GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 965M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti beats the GeForce GTX 965M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 965M has a slightly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is better than the GeForce GTX 965M.
