MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Gaming X Review

Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy game set in the future where descendants of humans (called Post- Humans) and a powerful artificial intelligence (called the Substrate) fight a war for control of a resource known as Turinium.

Players will engage in massive-scale land/air battles by commanding entire armies of their own design. Each game takes place on one area of a planet, with each player starting with a home base (known as a Nexus) and a single construction unit.

We opt for the High quality profile and run the GPU-Focused test using the DX12 game mode.

Ashes of the Singularity in DirectX 12 mode puts the MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X at a similar performance level to a slightly overclocked GTX 960 4GB offering. The game engine's preference for AMD hardware means that the 1050 Ti cannot keep pace with R9 380 and 380X offerings from AMD's previous generation.

A Sapphire RX 470 4GB is 53% faster than the MSI card. But MSI is 26% faster than the RX 460 4GB. In this game, MSI's GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X looks like poor value for money.
