GTX 1050 2GT VS RX 560 Hashrate: Overclocking | Settings (Shocking)

MSI GeForce GTX 1050 2GT VS RX 560 Hashrate: Overclocking | Best Settings : The RX 560 in my previous review clearly proved that paying extra for a better graphics card when buying a cheap gaming computer is definitely worth it. However, there is another graphics card, which costs approximately . This GTX 1050 is very popular. It does not cost much money, has very good and quiet cooling and has a decent level of processing. How to deal with the RX 560? Read more ..

Specifications

Graphics card description and phot

The graphics card measures 215 x 112 x 38 mm and occupies two slots. Unlike most RX 560s, it does not require any additional power supply, but I would like to see it on this card. The card is a bit bothered by throttling caused by the consumption limit. The outputs are taken care of by 1x HDMI, 1x DVI and 1x DP. The core is cooled by a large heatsink on which two silent 80mm fans blow. 

VRM has no liabilities, MSI relies only on a fan that blows on MOSFETs. However, I did not encounter any overheating, so I do not see this as a major problem. VRM consists of three phases for the kernel and one phase in charge of memory. 

For the GTX 1050, this VRM is quite sufficient. It is even slightly better than the cheapest cards from PALIT and Gainward. The fans always run at least 45% and cannot be switched off. The card can monitor the speed of the fans, but they are completely silent even when playing. Photos from my computer are a good example of poor cable management. Please ignore the HDD that holds only one screw.

Overclocking, consumption, temperatures

When I launched the GPU-Z, I was glad that this piece has Samsung’s memory. So I overclocked them from 7 GHz to 9 GHz without any problems. They should be able to handle up to 9.4 GHz, but Afterburner won’t let me go to higher values ​​and I don’t want to do any crazy with a borrowed card. I overclocked the core from + – 1800 MHz to approximately 1890 MHz. In the Unigine Valley, the card received a beautiful 1778 points. Performance therefore increased by approximately 15%. Graphics like the HD 7950 or GTX 670 from 2012 have similar performance, but up to 4x higher consumption. The GTX 1050 is great, but if you get a piece that doesn’t have Samsung’s memory, it freezes a bit, because you happen to lose a few percent of performance if you decide to overclock the card.

Consumption of GTX 1050 is slightly lower than RX 560, when playing more demanding games it will say about 20W less.

The cooler of this card pleased me. The card looks good with it, is very quiet and the card has low temperatures. At rest, the core has about 30 ° C, while playing games, the core temperature has climbed to only 58 ° C and the card is very quiet. A huge difference compared to the RX 560 from Sapphire.

The GTX 1050 often has significantly higher performance than the RX 560, consumes less power, closes better, and perhaps every model has sufficient and quiet cooling. The RX 560 should have a lower price, as the GTX 1050 has the same price and is simply better.

Pros

• Decent performance
• Low power consumption and temperature, minimal noise
• No additional power required
• Ansel, Shadowplay
• Better price / performance ratio than RX 560

Cons

• Graphics with 2GB of memory have poor prospects for the future

The best graphics card for low budget players
