GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti beats the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti over the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.
