MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Gaming X Review

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game played from either a first-person or third-person view. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. Outside of missions, players may freely roam the open world.

Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series. It may be fully explored after the game’s beginning without restriction, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content.

We use the Very High quality settings (or the highest alternative – generally High – when Very High is unavailable). MSAA is disabled in order to target 60FPS+, and the Advanced Graphics options are set at moderate levels.

Grand Theft Auto V gives us a look at DX11 performance from a battle-hardened title that should be free of major performance bugs at this point in its life-cycle. The MSI GTX 1050 Ti manages to overtake the R9 380 and is sat battling with an R9 380X. With that said, minimum frame rates for the GTX 1050 Ti are consistently lower than those offered by the R9 380X.

Compared to the RX 460 4GB and RX 470 4GB, MSI's GTX 1050 Ti sits pretty much in the middle of the two, in terms of average FPS. The new MSI card opens up a performance advantage over the overclocked GTX 960 4GB. This is likely due to GTA V's longer benchmark run and the low-power GTX 1050 Ti being able to better maintain its maximum boost clocks than our GTX 960 competitor.
