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.

omg they have a pos 3g 1050 call the marines
I told you guys they are cry babies they seem to look at it as a threat or something.
that's the only way they can take shots they cant do it with hardware and they know it.
wasted time and money on hbm so the critters come out
does it have to be like that all the time
like 2 pages for a 1050???? 3g no less
good god ya'll
NVidia claimed the GPP was about transparency. Is NVidia going to ensure that the boxes for each GTX1050 model is transparent about the actual specifications of the card?
Not picking on NVidia here. I'd love to see actual specifications for EVERY graphics card clearly printed on the packaging.... Whether it's AMD or NVidia, makes no difference. The specifications for the product inside the box, should be clearly printed on the box.

Not so underpowered... the GTX1050Ti once OC is just below GTX1060 3g in most case, not bad for a 100Euro less GPU, and for the price you have 1 more gig.
Also the new GTX1050 3g is intended for casual gaming and entry level, i think it's a good move as the original GTX1050 is weaker than the GTX950 that it's intended to replace.
And stop crying about the memory interface:
- again it's entry level 64, 96, 128... it's more or less the same with those GPU.
- the bit is the "size" of the road the frequency is the "autorised speed", Why should NVidia would ever put a 4096 wide bus (as an exemple, there is no HBM GTX1050 of course) on such a GPU?
3118 overclocked vs 4285 stock in timespy, tell different class of cards:

http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/galax-kfa2-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-exoc-review,34.html
Also you should know that things like bandwidth are very prone to cause botlenecks, even in stuff as entry level as the gt 1030, so these kind of practices are lame:

more shaders. higher clock, more mem
should be AT LEAST as fast as the old 1050
someone remind me what are we crying about this time
