NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Specifications Leaked

With the silent release of the GTX 1060 3GB, NVIDIA is looking to setup a new GPU release with Benchlife leaking supposed specifications of the upcoming GTX 1050 based on the same 16nm FinFET manufacturing as the other Pascal GPUs.

So far NVIDIA has released three Pascal chips in the market namely the GP102, the GP104 and the GP106. The GTX 1050 is reportedly using the GP107 codename for its GPU and will be the smallest GPU to date unless a non-GTX cards becomes available in the future e.g. GP108. The GP107 will be a fully-enabled variant and not a disabled model like its bigger brothers.

Specifications for the NVIDIA GTX 1050 will reportedly have 768 CUDA cores running at 1316Mhz with a boost clock of 1380Mhz. A 7Ghz memory clock compliments the card with 4GB of GDDR5 wired to a 128-bit bus. NVIDIA is expected to release the reference design without the need for extra PCI-e power with the GPU only needed 75W. AIB partners are free to beef up the card like the RX 460 which is designed without a PCIe power connector.

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 is expected to be priced at around $149, below the GTX 1060 3GB model and will compete directly with the AMD Radeon RX 470. The card, like its Maxwell predecessors, will be heavily marketed towards MOBA gamers and 1080p gaming. This will make it the most affordable Pascal GPU when released.

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 is estimated to launch Mid-October.
