NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti — Benchmarks & Specs

4 GB VRAM75W TDP$139 MSRP2016

Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti?

For local LLM inference it generates 19.1 tokens/sec running Llama 7B at Q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp CUDA benchmark thread. Its 4 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 7B-parameter models at Q4.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a graphics card from the Pascal family released in 2016 from NVIDIA. Key on-paper specs include 4 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, 75W TDP. It launched with a $139 MSRP, though street prices typically diverge meaningfully from launch pricing — see the linked product cards below for current Amazon listings. Data on this page draws on 1 community AI inference report, aggregated from public benchmark databases (TechPowerUp, PassMark, Geekbench, Cinebench) and the LocalLLaMA community. Read this page when shopping the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, comparing it against other graphics cards in your build, or sizing it for a specific workload (gaming at 1080p/1440p/4K, productivity benchmarks, or local LLM inference).

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.
