Looks to be a pretty reliable source. If it turns out to be true, it looks like half way between 960 and 970 performance from the PCIe slot for the 1050ti. Daaaaamn.

Nice sounding card. First Nvidia names two cards with different shader processors as the same card, and now they are naming them different?

Sounds like AMD is going to price cut the heck outta the 460

It seems to be closer to the 960 than the 970 from the limited information we have now. Really looking forward to the release of this card and its very likely to go into my next build! Im hoping most of the designs will not need a 6pin connector.

Better yet, I'm hoping for a passive model! That plus all of the power coming via slot would be a really interesting

Let's hope we don't have to wait a year for a LP version this time

Was that what it was with the 750 Ti? It sucks that low profile cards are so far down on the priority list. Maybe they could charge a small price premium.

I'm not sure about the 750ti, but the 950 only got a LP version a couple of months ago

LP cards seem to be losing appeal unfortunately. They're usually relegated to the GT series of cards which are too weak for most gaming...

With the 1050/Ti I just hope video card vendors don't all bring out massive coolers with heatpipes and 6-pin connectors with the words "extreme" in their packaging. That was the problem with the RX 460- it was presented as a low-power entry level GPU but aftermarket coolers were mostly more big and beefy than what's needed for the card.

Blame marketing.

The leaked specs seem odd to me. The clocks are low enough to the point where I'd expect them to call it 60W instead of 75W, but that's not the problem.

The real problem I see is that if the stock clocks are actually that much lower than the other Pascal cards, then there's almost for sure going to be another round of "extreme" cards since it may have the largest relative overclocks of the entire Pascal line. That's assuming it can hit the same ~2100mhz as the rest of the Pascal cards.

From highest to lowest stock advertised boost clocks:
GTX 1080 (1733mhz), GTX 1060 6GB & 3GB (1703mhz), GTX 1070 (1683mhz), Titan X P (1531mhz), GTX 1050 (1455mhz), GTX 1050 Ti (1382mhz)

It would be nice to have a fairly cheap card that overclocks great, but I really want to see low profile & 6 pin-less cards get attention too :/

We'll have to wait for reviews, but I'm guessing it'll still boost to around 1800 MHz, thanks to GPU Boost 3.0 anyway. The TDP is so low that I'd imagine even the cheap reference models will be able to maintain the higher OC frequency.

Yep, I'm in agreement. Eagerly awaiting reviews.
Titan X P is the only one that hasn't sustained 1800mhz consistently out of the box, but I think that was just thermal throttling of a 250 watt blower card... And with a manual fan curve that's probably resolved, albeit the noisy way.

First pictures of the 1050 Ti appear. As expected, it has a smaller die compared to Little Maxwell. PCB looks quite bare. Guess it's an engineering sample?

 

[Soul_Est]

Hopefully they do not turn out like the RX 460.

 

[Hahutzy]

The 1050 Ti has less CUDA cores than 960 (the same amount as 950).

So it's basically just a 950 that got overclocked like crazy, while maintaining 75W from Pascal efficiency?

 

[CC Ricers]

That's what many people have suspected. More of an OC'd 950, though it might be even better than the 960. Performance gap between 950 and 960 is smaller than 960 to 970 so there's a lot more room there.
