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 :)

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
