GeForce GTX 1050 Ti EVGA FTW DT GAMING ACX 3.0 4GB Game Requirement Analysis
Overview
The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti FTW DT Gaming ACX 3.0, apart from being a mouthful to say, is EVGA's non overclocked version of the lower end graphics card the GTX 1050 Ti. It is competing against AMDs more affordable gaming cards, like the newer RX 470. It features their non stock ACX 3.0 cooling system.
Architecture
The Pascal Architecture aims for twice as much performance as the Maxwell Architecture and introduces support for second gen HBM.
GPU
It equips a GPU codenamed GP107-400 which has 6 SM activated and 768 Shader Processing Units, 48 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1290MHz and goes up to 1392MHz when the Boost Clock is triggered in game.
Memory
The GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 3504MHz.
Power Consumption
With a rated board TDP of 75W, this card requires a 6-pin power adapter in order to function.
Performance
The GTX 1050 Ti EVGA FTW DT Gaming ACX 3.0 4GB will enable mid level graphics performance on modern AAA 2016 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 55+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution.
Comparatively, this card will be faster than the performance of the outgoing GTX 960
System Suggestions
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti FTW DT (for short) is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a modern CPU like the i5-6500 and 8GB of RAM for minimal system bottleneck.
