MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Gaming X Review

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game played from either a first-person or third-person view. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. Outside of missions, players may freely roam the open world.

Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series. It may be fully explored after the game’s beginning without restriction, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content.

We use the Very High quality settings (or the highest alternative – generally High – when Very High is unavailable). MSAA is disabled in order to target 60FPS+, and the Advanced Graphics options are set at moderate levels.

Grand Theft Auto V gives us a look at DX11 performance from a battle-hardened title that should be free of major performance bugs at this point in its life-cycle. The MSI GTX 1050 Ti manages to overtake the R9 380 and is sat battling with an R9 380X. With that said, minimum frame rates for the GTX 1050 Ti are consistently lower than those offered by the R9 380X.

Compared to the RX 460 4GB and RX 470 4GB, MSI's GTX 1050 Ti sits pretty much in the middle of the two, in terms of average FPS. The new MSI card opens up a performance advantage over the overclocked GTX 960 4GB. This is likely due to GTA V's longer benchmark run and the low-power GTX 1050 Ti being able to better maintain its maximum boost clocks than our GTX 960 competitor.

  3. Not necessarily. It depends on how much you want to spend on a GPU. I just bought one of these today after reading this review, among many others. I picked it up for AU$229 while the cheapest RX470 I can find is AU$279 (HIS brand) or AU$308 for a similar MSI version (MSI Radeon RX470 Gaming X). Yeah “it’s only $50 difference” (or $79 for the MSI) but I didn’t want to spend the extra money on my spare computer (wife will use it mainly). (Side note: My PC has a GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Waterforce so I can appreciate more powerful cards, but it’s overkill for my spare).
    For the same price point I’d have to get a Sapphire Radeon RX460 Nitro 4GB, and it simply isn’t as good as the MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X card.

  4. At least Nvidia gpus manage to keep a steady high fps without random fps drops in the finished game, and not just in the alpha version like certain other gpus.

    I got one of these last saterday as a bday present.I personally have to say price to performance this are most prob the best card here.I opted for the 1060 3gb but then i had to upgrade psu etc.I am not much of a gamer(mostly emulator games as i am old school gamer)I love to push the limit of the card.

    The oc capability are mind boggling.Started today.Got it to 150 mhz on the gpu and 200 mhz on the memory.Stock voltage.Pretty sure will get around 350 on the memory on stock(if i am lucky)After reading some reviews it performs pretty well.Problem for me are i am still running an amd FX 4170 k.Will be getting the nxt gen ryzen cpu as not wasting time again on first gen cpu’s.Just personally i am truly impressed.Not a big msi fan but from back in 2004 or something they had some of the best oc cards out there(my old 9600 pro could do around a 25%+ oc back then :D)
