Indeed. NVIDIA offer the fastest card at every price point, well they will once this 1050 is released.

Hahaha what you mean is every price point above 350 pounds*

if the 1060 was the same price as the 470 you would be right...

is this gonna be another Nvidia RIP OFF ??

Those clocks are more at home on a RX480.

It might be being made at GF.

If it's close to the rx 470 you can guarantee it'll be more like £175 upwards. That's the performance level they should be aiming for anyway so in my mind it'll have the price to match.

Edit:
Mind you I forgot about the special gtx 1060 3GB with it's gimped cores, maybe that is the rx 470 competitor.

If these leak specs are true its more gunning for the RX460 which already looked weak next to the 950

Nvidia RIP OFF???? Don't think so.

$159 = £119 x 20% VAT = £142.80

Cost few pounds more than AMD biggest RIP OFF ever 4GB RX 460, GTX 1050 would offer much better value than £139 4GB RX 460 with 6 pin power connector that have absolutely no OC headroom at all if it have good reviews when it launch in October.

You can get six pin and bus powered RX460 2GB cards for £98 onwards delivered which is what the GTX750TI costs and that is from multiple retailers too. 4GB cards cost from £125 onwards.

Moreover,the RX460 is not even full Polaris 11 - it has 896 shaders instead of 1024.

Edit!!

So the RX460 2GB(depending on whether it is bus powered or not),trades blows with the GTX950,but is cheaper.

Looking at the specs of the GTX1050,it looks like it will trade blows with the GTX960 or be a bit faster,whilst being cheaper.

Personally that is not too bad,as any improvements in the sub £150 sector are welcomed.

I forget what GTX 750 Ti was cost when it was launched back in 2014.

http://videocardz.com/nvidia/geforce-700/geforce-gtx-750-ti

Surprised it was launched at $159 which will be the same price as 4GB GTX 1050! I supposed GTX 750 Ti 1GB started at $159 and $179 for 2GB model? Had a vague memory what OCUK price for GTX 750 Ti was at launch, probably £99 for 1GB and £139 for 2GB.

http://videocardz.com/nvidia/geforce-700/geforce-gtx-750

GTX 750 launch price was $119 so I think $119 will be GTX 1050 2GB launch price.

GTX 1050 4GB will be nice massive upgrade for GTX 750 and 750 Ti owners. :cool:

GTX 750 launch price was $119 so I think $119 will be GTX 1050 2GB launch price.

GTX 1050 4GB will be nice massive upgrade for GTX 750 and 750 Ti owners.

It does not change the fact that the RX460 2GB is under £100 and that is with the pound 20% weaker than it was last year. RRP is $110. GTX1050 4GB RRP is $149 it seems. The GTX950 RRP was around $150 to $160.

That means,the cheapest GTX1050 will be £135 to £140 at current exchange rates,or 35% to 40% more than a RX460 2GB. So I expect,that it should be at least 35% faster to compensate.

According to that link you posted the GTX750 RRP is $119 and the GTX750TI RRP is $149. That means the RX460 launched at a lower USD price than the GTX750.

The GTX750TI is £95 to £100 for a 2GB version,and the stock was purchased when the pound was much stronger. The same with the GTX950.

The GTX1050 is not £100 it appears. If you think it will be that price,you must have missed the whole issue of the pound being at its lower level for decades - its nearly 20% lower than last year. A direct conversion with VAT included would place the GXT1050 4GB as being £135 to £140.

The RX460 is a better card than the GTX750TI.

So trying to twist the RX460 as being a £140,well its not entirely true,right?? The 2GB version is $110,and under £100 which means it is competing with the GTX750TI.

Just because you cherry picked the most expensive 4GB RX460 does not make the RX460 a £140 card. Its a £100 card with versions costing £140. Nobody would be buying a £140 RX460 4GB when you can get a GTX960 or R9 380 for that kind of money anyway.

You are just obssessed with making everything a AMD vs Nvidia fight. It is getting tiresome very quickly.

To make it simple for you:
1.)Around £100 delivered, GTX750TI or RX460
2.)Around £120 to £130 delivered, GTX950(odd card might be on offer and cheaper as it is EOL now) and RX460 4GB
3.)Around £130 to £150 delivered - GTX960 or R9 380.

