Tiger5G talks about Digital Twenty: Thousands of games graphics, buy second-hand 960 or new 1050Ti?

The whole theme of January should be waiting for a holiday?

During this period, I believe that many PC game players will begin to upgrade their accessories to prepare for the Christmas specials. In general, the most important part of the upgrade here is probably the graphics card, and the thousand-level graphics card is the object that most players will give priority to.

Thousand yuan graphics card how to choose? I believe that some people will consider the second-hand GTX960, after all, is the last generation of mid-range classics, and other people may give priority to the new thousand-class card, and this is currently the most popular is probably only released a long time GTX1050TI. This time just got a new 1050ti hand, plus the GTX960 colleagues used before, just under the contrast for your reference.

This time, we got the Sotec version of the GTX1050TI. Looking at the JD is also the best seller at the moment, and the price is basically a relatively low price.

About Sotec, a brief introduction, Parkn Energy's, AIC; one of the most classic series than their "Extreme Edition" series, in addition to the characteristics of the stack, is probably the heightening of the PCB.

And this GTX1050TI belongs to their X-GAMING series, mainly for mainstream users.

On the back there are product features introduced, but what I notice is probably the 3-year warranty, which is more meaningful for the average consumer. Individuals have always said that in addition to the graphics card performance and price, the user should first consider the sale of the graphics card, unlike the motherboard, not all graphics cards are 3 years warranty, before even a lot of year Warranty, and graphics card loss rate is relatively high, so ordinary users also pay attention.

The only fitting is probably the 6pin to D line

Appearance, the standard two 9CM fan settings, did not pay attention to later found out with their home 1060 3G version of the appearance is almost the same (of course, whether the radiator is the same inside I do not know)

The back of the graphics card does not include the now popular backplane, but it is the cheapest 1050Ti, which is also understandable.

Interface, 2DVI + DP + HDMI combination, more strange is probably to retain 2 DVI.

Standard 2 slot thickness with LOGO light on top.

Single 6pin power supply, although 1050ti main power ratio, but still need an external 6pin power supply; but look forward to when this level of card can be optimized to power-free ah.

Radiator's vest has actually exceeded the length of the PCB

The actual length of the video card is about 25.5cm, and the baffle is about 27cm, which is still a medium length. In fact, I personally hope that this level of control of the card within 19cm, in order to maintain compatibility with some small chassis, but most of the manufacturers still in order to market demand is still "long" to 20cm + level.

The length is even more than the public version of RX 480

I remember that Sotec's card was a tamper-resistant glue, but it is now gone.

The heat sink is a copper bottom with 2 heat pipes, and the aluminum heat sink wears a fin setting, which is regarded as an entry-level setting that is more reliable.

The power supply part also has a heat sink

Data interface has metal shielding

The power supply part is a 4+1 setting

4 Samsung 1G memory

Graphics resolution to this side, I believe we are more interested in the actual performance of GTX1050Ti, I used here to compare the previous generation of GTX960 2G version. The GTX960 is subject to different specifications (2G, 4G) of the second-hand market, and the price of the GTX 1050Ti is between 700-1000. The new price of the GTX 1050Ti is between 1000-1400, so the two have a certain purchase coincidence.

Specific performance is still on the machine test it

Theoretical testing

Because of the product positioning relationship, this level of card is basically targeted at users of 1080P-level resolution, so whether it is a theoretical test (in addition to VR MARK) or the main game tests are based on 1080P, full effect can be fully open as possible .

3DMARK Fire Strike

The 1050ti graphics card score is 78xx, while the 960 score is 74xx.

3DMARK Time Spy

Mainly for DX12 graphics performance test, the default resolution is actually 1440P, but obviously this level of card can not deal with, so I manually set to 1080P, and disable non-synchronous computing.

1050Ti has a score of 35xx, and 960 has a score of 34xx. 1050Ti can be said to be a victory.

VR MARK

So can this level of card handle VR devices?

1050Ti and 960 are just passing the pass line, 1050Ti is also slightly ahead.

Game testing

In the end, the theory still requires actual game operations, so my actual game here is compared.

Game selection is currently the mainstream representative, in addition to the traditional project watch pioneer, GTA5, DOTA2, CSGO, this time increased the "time black hole" civilization 6 (Civilization 6 really super super praise)

The test process should try to select the same scene, map, or even the length of the test, trying to simulate the real contrast.

Recorded with Fraps, average frame, minimum number of highest frames.

The result is the following. Basically, in addition to CSGO, 1050Ti has obvious advantages for 960 2G. Although memory has certain influence, it is estimated that 960 4G is also difficult to recover.

Power test

Standby power consumption of the entire machine, with the full load (in-game) power consumption of the complete machine, the power consumption of the full load of the basic 1050Ti is more than 100W power consumption, and so the 6pin power supply is still maintained.

However, it is a very good thermal control, after all, 14nm process, small core high frequency but still outstanding performance, copy machine temperature is only fifty degrees. So the actual basic as long as a single fan radiator is enough.

Finally, it concludes that the choice and promotion of the next thousand yuan game N card

1, currently 1,000 yuan level (left and right) of the card, whether it is the new 1050Ti or 960, the main response to the game screen is still 1080P level, although it seems that the resolution is not high, but basically can maintain a relatively high number of frames (full Open special effects 60 + frames); while the 1440P can also run, but still need to abandon certain special effects settings.

2, if not a special complex, the price slightly higher than the second-hand 960 1050Ti is still the first choice for this price, expensive two or three hundred in exchange for a new card, as well as warranty and follow-up driver optimization.

3, benefit from the 14nm process, 1050Ti thermal power than the control is very good, there is no need to pursue advanced cooling.

4, this level of the card, if only for the game, then CPU use I3 I5 brings the difference in performance is not large, so the whole budget between 3000-5000 can get the kind of, the price segment of the user price It is more sensitive.

5, Your Majesty, the sale of graphics cards is really important, remember to give priority to buying outstanding after sales.

Is 6, 2, 3G, 4G memory sufficient? Below the GTA5 1080P different settings below the memory occupied. Basically, 2G memory is already completely inadequate (slightly a little special effects will burst the memory), 4G is currently just enough for this level (1080P game screen) (you can guarantee a wide variety of AA/AF), and then High-level resolution (1440P) 4G is not enough (core performance is not enough)

7, How much power is appropriate for this level of card? Basic as long as reliable 300W power level can be (I tested the platform is I7, full load is about 150w)

Also summed up under additional Sotec GTX1050Ti, Sotec this card's overall performance in fact with the GTX1050Ti this core positioning, from the price workmanship with the product attached to the property, are more market-based products under the trade-off, that is, the amount of type . For example, there is no additional graphics card backplane for you to YY, but give you a more realistic 3 year warranty; to design for the market's volume, but it is also one of the cheapest AIC cards, of course, this results in the current JD inside. 1050Ti's sales champion.

If you have any suggestions for this card, you probably want to come up with a single fan (10CM) short card.
