Nvidia Pascal Reviews [1080XP, 1080ti, 1080, 1070ti, 1070, 1060, 1050, and 1030]

Techpowerup put a custom 1050 11% faster than 460 at 1080p though the nvidia card has 2GB compared to 4GB on AMD's. If 1050 are restricted to 2GB cards or priced the same as 460 4GB, it's better to get the AMD card.

edit: Just saw that they include No Man's Sky as well where the MSI 1050 is a massive 36% faster than the 460 so it's already a single digit percentage difference realistically.

There are no reference designs of the 1050, I think..... and also the overclock on the techpower up review is like 5%

MSI for that kind of overclock pricing is messed up, you can find others that aren't priced like that.
 
It is late but just a quick analysis summary between Samsung and TSMC with regards to Nvidia.
In normal operation looks like 1060 6GB hits around 1804MHz-1850MHz with 1.04V.
The 1050ti in normal operation hits around 1760MHz-1795MHz with 1.075V.
Context is custom AIB cards.

Interestingly Tom's Hardware says that changing the power target makes no difference to the power drawn even with the auxiliary 6-pin connector, still only draws just under 75W.
So looks like the BIOS is heavily designed with the primary focus of its official TDP, even if a custom AIB partner adds more power capacity.

This time around, we're using the values from our highest sustainable overclock to represent peak power consumption (we went as high as 1911 MHz). Nvidia's 75 W power target didn't seem to be a limiting factor; we increased the target by 25% and didn't see consumption rise at all. In other words, the 1050 Ti hit its limit at that frequency.

Regarding those reviews of the EVGA more basic card that is powered by the slot only.
It could be that the MSI Gaming X model overclocks a bit better than say the smaller single fan basic cooling EVGA 1050ti without the auxiliary 6-pin due to the cooling solution being much better on the MSI, rather than anything to do with the power limit.
Cheers

Edit:
OK with it late just realised that maybe the auxiliary could help a bit with OC memory, I think that is something Tom's hardware did not do when showing power demand, although OC memory is not really going to use that much of the auxiliary but technically I guess one could be just over the 75W if max OC both.
Cheers

GP107 is faster than I expected. I knew the 1050Ti would beat the 460 but I expected the regular 1050 to tie it, not beat it handily as well.

A bit slower than I was expecting honestly. I was hoping for clocks >1500 Mhz. However, if the mobile clocks are the same that would be nice. Yea I dont think it was any surprise that 1050 Ti beat 460. And considering GTX950 and 460 are about par..I was always expecting 1050 to beat 460. VRAM does come into play here though..I think a 2 GB 1050Ti at $109 looks a little unattractive against a 4GB 460 at $119.

There is no 2GB 1050Ti. You mean the regular 1050? Yeah, 3GB is the minimum I'd go for even on a low end card.

The 4GB GTX 1050Ti looks to be a tremendous OEM card, and a great card to add to an OEM system that doesn't already have a GPU. Just like the 750Ti. NVIDIA is killing it this round. Too bad for them they made the GTX970 so good or I'd be looking for an upgrade.
 
Gigabyte GTX 1070 Xtreme Gaming test:
In the face of popularity, it is not surprising that new versions of the GTX 1070 still appear. The manufacturer Gigabyte now engages with its Geforce GTX 1070 Xtreme Gaming ( PCGH price comparison) after the performance crown.
...
Both the high powertarget and the powerful cooler allow to keep the high level under continuous load. This is how our card starts with a 2.063 MHz GPU boost (<40 ° C core temperature) and then stays in the range of 2.025 to 2.038 MHz in most games.

We assumed that 2.150 MHz was not rock-solid possible, but Battlefield 1 in our testing ran for a quarter-hour clean. The 24/7 usable limit should be in the range of 2,100 MHz.

Gigabyte Brings the Latest Graphics to the New AERO 14 laptop


Gigabyte announced the updated AERO 14 laptop, equipped with a GeForce GTX 1060. The AERO 14 comes with QHD IPS display, up to 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD plus 32GB DDR4-2400 memory, and a 94.24 Wh large capacity battery to further extend mobile usage. All this is packed within an ultra-slim 19.9mm chassis.

GIGABYTE has further added a whopping 94.24 Wh battery, with almost twice the capacity compared to other laptops , taking mobility to a whole new level.

Yes typo..I meant the regular 1050.

Agreed..but thats the only market (i.e. sub 75W) I see for a 1050Ti. Otherwise..RX470 is the way to go.

This was pretty much expected..it just launched a few months back with a 970M and no way could they sell that today. NV is really pricing the 1060 at a premium though. I've yet to see a laptop with it under $1200.
 
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Laptop) – specs and benchmarks
we’re already testing the new (still unreleased and unannounced) mobile NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti for laptops and now it’s time for you to see it in its full glory – today we’ll share our first impressions as well as detailed specifications and benchmarks. We have to admit that we’re pretty impressed by its performance, given the price category we expect it to hit – it should take the position of the 960M/965M notebooks.

GTX 1050 Ti (Laptop) is up to 10% faster than GTX 970M!
Compared to GTX 960M, GTX 1050 Ti (Laptop) shows more than 60% (up to 86%) better performance!

The <75W market is the vast majority of PCs in the world, so I'd say it's a solid target market.

Dell provides a wide range of Alienware 13 configurations which it is also possible to further customise before purchase. All of the machines are claimed to be VR-Ready due to the excellent entry level spec which includes; an Intel Core i5-6300HQ processor, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB GDDR5, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 180GB M.2 SATA 6Gb/s SSD. This entry model features a 13.3 inch HD (1366 x 768) TN Anti-Glare 200-nits display. The starting price for a machine thus configured is US$1199.

That's not really below 1200$ - ok technically it is...
Besides, if you want a display on this notebook (no, no-res TN doesn't count on this class of machine) it's 1499$ anyway (the display isn't configurable on the cheapest option - at least these 300$ more also get you more memory and a bit larger and faster SSD).

Solid target market sure. But if we go by the Steam Hardware Survey the majority of GPUs sold are not in this segment.

Yea that screen really does not count..it really is a $1499 machine. I was actually referring to this laptop - Asus ROG Strix GL502VM 15.6"HD i7-6700HQ 16GB RAM 1TB HDD GTX1060M 6GB - which was ~1200 on sale recently. Might just pick it up if it hits sub $1000 on Black Friday.
