GTX 960 VS GTX 1050ti

[yuriekatz13]

can someone please enlighten me..

how the fawk a GTX 960 (4gb ver to equal the Ram) with more shader/texture unit is slower compared to GTX 1050ti?

is it core speed? im pretty sure you can OC the 960.. or auto boost thing..
is it the driver slowing down the older ones? which make sense to me in the marketing side..

please help.. this is really bothering me in these past days.. ahahaha

-- you can ignore this --

i saw some benchmarks with actual footage..
despite of having a +3~8 FPS / +4~6*C hotter compared to GTX 960
i see some shuttering on GTX 1050 ti tho..

but when it comes to benchmark site.. like userbench..
GTX 960 wins by +4%

i just looked at the userbench recntly tested..
GTX 960 - CLim: 1544 MHz, MLim: 1752 MHz, Ram: 4GB
Lighting 149 MRender 83.5
Reflection 126 Gravity 133
Parallax 136 Splatting 90.2
dx 9 - 45% 137 fps / dx10 - 44% 102 fps

GTX 1050ti - CLim: 1911 MHz, MLim: 1752 MHz, Ram: 4GB
Lighting 120 MRender 81.2
Reflection 80.8 Gravity 116
Parallax 120 Splatting 84.6
dx9 - 37% 107 fps / dx10 - 40% 93.8 fps

even in AVG and MAX score, 960 wins despite its kinda weak on splatting..

-- this ends here --

PS: which of these card are good for unreal engine and unity? 'cause i mostly have those games..

Addition: why RX 560/460 perform worse compared to GTX 1050? (you can ignore this)

EDIT: added more info

In real world tests the 960 isn't as close as you think.

Not to meantion drivers will be better optimized for the current 1050ti instead of an end-of-life card.

1. are you saying that userbench is not 'real'..
- those benches came from real people with real unit in the real world..
- beside you can even view its average, best and worst benches.. from 'real' people's data..

2. that link you pasted..
- not even a regular one nor lots of gtx 1050 ti result in one graph..

3. so its marketing huh..
- as i said earlier, nvidia is ditching the older ones to make people buy new ones.. 900 series is not even that far from 1000 series.. in case you forget about that..
- and its their fault to keep prolonging the architecture and then cutting them off the support short? ahaha

i feel like 1050 ti is just heavily patched.. yeah it does have higher FPS but shuttering doesn't lie you know..
on other hand.. even if i saw shuttering on 960.. mostly those are from 2GB ver..

I'm really not sure what the point of all this is for or why you seem to be so upset over a video card.

The GTX 1050ti is faster than the GTX 960. Now that we all know this, It's time to move on.

 

[yuriekatz13]

nah.. im not mad.. im just looking for good one..
'cause im gonna one now.. or most likely tomorrow which is sunday.. 😀

PS: i like to learn tons of shites so.. knowing whats the real reason behind this is really what i want..
not just ' THIS is better than THAT, buy THIS' kind of thing.. i really dont like that reason..

Userbenchmark uses averages over all the hardware tested. So there's times when the 1050ti is faster and others the 960 is. But i would get the 1050ti cause of future support. They are basically identical.

If you are looking for an upgrade, I suggest you study product lineup, not comparisons of cards on various websites.

What I means, if you look at product lineups, you'll see that the GTX 960 occupied the exact same spot in the lineup of 9xx series cards as the 1050 Ti does in the 10xx series. So, for you, the 1050 Ti is not an upgrade. No matter which card is 'faster', they are both on the same basic level of performance.

The GTX 970 was the upgrade from the 960. In the 10xx series, the 1060 is the upgrade from the 1050 Ti. Therefore, for you the upgrade path is to a 1060 at least. That's because the 1060 is in the same spot in the lineup as the 970 was.

PSU are optimized to perform better each year.

960, 970, 980, 1050, 1070, 1080
rtx2080


I am sure you know, but each time they upgrade something it performs better, faster, and uses less energy to do so most of the time.

Two 970's would perform close to 1 1080 roughly.

It just works this way and you would do better looking at a table of benched out GPU;s as a list which are all over the internet.


960's are getting old atm, I even consider my 970 to be old atm, which isn't entirely bad still.
