MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Gaming X Review

The Gears Of War 4 game’s plot is set 25 years after Gears of War 3 and focuses on JD Fenix, the son of Marcus Fenix. Gears of War is a third-person shooter game, with its core concepts being derived from Resident Evil 4s “over the shoulder” perspective, Kill Switchs cover system, and Bionic Commandos swinging action akin to moving between points of cover. (Wikipedia).

Gears of War 4 is launched via the Windows 10 Store, requires the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to run, and only supports the DirectX 12 API.

We test using the High quality preset. Dynamic Resolution scaling was turned off and Async Compute was enabled where the GPU supported it.

Gears of War 4 makes for better reading for the GTX 1050 Ti's performance numbers. The DX12 game puts MSI's overclocked GTX 1050 Ti at the performance level of an R9 380. The RX 460 4GB is noticeably slower the MSI's GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X, to the point where it drops frame rates down to a borderline playable level.

Yet again, Sapphire's RX 470 4GB graphics card serves the MSI GTX 1050 Ti a comprehensive beating. The £15-20 more expensive AMD-powered board is 24 FPS faster, on average.

  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)
