NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Released in 2016, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is an average card for gaming with a score of 1456 points.

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has 4 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 109 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 bits. When choosing a GPU, plan ahead and select a model with enough memory for your needs. High resolutions such as 4K require significantly more memory than 1080p as there is more data to display on the screen.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU core runs at a frequency of 1290 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1392 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.5 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 75 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
