Leaked GTX 1050 specs unveil a Pascal card primed for 1080p

The GEFORCE GTX 1080, GTX 1070 and GTX 1060 are with same architecture, same CUDA cores and same performance as desktop graphics, that’s also why that NVIDIA removed the initial “M” in the back of the mobile platform GPU.

The specifications of the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPU have been leaked and according to the GPU-Z screenshot, the graphics chip will have plenty of video RAM to allow gamers on a budget to enjoy playing at the 1080p resolution.

(GeForce) NVIDIA is said to release a new Pascal-based GPU dubbed as GeForce GTX 1050 anytime soon.

The card has a total of 112.1GB/s along a very narrow 128-bit bus interface, which is the same bandwidth as last generation’s GTX 960-a good step up in the price/performance category.

Given the exclusion of SLI from the GTX 1060 it would be expected that the GTX 1050 will follow suit. Would you be interested in one of these cards? As it stands we don’t know whether this is a reference (founders edition) model or a higher clocked version from an Nvidia partner.

The GTX 1050, which would succeed the existing GTX 950, will apparently feature the GP107 graphics core featuring 768 CUDA cores, 48TMUs and 32 ROPs. VideoCardz reckons the GTX 1050 will be available, like its updated GTX 950 predecessor, as a purely PCIe powered card.

Benchlife claims that the GTX 1050 will see a release sometime in mid-October with launch pricing expected to be around $150. However, with the upcoming release of GeForce GTX 1050, it will be interesting how it will par with AMD’s RX 460, which is now dominating the entry-level market today.
