Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 to get 768 shader cores and 128-bit memory bus

Published 2016-09-05 08:38 by Hilbert Hagedoorn

Within the line of expectation there is going to be a GeForce GTX 1050 released, it should be positioned against the RX 460 from AMD. New specifications have surfaced on the web.

The specs have been derived from a GPU-Z screenshot leaked through benchlife that shows pretty much all you need to know as on the rest we can do the math. The card will get 768 shader processors (similar to the GTX 950) and an expected 128bit-mem bus. Interesting though is that it has 4GB of memory, though I expect the normal models top get 2 GB of it.

The TMU count is a little off in the screen-shots. Typically you take the number of SMs and multiply them with 8 texture units, and that this would be 48 (over the 64 shown in the screenshot). The clock frequency is listed at 1316 MHz with a 1380 MHz boost.
