Performance
GPU clock speed
1290MHz
1607MHz
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
GPU turbo
1392MHz
1733MHz
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
pixel rate
41.
3 GPixel/s
128.6 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
floating-point performance
1.98 TFLOPS
8.23 TFLOPS
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
texture rate
61.9 GTexels/s
257.1 GTexels/s
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
GPU memory speed
1752MHz
2500MHz
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
shading units
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
texture mapping units (TMUs)
TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.
render output units (ROPs)
The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.
Memory
effective memory speed
7008MHz
10000MHz
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
maximum memory bandwidth
112.1GB/s
320GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
GDDR version
GDDR5X
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
memory bus width
128bit
256bit
A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.
Supports ECC memory

✖MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
✔Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
Supports 3D
✔MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
✔Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).
supports DLSS
✖MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
✖Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.
