The Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti is one of the modest and low-end graphics
cars in nowadays, despite that you can play great games including the latest
games on top of them Triple-A games, without even overclocking it.
First things first,
The max resolution that the 1050 Ti can offer is 1080p, and the
graphics settings vary from game to game,to increase the Framerate and have a great gaming experience, make sure
you turn off, change it or set it to low these options: Shadows,
Post-Processing, Depth of Field, SSAA (Supersampling Anti-Aliasing), Chromatic Aberration,
Reflections, Bloom, Lens Flare.
Anti-Aliasing: It’s better to use
TXAA, and if you’re missing some FPS enable FXAA, AA doesn’t affect GPU it
affects the VRAM.
Ambient Occlusion (AO): always choose SSAO (Screen-Space Ambient
Occlusion).
Target Framerate: Adjust it according to your monitor’s refresh rate,
otherwise activate V-Sync.
Miscellaneous: i5 processors is better for people who play without
streaming or recording, i7 is better for people who stream and use screen
recorders. An 8GB RAM is better, and 4 GB RAM isn’t enough and will give bad
experience.
Metro Exodus
Need For Speed: Heat
Metro Exodus
Need For Speed: Heat
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
You can play this EA masterpiece using epic settings, and to have the
best experience it is recommended to turn off these options above.
The video below is a detailed benchmark.
Borderlands 3
Yes! You can play children of vault game by 2K using the 1050 Ti, but
only using Direct X 11, and either Low or Medium graphics settings, and it is a
RAM intensive game so be careful.
The video below is a detailed benchmark, it shows many details.
Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout
This JRPG game that her protagonist's thighs made the fuss, published by
Koei Tecmo, and developed by Koei Tecmo Games and Gust is playable too. Make
sure you adjust some settings in the Launcher to enjoy.
Below is the video of the performance benchmark.
Life is Strange 2
This adventurous game developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published
by Square Enix. You can play it using VERY HIGH settings, and play it smoothly.
The game will become a nightmare when the framerate drops below 30FPS, and
guess what? You can play all the episodes including the 5th.
The below video gives you a hint on how to increase the framerate, without
sacrificing image quality.
Code Vein
The JRPG game of vampires (revenants) by Bandai Namco Entertainment is playable even when cranking
up the graphics settings to the ULTRA. But be mindful of refresh rate and
V-Sync to avoid tearing.
Below is full walkthrough (benchmarked) to show you.
RESIDENT EVIL 2 / BIOHAZARD RE:2
You can kill the zombies whether it’s Claire or Leon, and top of that
you can use mods, the downside of this game when using GTX 1050 Ti is that it
uses too much VRAM (up to 12GB). There’s bad news and good news, the bad news
is that you can’t play it using the ULTRA, and the good news is that you can
play it using other graphics presets offered by the game.
The benchmark video below tested all graphics presets in the game,
choose the one that suits you.
The Outer Worlds
Yes, the game by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Private
Division that created a place for stupid people is also playable using ULTRA.
Below is a benchmark of 1050Ti using ULTRA Preset, playing as a stupid.
A Plague Tale: Innocence
The game of rats, inquisition, and de Rune family developed by Asobo Studio
and published by Focus Home is playable. The game is fun, you’ll have a journey
full of stealth, horror, and men-eating rats along with the gorgeous Amicia and
her little brother Hugo.
Video below shows the ULTRA settings test, and the best settings to have
the best experience.
Total War: Three Kingdoms
Great news you can play it, but you’ll face a great problem which is
loading screen taking too long (up to 6 minutes). Turn-based strategy real-time tactics video game
developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega.
This benchmark below tested default game graphics preset, Ultra, and a
recommendation on raising the framerate without losing the quality.
The Sinking City
The game developed by Frogwares and published by Bigben Interactive, inspired
from H.P. Lovecraft works (Cthulhu), playing as Charles Reed who’s a private
eye in a city that hates newcomers is playable too, you can play it using ULTRA
or RECOMMENDED settings below.
Far Cry New Dawn
Yes! You can shoot em’ up using only GTX 1050 Ti, this great game by the
French company Ubisoft. You’ll be able to play it, using the ULTRA settings,
below there’s three graphics options benchmarked and it is up to you what to
works better for you.
Remnant: From the Ashes
The game full of Roots developed by Gunfire Games and published by
Perfect World Entertainment, you can play it using ULTRA settings, and even use
mods, cheats, and trainers. The game isn’t GPU or CPU intensive.
Below I tested three graphical presets (Ultra, Default, and my Recommendation).
The Surge 2
Hell yeah! You can play it using the GTX 1050 Ti, but the downside about
it that it can’t be played using ULTRA (the worst), but played either using
default/mid or my recommendation below.
Blair Witch
This horror first person game is playable despite the low framerate (30
FPS give or take) the game runs smoothly using the 1050 Ti with the Highest
settings.
Below is the benchmark.
World War Z
This game runs like charm with GTX 1050 Ti, but here’s the trick. You’ll
be chosen between two choices, either use DirectX or Vulcan and of course
Vulcan is way better than DirectX.
The video below shows the difference in framerate between DirectX and
Vulcan.
Gears 5
Fuck yeah! You can play it smoothly with our modest graphics card, and
even in 2K and 4K, but be careful! GTX 1050 Ti runs 1080p with high proficiency.
I tested the game in the video below using different graphics presets
with different resolutions.
Good luck Kait is waiting for you!
RAGE 2
Oh fuck! My favorite game, when insanity rules, a post-apocalyptic, open
world game, First Person Shooter by Bethesda and Id Software. The game runs
smoothly and most of the problems and bugs are from the developers. You can
play it using the 1050 Ti, but it’s recommended to set your target FPS
according to your monitor’s refresh rate, disable some useless effect mentioned
above such as (Chromatic Aberration, Motion Blur…etc) but don’t set the shadows
to low set them to mid, because the game will become shitty.
Below is the benchmark against a hardcore Abadon Giants (D and D’s
Hood).
Greedfall
You can play it on ULTRA setting, provided that you turn off or set to
low the mentioned above such as Shadows, Post-Processing…etc.
Watch the benchmark video.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
This game that drove people crazy, it’s too damn hard but playable even
using the Max graphics settings without a single lag or chop, the framerate won’t
drop below 40, which is great.
CONTROL
Developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games, is
playable with the highest graphics settings, and despite the low framerate (30
FPS) it runs like charm, when in doubt tweak the above options in graphics
settings to increase the framerate.
Below is the benchmark video
Jesse Faden is waiting for you!
