ARTICLE TO BE COMPLETED!!

I have 12 games to benchmark here. All of these games will be tested in 1080p and 1440p, with cost and overall comparisons given at the end.

I will compare 1080p v 1440p on the GTX 1050ti.

Settings:

  • FSR are off.
  • CPU and GPU are stock, with no overclock.
  • Games tested in Fullscreen.
  • Vsync is off.
  • Nvidia Low Latency is Off.
  • Frame rate uncapped.
  • Ray Tracing is Off.
  • REBar is Off.
  • Nvidia Driver Tested on: 561.09.
  • Latest Windows 10 Update 22H2.
  • All Games Benchmarked on a 3-game Average

Test system(my system):

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Stock

AIO: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360mm

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti 4GB G1 Gaming – Stock

Here is the video of the GTX 1050ti in 2024:

*CORRECTION 1 0:16 – The Powersupply is 750w* not 720.

*CORRECTION 2 0:34 – FSR* is Off as DLSS is not ‘officially available’ and literally all of the graphs say DLSS sorry :’)

Some Final Thoughts:

  • In later AAA titles the 4GB VRAM struggles with the 1050ti and its apparent in the frame times when watching the benchmarks
  • Hitman 3, Fary Cry 6, Fortnite, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and especially, The Callisto Protocol felt very playable at 1080p low settings despite having only 4 GB of VRAM available.
  • There are far better value propositions on the second-hand options available at a similar price point. Take the RX 580 for example which can be had for less than $120NZD from AliExpress. I know that there aren’t as many on the market anymore, but it’s really just not that great of a choice, even secondhand. 
  • The 1050ti is just underwhelming and probably warrants an upgrade if you want to play esport titles at above 144hz or any of the later AAA titles.
