It has more raw horsepower and can easily be overclocked with an additional 150 - 200 MHz.īut as always, it depends on you budget what you should get. If you would choose between a 1050TI and a 970 I would strongly recommend the 970. They more or less fall in line in terms of performance. Heck even a 1060 destroys a 970.Ĭomparing a 970 to a 1050ti is a very valid argument. A 1070 whips the floor with a 970 in every single way. Just because they share the number 70 doesn't mean it's useful to compare them. The gtx 970 is much more powerful compared to the 1050ti, as such the 970 should be the card you go for.Įasy your horses buddy, we need to clear up some things.Ī GTX 970 should never be compared against a GTX 1070. so a 1050ti will be much cooler then the 970. However other things to think of is, cooling solution, graphics card size, etc etc, pascal cards will have better cooling solutions, not only because of the new hardware but also because aftermarket always improve their cooling solutions. however since the question is targeted at a dx11 game, then 970 would be the choice regarding the options you have given. however with that said, all pascal cards will fully support dx12 and other newer frameworks, and as such could in fact perform far better then previous gen cards in the future. It is manufactured by TSMC in the 16 nm process technology. it was released in July 2016 as a replacement to the previous generation’s GTX 960.

The GTX 1060 is a mid-range performance graphics card by Nvidia. It supports DirectX 12.0 and OpenGL 4.5 APIs. 12 hours ago &0183 &32 MSI GTX 1050Ti OC Edition 4GB GDDR5 - Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 TI,PCI Express x16 3.0 ,OpenGL 4.5,GDDR5 4GB,1455 MHz / 1341 MHz ,768,7008 MHz,128-bit,Digital Max Resolution:7680x4320,DisplayPort (v1.4a) HDMI (Supports 4K60Hz as specified in HDMI 2.

With all that said if it has to be between the 9ti, then i would go for the 970, as spec wise it is the far more powerful card. It also features 1 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 1 DisplayPort video connectors. However a better comparison would be between a 970 and gtx 1060ti, and again i would go for the newer card, 1060ti in this case. So your buying factor should be between a 970 or gtx 1070, if this was the case the 1070 is far more powerful then the 970 and as such i would buy the 1070 without question. Gtx 970 = over double the cuda cores (1,664 cuda cores), same memory size cuda cores is what makes the performance for the most part.Ĭlock speeds don't really mean much in the grand scheme of things (when it comes to purchasing 2 different generations of hardware), it only becomes a factor when choosing a graphics card of the same generation, 970 for example The gtx 970 should be compared to the 1070 not the 1050ti, according to specs the 970 should be far stronger then the 1050ti, as it has over double the cuda cores.
