GTX 680 Vs GTX 1050 _ Modern Gaming Showdown

Introduction to Budget Build Project: KF A Two GTX 680

Hello everyone and welcome to another video. Now this is a KF a two gtx 680 i bought for a budget build project it cost me 70 pounds used at cex with a two year warranty I'm not sure what I'm actually going to build yet so I also bought this gtx 10:50 that in some places costs double the price i paid for the 680 having compared the 680 and 1050 TI many many months ago and finding that they were quite close in performance i then got to thinking about how well the non TI 1050 and 680 would compare and whether or not you should buy the older kepler beast instead there's only one way to find out.

Specifications of KF A Two GTX 680

This KF a two gtx 680 runs at standard reference speeds with a 1006 megahertz core clock and 1050 8 megahertz boost clock it features two gigs of gddr5 memory and nvidia recommend a 550 watt power supply with two 6-pin connectors. The P10:50 also runs at the reference speed stated on invidious website features 2 gigabytes of gddr5 and recommends a 300 watt PSU with no 6 pin connectors required.

Comparison with Five Modern Games

It's time to see how these two cards compare with five modern games starting with assassin's creed origins. I've decided to format the video in split-screen to give you a better side-by-side comparison at 1080p low both card shared a similar average frame rates with a 1050 pulling slightly ahead as can be seen by the 0.1% low of 19 there was more stutter with the 680 especially when turning things up to medium perhaps because of the vram limitation though the 2 gigabyte 1050 didn't stutter nearly as much in far cry 5.

Benchmarking Performance

The side-by-side benchmark footage here shows nearly identical performance figures from the very almost exact average to matching percentile figures. The Rison 5 1600 cpu I used never became a bottleneck meaning at no point did it hold either of these two cards back both cards felt smooth to play with at medium settings though the 1050 d in this case seemed to exhibit the occasional stutter in fortnight at high with 1080p resolution. Both cards made light work of this title averaging around 70 FPS the 1% and point 1% lows were slightly better with the 680 though this minimal difference couldn't be felt.

Gaming Performance Across Different Games

It's harder to gauge completely accurate figures in games with no built-in benchmarking. Different areas of the map may vary in determining which of these GPUs comes out on top either way you'll have a decent gaming experience with both as can be seen I've left the temperature of both cards up throughout and as expected to 1050 will always run cooler and a little quieter than the old-school powerhouse in pub G. Once again it's a similar story the game averaged around 60 FPS on both cards although the maps are different in the footage the figures were taken after playing across both maps with both cards and working out the average combined.

Results with Ghost Recon Wildlands

Finally with ghost recon wildlands guess what the results were stupidly similar with the 680 pulling very very slightly ahead though not enough to feel or notice in actual gameplay. Here I ran the in-game benchmark three times with each card ran the fraps benchmark tests and then it recorded some gameplay which might say gave both cards a little bit of a workout with noticeable micro stutters during intensive or explosive scenes overall these cards come very close.

Conclusion

Overall these cards come very close if you have a 550 watt power supply to 6 pin connectors and can find a 680 under 100 pounds or dollars then it's an ideal choice if you want to buy new hardware have a weaker power supply or just want guaranteed modern support for longer then the 1050 will be the way to go. I certainly didn't expect such closer results today though but as always I hope you guys really enjoyed this video let me know what card you'd pick down below in the comments leave a like on this video if you enjoyed it leave a diss like if you didn't subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already and hopefully I'll see you all in the next one.
