NVIDIA is releasing the GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 mobile video cards for laptops. The rollout is just in time as Intel already has their Kaby Lake processors popping up in the mobile gaming systems.
The GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 cards are, without a doubt, the best choice for those who want the most powerful laptop or desktop computer. However, the problem is that they are the most expensive ones especially for the laptop versions.
NVIDIA's GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 laptop video cards may be the answer for customers on a budget. They will be able to play their games with minimal lag and still bring it with them anywhere they go.
The NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti laptop GPU has 768 CUDA cores compared to the 640 in the GTX 1050, AnandTech reported. They are more or less the same as the current GTX 960M video cards in some laptops.
For the core clock, the GTX 1050 Ti rocks 1493MHz while the 1050 has 1354MHz. Overclocking the cards on the laptops are not recommended as NVIDIA already has their GPU Boost technology which takes them to 1620MHz and 1493MHz, respectively.
NVIDIA's GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 cards will be present in several Alienware, MSI, ASUS, HP, Clevo and DELL gaming laptops, PC World has learned. They will be able to play most of today's AAA games but not as well as their bigger brothers.
MOBA games such as "League of Legends," "DOTA 2," "Overwatch" and "Paladins" will run okay on the new laptop video cards from NVIDIA. They would also run considerably cooler as the new Pascal chips are more power efficient.
Gamers will also be able to play other titles at 1080p on medium to high settings, depending on the system requirements. The NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 laptop prices start at $700.
