The upcoming GTX 1050 Ti is the successor to the popular GTX 750 Ti from 2014. It is rumored to come with features like low power consumption and the ability to play the latest games at Full HD resolution.

The 1050 Ti chip is rumored to be based on NVIDIA's Pascal GPU design. Currently at the top of the Pascal totem pole is the Titan X. The upcoming GTX 1050 Ti is rumored to not only take the place of the ferocious Titan X, but also undercut it in price as well.

You can expect to get 768 CUDA cores alongside a base clock speed of 1,290MHz and a maximum boost clock of 1,392MHz. There's a full 4GB of GDDR5 memory running at 7,000MHz and a 128-bit memory bus. It's the first card in NVIDIA's 2016 range that doesn't support VR gameplay; you'll need the GTX 1060 to do this. 

It's also rumored that the GTX 1080 Ti will largely mirror the specs of the Titan X, which means it'll retain the GP102 graphics core built on a 16nm FinFET process and 12GB GDDR5X memory.The 1050 Ti has a maximum thermal design power (TDP) of 75W; there won't be room for any extra, because there's no PCI-E power connector on the card drawing power from the PSU. All the power the GTX 1050 Ti requires can be drawn directly from the PCI-E slot.

The 1050 Ti is the best budget option for AAA games played at Full HD. Neglecting the frame rate, there's no game on the market right now that the 1050 Ti won't cater for.

Although, these insights are based on rumors, it stands out that NVIDIA's latest offering will be battling out the AMD's upcoming Vega 10 cards. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is expected to be announced at the CES 2017.
