NVIDIA Introduces GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti

[Becky]

NVIDIA has today announced two new additions to their Pascal-based GPU range - the GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti. Prices for the 1050 will start at $109 and it will be launched on or before 8 November 2016, and the 1050 Ti is expected to retail for $139 and will be released on 25 October 2016.

The GPU performance required to run a modern game at 1080p and 60fps with good quality settings has tripled for modern current generation games. So if you bought a GPU 3 or 4 years ago — such as the GeForce GTX 650 — and were able to play the latest games back then, you’ll find your graphics performance coming up short in today’s games.

With the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti, you’ll be able to play today’s most popular games at a smooth 60fps, while sipping a paltry 75 watts of power.

Out of the box the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti are both blazing fast, with the GTX 1050 Ti on average 40% faster and more than 128% more power efficient than the closest competitive product at stock speeds(1), demonstrating again the prowess of our Pascal architecture and GeForce GTX lineup.
