:48.960
this end of the market however given that The Next Step Up performance- wise

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:51.199
is the rx470 at $50 more it seems like

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:55.360
the 1050 TI has a nice little spot carved out for it for the folks that

00:04:53.360 --> 00:05:00.600
just want to come as close to possible to maxing out titles in 1080P for the

00:04:57.880 --> 00:05:09.080
least amount of money a assuming that the actual prices line up with MSRP at

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:11.320
all as I discussed in detail in this

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

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:21.960
for PC gaming what you know like Doritos Locos Tacos did for the simulated

00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.400
Mexican food market but it'll do thanks

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

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

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:41.319
cool shirts or talk about things on the Forum like how we NVIDIA shells or like

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

00:05:44.039 --> 00:05:49.720
other brand here shells either of those would probably work uh if you want to

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:54.120
see another video check out this one which is on the

00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:57.120
rx470 let's do that and I'll see you

00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.120
next time