The GTX1050 is slotting into the third sector.

Maybe,Nvidia will have a cut down card to compete with the RX460 2GB. However,the card you are describing is competing with more expensive cards.

^^ You are of course assuming it will compete with the 460 rather than the 470! I suspect it will just be somewhere between.

Sorry,but 768 shaders at 1.3GHZ to 1.4GHZ instead of 1152 shaders at 1.5/1.6GHZ+ is a massive cut.

Like I said its going to replace the GTX950 and due to the weak pound its going to be more like £135 to £140.

I predict it will be around GTX960 or slightly faster,but consumes less power OFC.

It might be bus powered so will be quite nifty too.

You only have to look at the massive gap in performance between the £100 RX460 2GB(in both bus powered and PCI-E power connector versions) and the RX470 4GB and GTX1060 3GB,at £180 to £190.

It will be placed halfway between both cards.

If the pound was not so weak,this would be a £120 card,and the RX460 2GB and £85 to £90,and it would have been a decent bump up in performance at both price ranges.

Sadly at £135 to £140 there is the GTX960 and R9 380,which for the UK consumer is the actual competition for this card - it won't be reflected in US reviews,but its a different reality for us here.

Its also why we don't have a £200 GTX1060 6GB or a RX480 8GB.

The GTX1060 3GB and RX470 4GB would have been closer to £150 to £160 sadly.

OFC,it will still be the best card,if you have £150 to spend. AMD somewhat failed not releasing a full fat Polaris 11 GPU for the RX460 - 896 shaders instead of 1024 shaders is a big reduction in shaders.

Look like Nvidia decided to pushed forward GTX 1050 launch to end of Sept due to very high demand of GTX 1080, 1070 and 1060.

Wow all 3 Pascal cards sold like hot cakes, never saw any reports about 3 Polaris sold like hot cakes.

The second link won't open for me but in the first one I read:

...plenty of retailers are seeing cards flying out of stock almost as fast as they can get them in. This is apparently down to Pascal supplies remaining “tight”

It seems to be saying there's still supply problems for all 3 Pascal cards...

Either way, the expression would be an understatement for Polaris. It is selling in bulk (i.e. orders for hundreds of them at a time). Ethereum miners simply can't get enough...

A bus-powered, low-profile one of these I would be interested in.

Still waiting for an upgrade to my mITX Steam Box, currently running a 7750.

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-leak/

Details came from HWBattle confirmed there will be 2 variants GTX 1050 2GB and GTX 1050 Ti 4GB cards that will replace GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti when it will reached EOL in October.

GTX 1050 Ti will have full GP107 with 768 CUDA cores and 75W TDP while GTX 1050 will expect to have 1 SM disabled just like GTX 750 did that would have 640 CUDA cores and less than 75W TDP so I think it probably will have same 55W TDP as GTX 750.

GTX 1050 Ti 4GB will launch in mid October for $149 to compete with RX 460 4GB while GTX 1050 2GB will launch later in end of October for $119 to compete with RX 460 2GB.

https://benchlife.info/gp107-with-2gb-and-4gb-for-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-09252016/

Accorded to benchlife details that GTX 1050 will have 1455MHz boost clock which is higher than GTX 1050 Ti 1382MHz boost clock but GTX 1050 will have 40 TMUs and 1.8 TFLOPs FP32 performance while GTX 1050 Ti will have 48 TMUs and 2.1 TFLOPs FP32 performance.

So it seemed all current consumer Pascal GP102, GP104 and GP106 GPUs are capable overclocking to guarantee 2GHz boost clock, 2GHz GTX 1050 would have 2.5 TFLOPs (40 TMUs x 32 ROPs x 2000 MHz) that will make GTX 1050 faster than GTX 960's 2.3 TFLOPs. 2GHz GTX 1050 Ti would have 3 TFLOPs that will push it close to GTX 970's 3.4 TFLOPs performance level.

Too late now... I've already bought a 4GB RX 480... for just under £210. A GTX 1050 over £150 would be taking the (Fully star out swearing)... and I bet that's exactly what is going to happen.
