Today major PC hardware manufacturers such as MSI, NVIDIA, EVGA, and others have launched their new GeForce GTX 1050 graphics cards, officially unveiling their specifications and making them available to purchase worldwide later this month from October 25th onwards.
Nvidia explains a little more about the GTX 1050 graphics card and what you can expect from the processing power and capabilities.
Everyone deserves great gaming. That’s why we created the fast, powerful GeForce® GTX 1050. Now, you can turn your PC into a true gaming rig, powered by NVIDIA Pascal™—the most advanced GPU architecture ever created. It’s loaded with innovative NVIDIA Game Ready technologies that let every gamer experience the latest titles in their full glory.
GeForce GTX 10-series graphics cards are powered by Pascal to deliver twice the performance of previous-generation graphics cards, plus innovative new gaming technologies and breakthrough VR experiences.
Performance and Capabilities
The GeForce GTX 1050 series is designed to provide an affordable yet powerful option for gamers who want to upgrade their systems without breaking the bank. The GTX 1050 and its slightly more powerful sibling, the GTX 1050 Ti, are built on the Pascal architecture, which is known for its efficiency and performance. This architecture allows the GTX 1050 series to deliver impressive frame rates in popular games such as “Overwatch,” “Dota 2,” and “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive” at 1080p resolution.
One of the standout features of the GTX 1050 series is its low power consumption. With a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of just 75 watts, these cards do not require an additional power connector, making them an excellent choice for users with older or less powerful power supplies. This also means that the GTX 1050 series can be easily installed in compact or small form factor PCs, providing a significant performance boost without the need for extensive modifications.
Innovative Technologies
The GTX 1050 series is equipped with several innovative NVIDIA technologies that enhance the gaming experience. NVIDIA Game Ready drivers ensure that gamers have the best possible performance and stability in the latest games. These drivers are optimized for new releases, providing day-one support and performance improvements.
Another notable feature is NVIDIA Ansel, a powerful in-game photography tool that allows gamers to capture stunning 360-degree, HDR, and super-resolution screenshots. This feature is particularly appealing to content creators and gamers who want to share their in-game experiences with others.
For those interested in virtual reality, the GTX 1050 series offers a taste of VR gaming. While it may not be as powerful as higher-end GPUs like the GTX 1060 or GTX 1070, the GTX 1050 Ti can handle some VR applications, making it a versatile option for gamers who want to explore VR without a significant investment.
