MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Gaming X Review

Unigine provides an interesting way to test hardware. It can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset. A lot of their customers claim that they have never seen such extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand.

Heaven Benchmark is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on advanced Unigine engine from Unigine Corp. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. Interactive mode provides emerging experience of exploring the intricate world of steampunk. Efficient and well-architected framework makes Unigine highly scalable:

• Multiple API (DirectX 9 / DirectX 10 / DirectX 11 / OpenGL) render
• Cross-platform: MS Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) / Linux
• Full support of 32bit and 64bit systems
• Multicore CPU support
• Little / big endian support (ready for game consoles)
• Powerful C++ API
• Comprehensive performance profiling system
• Flexible XML-based data structures

We set Quality to ‘Ultra’, Tessellation to ‘Normal’, Anti-Aliasing to 2x and the resolution to 1920×1080 (1080p).

Unigine Heaven shows a similar story to 3DMark, although this time the AMD competitors fare a little worse. The MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X manages to overtake an R9 380 from yesteryear, and nips on the heels of a factory-overclocked R9 380X.

Compared to the RX 470 4GB, MSI's card is, yet again, in a completely difference performance tier. But the GTX 1050 Ti offering is also significantly faster than the RX 460 4GB.
