GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 770 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 770 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 in our tests.

Our database shows that 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: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 770 at 230 W. 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 770 over the GeForce GTX 1050.
