Eighteen months after the announcement of video card GTX 1050, and 1050 GTX Ti NVIDIA has finally unveiled another model from this budget line. GTX 1050 3 GB promises to be a hit among gamers, who do not want to spend money on gaming PC.
The new graphics model is intermediate between the low 1050 GTX 2 GB of memory and more powerful Ti-model with 4 GB of memory type GDDR5. The volume of 3 GB will budget the new product to cope with most modern games even at high graphics settings.
However, not without downgrade: VRAM cut bus to 96 bits, compared with the 128-bit in the other two models. Bandwidth card decreased to 84 Gbit / s to 112 Gb / s.
But all is not so bad with the video chip. In the new model, it is similar to the performance of Ti-version. There 768 CUDA kernels (in younger GTX 1050 total 640), and the frequency of 1518 MHz (1455 MHz of the original). This compensates well trimmed bit memory bus.
On the NVIDIA website says about the performance boost of 10% compared to the GTX 1050 2 GB. The official price of the new card is not yet known. The original 1050 GTX sells for $ 140, and Ti-version - for $ 200. Most likely, the novelty will cost 160-170 dollars.
At the upcoming exhibition Computex 2018 NVIDIA partners in the face of ASUS, Gigabyte, EVGA and Zotac have to show their own versions of this card. GTX 1050 3 GB is perfect for a budget gaming at 1080p resolution with medium and high graphics settings.
