Its going to be an early Christmas for gamers as NVIDIA revealed a couple of new gaming GPUs to complement its award-winning line-up of Pascal-based GPUs.
These GPUS are built on the same Pascal architecture that has been breaking benchmarks and sales records since they were released a few months ago, even if they are quite pricey.
That all changes with the release of their GeForce GTX 1050 GPU that promises high-end performance but with a more competitive price point.
The new card can run most new games out of the box both at medium to high settings at frames above 60 frames per second, because of the 640 Cuda cores and its 2GB of VRAM. Spend a bit more cash and you can get the 1050 Ti version, which has 768 Cuda cores and 4GB of RAM.
The GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti custom boards will be available from NVIDIA GeForce Partners, including ASUS, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, iGame, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac.
