Nvidia launches the Geforce GTX 1050 in October

The theme for the summer of 2016 has undoubtedly been graphics cards. While AMD is said to be currently ready after the launches of the Radeon RX 480, RX 470 and RX 460, Nvidia has at least one graphics card left to launch, this time in the lower price range where AMD has so far been ravaged undisturbed.

Now SweClockers can reveal that Nvidia is working on Geforce GTX 1050, which is based on the brand new graphics circuit GP107 – the replacement for the GM107 which lays the foundation for the Geforce GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti. The graphics circuit has a 128-bit memory bus that can be equipped with either 2 or 4 GB of GDDR5 memory.

Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 enters as a direct replacement for the current GTX 950. According to the information, Nvidia intends to enter aggressively in terms of price and go to about the same level. This would mean that the model ends up a few hundred bucks above AMD’s recent entry-level model Radeon RX 460.

Deliveries of the Geforce GTX 1050 will begin at the end of September and the launch will take place in mid-October.
