GeForce GTX 1070 vs Geforce GTX 1050: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1070 vs Geforce GTX 1050
The GeForce GTX 1070 is dramatically faster, around 267% ahead of the Geforce GTX 1050. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 1070 packs 1,920 CUDA cores versus 640 on the Geforce GTX 1050.
Price & Value
The Geforce GTX 1050 currently lists from $2,236 BRL, $485 BRL less than the GeForce GTX 1070 at $2,722 BRL. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 201%. The Geforce GTX 1050 still sits about $2,127 BRL above its $109 BRL MSRP. The GeForce GTX 1070 still sits about $2,343 BRL above its $379 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Geforce GTX 1050 is the gentler choice at 75W versus 150W. The GeForce GTX 1070 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 150W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce GTX 1070 carries 8GB versus 2GB on the Geforce GTX 1050. The extra 6GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce GTX 1070's memory is also faster — 256 GB/s versus 112 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: Geforce GTX 1050 or GeForce GTX 1070?
The GeForce GTX 1070 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Geforce GTX 1050 if you find it at a steep discount.
