NVIDIA today introduced GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti, latest entry-level cards based on the company’s new Pascal architecture and is built on Samsung’s 14nm process. It has support for DirectX 12, Vulkan graphics APIs and consumers just 75 watts of power. Since these are entry-level cards, these are not VR Ready like the mid-range GTX 1060.
NVIDIA says that these cards can play today’s most popular games at a smooth 60fps. These are based on GP107 GPU and promise 3x performance increase over GTX 650, and slightly over 50% increase over GTX 750 Ti.
NVIDIA also says that the GTX 1050 Ti on average is 40% faster and more than 128% more power efficient than the closest competitive product at stock speeds.
