Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 (3GB) has a 96-bit memory bus
A little while ago we mentioned that there would be a new SKU released based on the Geforce GTX 1050, a 3GB version of the GeForce GTX 1050. The card should fill the gap between the GTX 1050 with 2GB and the GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB.
Back then I already mentioned that it would be interesting to see how that would work out memory controller wise. Nvidia just posted the full specs here. As you can see, the 3GB version is a real thing, there, however, is a significant change in the memory controller, it's 96-bit and that is a significant change, low-end and entry-level graphics cards are always very memory deprived in bandwidth. So you gain 1GB more memory, your memory bandwidth will drop by roughly 25% A good thing, however, is that the shader proc count and base clock has been increased a fair bit over the 2GB model.
Last but not least, very interesting is the fact that you could look at the product as a cut-down 1050 Ti really, as the 1050 3GB gets a bump on Shader processors, now at 768 shader processors (coming from 640 on the 2 GB 1050), straightening things out shaders wise at the level of the Ti model. Well, should we just call this a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 1GB cut away?
Many thanks, SH SOTH for the news-submit.

5 variants of any product is too many.
NVidia does an amazing job of publishing product specs. The only data they appear to leave out is the reference board power consumption. I wish AMD would provide even half the data that NVidia does.
Ah I never knew about there being a whole separate page for the OEM variants. Seriously though... the 640s had way too many.

Almost. There are few things which will deffer:
- 96bits + high clocked memory will keep latency while downclocked 128bit will likely have worse latency as that will stay same as before downclock
- in nV architecture TMUs kind of have their memory chips, it is possible that there will be some competition over access (similar to gtx970 before all those "optimizations").
It can really go both ways and maybe it will affect different workloads differently.
Still will be an interesting test no ? And yes i did not though about the timings about the boost on clocks the new 1050 will come well i think is safe to say that oc wise will be easy for any 1050 ti to be set on the 3gb's clock specs ((aside from memory ))
