Yes, but why compare it to an entry card that was released 4 years ago instead of an entry card that's been released in the past 12 months? When the 1050 Ti was released, Donald Trump was trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls. Meanwhile, the 1650 (released April 2020, retails ~$150) is significantly faster than the 1050 Ti. (released October 2016, retailed $140 but can't be purchased new anymore)
- varenc 6y agoThe 1050 is still a desktop class card. The M1 is in tiny notebooks and the Mac Mini, none of which even have the space or thermals to house such a card.

- wtallis 6y agoNVIDIA doesn't make small GPUs very often. The 1050 uses a die that's 135mm^2, and the smallest GeForce die they've introduced since then seems to be 200mm^2. That 135mm^2 may be old, but it's still current within NVIDIA's product lineup, having been rebranded/re-released earlier this year.
