In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB.
The RTX 2070 has a 120 MHz higher core clock speed and 96 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1050 Ti. This results in the RTX 2070 providing 141.1 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 RTX 2070 has a 120 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the GTX 1050 Ti. This results in the RTX 2070 providing 48.9 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 RTX 2070 was released over a year more recently than the GTX 1050 Ti, and so the RTX 2070 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 1050 Ti.
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 RTX 2070 has 4096 MB more video memory than the GTX 1050 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RTX 2070 also has superior memory performance overall.
The RTX 2070 has 335.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1050 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2070 is massively better than the GTX 1050 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB has 2304 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB has 768. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 4216 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1050 Ti is 1443. The RTX 2070 having 2773 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2070 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 1050 Ti.
The RTX 2070 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 1050 Ti. This means that the RTX 2070 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 1050 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB requires 175 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2070 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GTX 1050 Ti. The RTX 2070 requires 100 Watts more than the GTX 1050 Ti to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2070 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 1050 Ti.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB is a High-End Graphics Card based on the 12nm Turing Architecture and is considered a great 1440p video card. This is a dual-slot graphics card with three 80mm fans equipped with special fan blade design for low noise, high air volume cooling, premium trio copper pipe cooling, all-black design, and RGB lighting. Architecture It equips a cut-down Turing GPU Codenamed TU106, more specifically the TU106-400A-A1 variant which means factory overclocks are permitted. This is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 16 SM activated, offering 2304 CUDA Shader Processing Units, 144 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing (RTX) technology. It is equipped with 288 Tensor Cores for AI purposes and 32 RT Cores for ray-tracing. GPU The central unit runs at 1410 MHz and goes up to 1830 MHz in Boost Mode, providing a large 13% overclocked compared to the reference model. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of Second Gen GDDR6 through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. Total memory bandwidth is 448GB/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 175W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with one available 8-pin and one 6-pin power connector. Performance The GeForce RTX 2070 offers performance in between the GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, albeit also boasting ray-tracing and DLSS support. System Suggestions The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is one of Nvidia's lower end graphics card. It is competing against AMDs more affordable gaming cards, like the newer RX 470. 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 6 SM activated and 768 Shader Processing Units, 48 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1290MHz and goes up to 1392MHz when the Boost Clock is triggered in game. Memory The GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 3504MHz. 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 Ti 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 55+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card will be faster than the performance of the outgoing GTX 960 System Suggestions GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a modern CPU like the i5-6500 and 8GB of RAM for minimal system bottleneck. | |||
