About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2016 with a MSRP of $139. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP107) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 1050 Ti has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,752 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 112.1 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTX 1050 Ti includes 768 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,291 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,392 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTX 1050 Ti occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The GTX 1050 Ti has the 186th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 9.03% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 9,453 score and $139 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 68.01. This is the 47th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2016. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP106) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 1060 Mobile has 6 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 2,002 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192.2 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTX 1060 Mobile includes 1,280 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,405 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,671 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 80 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The GTX 1060 Mobile has the 146th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 14.03% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
