@InvalidError "Because Guru3D ran their tests at very high or ultra presets where both 1050s are under 40fps most of the time even at 1080p instead of aiming for detail levels that yield frame rates people would actually want to play at. Once you reduce details to achieve a more readily sustainable 60fps, the memory requirement drops, the 1050Ti's extra 2GB VRAM becomes mostly unnecessary and the performance gap with the 1050 gets that much narrower."
I am sorry but the way Guru3D tested is the proper way to do a review if you want to see the full performance of what each card has to give the end user and at the end of the day this lets the end user know just how well a card will perform. It does not matter how the end user ends up using the card in the games if he or she wants a steady 60 FPS they will set the game to get those frames but if you hand pick games and settings in a review like a lot of site are doing then you actually never really know which card is the fastest and most suited to your needs. All you get is part of the picture from reviews that set the cards to work at less than the game can produce. I say this because in the reviews I have seen for the 1050 series you see the 1050 non ti always beating out the AMD 460 card but in guru 3D you see the 1050 non ti getting it's butt handed to it by the AMD 460 so which is right is the 1050 faster or slower than the AMD 460.
From the Guru3D review I would say the 460 is faster most of the time when the cards are pushed to their limits. Crap in a few instances it even beat out the 1050Ti..which is kinda funny because in other reviews the 1050 Ti was a lot faster. For me I would want to know which card had more fuel left in the tank before I bought a new card not a card that looked faster because of tweaked settings from a review. It clearly shows the 1050 series are very under powered when pushed as hard as a 460 or 470 in the Guru3D review and that is what a review is meant to be a balls all out test to show which card or piece of hardware has that extra juice to pulled ahead of the others.
Sure you could also show what each card can do when the settings are tweaked for frame rates but you have to include both sets of data so a end user gets all the needed information before buying a new card.
