Nvidia’s new GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti graphics cards for laptops were recently adopted by a range of hardware manufacturers.
Many new notebooks featuring the GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti launched at CES 2017, and continue with the 10-series theme of not using the mobile class naming convention.
Instead, they use the same names as their desktop counterparts.
In some cases, though, there are differences between the mobile and desktop versions of GTX 10-series graphics cards.
The GTX 1050 mobile graphics card is largely similar to its desktop counterpart, with a slightly higher Boost Clock speed.
The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti mobile GPU has the same number of CUDA Cores as the desktop version, but features a significantly higher Base and Boost Clock speed.
These two mid-range cards are available in many new gaming laptops, including Dell’s Inspiron series, Lenovo’s Legion series, and Samsung’s Odyssey lineup.
The installation of the 1050 and 1050 Ti in laptops rounds out the new 10-series range, which also features the GTX 1060, GTX 1070, and GTX 1080.
