GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1050 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 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 1050 and the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

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