Can the GTX 1050ti keep up in 2024?
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 is off.
- CPU and GPU are stock, with no overclock.
- Games tested in Fullscreen.

- 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.

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.
