GeForce RTX 2070 vs Geforce GTX 1050: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2070 vs Geforce GTX 1050
The GeForce RTX 2070 is dramatically faster, around 400% ahead of the Geforce GTX 1050. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2070 is comfortable at 1080p, while the Geforce GTX 1050 is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce RTX 2070 packs 2,304 CUDA cores versus 640 on the Geforce GTX 1050.
Price & Value
The Geforce GTX 1050 currently lists from $2,236 BRL, $4,109 BRL less than the GeForce RTX 2070 at $6,345 BRL. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 76%. The Geforce GTX 1050 still sits about $2,127 BRL above its $109 BRL MSRP. The GeForce RTX 2070 still sits about $5,846 BRL above its $499 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Geforce GTX 1050 is the gentler choice at 75W versus 175W. The GeForce RTX 2070 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 175W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 2070 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 RTX 2070's memory is also faster — 448 GB/s versus 112 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 2070 is roughly 2 years newer than the Geforce GTX 1050 (Turing vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: Geforce GTX 1050 or GeForce RTX 2070?
The GeForce RTX 2070 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.
