In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050.
The GTX 1080 Ti has a 126 MHz higher core clock speed and 184 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GTX 1050. This results in the GTX 1080 Ti providing 277.3 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 1080 Ti has a 126 MHz higher core clock speed and 56 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GTX 1050. This results in the GTX 1080 Ti providing 86.9 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 1080 Ti was released less than a year after the GeForce GTX 1050, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 9216 MB more video memory than the GeForce GTX 1050, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 1080 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 372.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 1050, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is massively better than the GeForce GTX 1050.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB has 3584 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1050 has 640. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is 7654 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 1050 is 1257. The GTX 1080 Ti having 6397 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 1080 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GTX 1050.
The GeForce GTX 1050 transistor size technology is 2 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 1080 Ti. This means that the GeForce GTX 1050 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 1080 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB requires 220 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1050 requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 1080 Ti and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GTX 1050. The GTX 1080 Ti requires 145 Watts more than the GeForce GTX 1050 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1080 Ti may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GTX 1050.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB is a High-End Graphics Card based on the Pascal Architecture. Architecture It equips a GPU Codenamed P102, which is a first gen Pascal GPU and has 28 SM units activated, offering 3584 shader processing units, 224 TMUs and 88 ROPs. GPU The central unit runs at 1480MHz and goes up to 1582MHz in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses an 11GB frame buffer of Fast GDDR5X memory, through 352-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1376MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 220W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with available 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors. Performance The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB performance is capable of 2017 AAA gaming at high graphics settings across all games. This GPU will deliver strong frame rates at 4K on any game at high graphics levels. System Suggestions GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160 (4K). We recommend a High-End Processor and 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview The latest GeForce GTX 1050 is Nvidia's lower end graphics card, designed to compete against AMDs more affordable gaming cards, like the RX 460 or RX 470 and expected to replace the outgoing GTX 960. Architecture The Pascal Architecture aims for twice as much performance as the Maxwell Architecture and Introduces support for Second Gen HBM. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed GP107-400 which has 5 SM activated and thus 640 Shader Processing Units, 40 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1354MHz and goes up to 1455MHz with the Boost Clock. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the memory clock Operates at 3504MHz which is outstanding. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, it relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance The GTX 1050 will enable mid level graphics performance on modern AAA 2016 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 50+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card will have slightly faster performance than the GTX 960. System Suggestions The GeForce GTX 1050 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080, so our recommendation would be to use 1600x900 in order to get the most out of your settings. We recommend a high-end processor such as the i5-6500 and 8GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
