The 1050 Ti was the premium discrete GPU option in the XPS 15 in 2018. That only got upgraded to the 1650 last year. Maybe that's as much a ding on Dell as anything else, but either way, lots of us are still rocking those laptops and they're hardly "below entry level".
- duncanawoods 6y agoNah. I have this laptop too and at the time, the 1050TI was considered underwhelming but "well this laptop isn't for gaming, it's a business laptop". The contemporary Surface Book 2 had a 1060 with almost double the performance and people were kind of pissed.

- duncanawoods 6y agoWell thanks for posting CPU benchmarks in a discussion about GPUs.
- fastball 6y agoWasn't the point. I also posted RAM and SSD numbers.
