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 GB	GTX 1060 3 GB	GTX 1050 Ti	GTX 1050	GTX 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.

so the 1050Ti "would be" more or less a 950 with 4gig...

if it stay at 110 Euro in MSI it would be a better option than the 1060 3gig for small rig.

Oh, I foresee some outcry to make the lesser GTX1060 "match" the 4GB available to the lower-end model (and remove 3GB models).

Normal 2gb 1050gtx could be ok as a physx gpu if its single slot.

It would be better than a 950, dispite specs being similar, there was a couple of inovations with Pascal regarding memory compression and CUDA Core efficiency, so I do expect it to go bite the GTX 960 performance instead of the 950.
Will see

Only on nv side users will have 2 cards,one ofc for physxx.
Physxxx is already obsolete,Ageia was a good company long time ago.

After 1 year Gtx 960 & 950 is obsolete,another 1 year Gtx 1060/1050 will become obsolete.
Haters gona hate,but the milk is too expensive and the cow obsolete.

"Obsolete"

I have two friends that game daily on 750Ti's - none of them complain about the performance. Getting tired of seeing the same people post the same nonsense in every thread.

Well the way I see this is a GTX 950 with a bit of a clock and 2GB more vram.

of course with some new stuff

i expect that too from a Pascal GPU.

hmmm... well... i haven't see for now a gtx 950 that once OC doesn't bite (and even for some go ahead) a regular 960 despite being a cut off GPU...

Eh, begs the question where those 960/970/1060/1070 TIs are :bugeye:

You wont hear complains about the 750ti because it was a proper (budget) gaming card and served its owners well, the 950 already chokes after only 9 months since I got it in "well" optimized games, don´t defend it, it is garbage.

lol for some reason I always end up buying games that have HW physx, I didnt know about 3-4 recent buys

And 2 out 4 almost need separate card for it, Single gpu isnt efficient enough (driver and engine code) and choaks it with gpu usage drops.

Well 1050 is a low end card anyway and if its single slot I dont mind it in the case to play a game here and there..

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

@denial
He was posting that physx is obsolete, not the cards..

And i still dont understand why ppl would buy two separate cards (one for physx) instead of spending all on a (faster) single card.
Its not like all the newer games support it, and my i7 is faster and im using way less power than the 560ti (physx, 1070 as gpu) i used to bench it..

It would be nice to have a low profile single slot card.

Actually... no. i don't think PhysX is obsolete yet. Sure there are other engines that may be more suitable depending on what you are doing, but no.
PhysX is still being used in commercial engines in CPU mode powering games on mobile, consoles and PCs.

And an FYI, if you put a slow card in PhysX mode, the main super duper GPU will stall while waiting for the slow card to finish.
It'll sit there waiting, wasting time because the it doesn't have the solutions for the next frame.
