I'd just get the 1050Ti. If you are waiting for the newest version, you waiting your whole life. When the 2050 gets out, the 3050 will be just around the bend. And so on...

 

Buy now. There's only little gain between one version to the next. It's when you compare 3 or 4 versions, is when you see a difference.

have there even been any announcements about the GTX 11xx/20xx cards yet?

I've been searching for awhile myself and can't find info on whether the RTX line is just replacing the GTX line or if they still have the next refresh in the works...

I haven't heard of that either. My assumption was always that they killed the GTX. But in reality, no idea... :unsure:

 

$220 ... How about the RX570

With respect to a 2050 ... really hard to say. What will it be priced at? If the recent Nvidia releases are any indication...you may have to give them a kidney in addition to cash..

 

Just throwing an idea it there. :)

Yeah, not sure but I read somewhere that only the 2070 and 2080 will be RTXs but the 2050/2060 and others will be GTX for this generation of architecture.

Sadly, I have an HP machine so can't upgrade the PSU. 1050/Ti is the only that can work on a 320W PSU, right?

 

And do you really think there'd be so much price difference b/w GTX 1050Ti and GTX 2050 (non-Ti)?

What does the history say about this though?

aren't the direct replacement for the gtx, the rtx?

 

as in rtx2080  

RTX only refers to GPUs that have a ray-tracing core. And any card below 2070 won't have any RTX cores so...

from my understanding the RTX line is focused on the Ray Tracing for AI purposes; it's not primarily meant as a gaming GPU like the GTX series is; which is why I've assumed there's still a GTX refresh coming (probably 11xx range) but they're just keeping tight lipped still on it

Considering nVidia just released a GTX 1060 with GDDR5X RAM, I wouldn't be surprised if any G/RTX 2050 cards are a ways out, and may end up being minor respins.  There are indications that anything below the 2070 in terms of raytracing simply will not be performant enough, and I doubt nVidia would want a 2050 or 2060 to compare to the 2070 in terms of performance (which roughly ties the 1080).  I'd recommend buying now if you're looking at the 1050/Ti, but if you're considering moving up to a 1060/2060, it might be worth waiting a bit longer, but I wouldn't expect a huge difference between a 10xx card or a 20xx card in this range.

If you aren't buying regardless of choice until March of next year then wait. a 2050 would be around the 1060 in performance which would make it a great cheap card for 1080p. It would also make the 1050 probably fire sale as they can't charge a 'RTX' premium and that level of card is price limited not performance focused.

Right.. I guess I can definitely wait a bit longer 'cause ya'know I'd be upgrading from a 750Ti. So, it should be a major upgrade :)

The issue with that really is the power supply so.. that's why

There a reason why you need to upgrade from your 750Ti?

 

I have one myself, and I don't really see a reason to upgrade to a 105Ti/1060, personally.

Yeah.. it doesn't run Odyssey quite well.. like below 30 fps so that's why :/

You try changing the settings? Low, Medium, turning certain features off?

Yep.. at the lowest settings but you see the thing is that this GPU may last me a few more months and that's why I'm willing to wait it out for a new GPU but I'm sure that in 2019 this GPU will suffer quite a bit. And so I'm looking for a low-powered GPU that'll last me a couple more years.

Huh, what HP computer do you have, anyways?

ahh yes, that PSU is a no go for the RX570.  Also, upgrading your non-standard PSU (even if possible) would destroy your budget anyway.

 

Soooooo ... I dunno.  If you can hang on a little bit maybe word will come out in the next 1, 2, 6 months with respect to the successor.  Seeing that there isn't much information with respect to the 2050, other than rumors, the 1050ti, today, would be a nice little upgrade from the 750ti.

 

Edit:  Oh, and it is a small form factor.  Ooof.  Maybe save up for a PS or Xbox?  :)

Nah.. it's a mini-tower that's why there's 320W but yeah upgrading that PSU will have me getting a new PC so yeah here's crossing to GTX 2050 to be power-efficient just like 1050s :)

I think you need a low profile version to fit it in there, right?

 

Those ones are normally less powered than their normal counterparts.

It's a mini tower so most sizes can fit in there :)

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.

    • it dosnt support onprem exchange. it dosnt support mapi-calls. the views are all worse/limited. its slower. it cant see public folder calendars. we already have webmail. the list of other missing features is pretty huge but i only see it when customers call to say their email isnt working, and 9/10 times its cause they accidentality changed to outlooknew(new). Hold the line everyone!
    • yeah, this looks beautiful. Damn this winter's going to be great.
