Rumor: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 2GB and 1050 Ti 4GB

Rumor: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 2GB and 1050 Ti 4GB

Over in the Asian countries there's quite a bit of speculation on the GeForce GTX 1050. Apparently there will be two models released, the regular 1050 with 2GB graphics memory yet also a 1050 Ti with 4GB memory

According to benchlife the replacement series for the GeForce GTX 950 will be the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 with 2GB, this one would be based on a 640 shader processor en-counting GP107-300 Pascal-GPU. The second SKU would be the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, based on a GP107-400 Pascal based GPU with 768 shader processors. The acrds will be priced at 119 and 139 USD respectively. 
  

 GTX 1060 6 GBGTX 1060 3 GBGTX 1050 TiGTX 1050GTX 950
GPU GP106-400 GP106-300 GP107-400 GP107-300 GM206-250/251
Shader processors 1280 1152 768 640 768
TMU's 80 72 48 40 48
ROP's 48 48 32 TBA 32
GPU freq 1,506 MHz 1,506 MHz 1,290 MHz 1,354 MHz 1,024 MHz
Boost freq 1,709 MHz 1,709 MHz 1,382 MHz 1,455 MHz 1,188 MHz
Mem freq 2,002 MHz 2,002 MHz 1,752 MHz TBA 1,653 MHz
Mem size 6 GB GDDR5 3 GB GDDR5 4 GB GDDR5 2 GB GDDR5 2 GB GDDR5
mem bus 192-bit 192-bit 128-bit 128-bit 128-bit
TDP 120W 120W 75W 75W 90W/75W

 

The GeForce GTX 1050 would get you 1.9 TFlops of (single precision) performance with 2.2 TFlops for the GTX 1050 Ti model. Both cards would fit in a 75 Watt TDP and thus will not require an external power connector.

Of course better GPU is always better... but you really surestimate the PhysX computation's need...

*edit* PhysX take out job from CPU, even a 5** or 6** middle class serie do this special calculation faster than CPU, so why let it do this work while an old (obsolete lol) GPU can do it better.


well old q9450 might not, but 4770k was more then capable.


My point was physx is very cuda/ram bandwidth dependent and fast i7 with 35gb/s will faster then a 20-30GB/s vram gpu.


you can see it here 640gt vs 650gtx, one having slow ram other gddr5

Anyway, didn't really want to derail this thread with a addon physx gpu :grin:

Well there is a difference if someone expects too much out of a budget card like your 950.. Even 960 is meh.

It always was a far worse deal than several other entry level cards before the 760, of course it´s not surprise is choking this soon, I only got it because the 4gb 960 was too pricey and the 970 looked gimped too. It seems it was the smarter move because those cards are struggling in some of the latest games too... the only good maxwell card was the 980ti, every other segment was just too gimped and carried too hefty price tags around here. Obviously the problem is that nvidia these days is making entry/medium level cards too slow compared to the big chip, and too pricey. Bang for buck vs. console is at it´s lowest ever, today €300 cards barely perform good at the same resolution than 3 year old consoles, but when previous console gen was two years old and despite having high end hardware at launch, $80 bucks would give you 50% better frame rates at 50% higher resolution (aka hd4670)

As for the 750ti still being good for some people, it´s only because they are not asking much at this point in time, I mean seriously an overclocked 950 is like 60-70% faster and already has problems.

I see this PhysX talking like every release of low end nvidia cards, but dispite batman Arkham Knight that actually have GPU smoke and stuff like what, what recent games have GPU PhysX?

I mean, there are tons of games with basic PhysX stuff exclusively processed by the CPU, like cloth and basic ragdoll stuff, but apart from that almost no game do use GPU PhysX nowadays!

Its better to have a very fast card for a dedicated gpu physx ..so there is no lag and the main gpu waiting on cycles..the more cores the better
But yeah gpu physx seems far and inbetween these days as most physx are on the cpu..i have a gtx 680 for a physx card if i need it..most games use havok physx

not at all, PhysX is not a huge work if you do only that on the GPU, even a 740 2gig is far than enough in 99% of the case.

most of the time issue are due to misconfiguration (ex: select "auto" instead of "dedicated" for the GPU)

and/or driver issue like fermi and maxwell mixed on W10 (now solved btw) or modded driver (using tesla as phyx card for gaming... solved too :) ).

There was a video on youtube about it. They pitted different card combos and measured performance. Can't remember the channel, there are a crap load now, but if you search for multiple card physx or something like that i'm sure you'll find it.

Wikipedia has a list of GPU physX games. I think everything now can pass to the gpu? via the driver? I mean you don't have to explicitly set it to go to the GPU when making the game.
Sure if you want a crap tonne you may want to do that.
