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

At 1440p Ultra, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti averages 48 fps in World of Tanks, per TechSpot. For local LLM inference it generates 19.1 tokens/sec running Llama 7B at Q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub. In 3DMark Time Spy (overall) it scores 2,320 points, per HWBOT. Its 4 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the Llama 7B run above (7B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card.

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.
