MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Gaming X Review

The Gears Of War 4 game’s plot is set 25 years after Gears of War 3 and focuses on JD Fenix, the son of Marcus Fenix. Gears of War is a third-person shooter game, with its core concepts being derived from Resident Evil 4‘s “over the shoulder” perspective, Kill Switch‘s cover system, and Bionic Commando‘s swinging action akin to moving between points of cover. (Wikipedia).

Gears of War 4 is launched via the Windows 10 Store, requires the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to run, and only supports the DirectX 12 API.

We test using the High quality preset. Dynamic Resolution scaling was turned off and Async Compute was enabled where the GPU supported it.

Gears of War 4 makes for better reading for the GTX 1050 Ti's performance numbers. The DX12 game puts MSI's overclocked GTX 1050 Ti at the performance level of an R9 380. The RX 460 4GB is noticeably slower the MSI's GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X, to the point where it drops frame rates down to a borderline playable level.

Yet again, Sapphire's RX 470 4GB graphics card serves the MSI GTX 1050 Ti a comprehensive beating. The £15-20 more expensive AMD-powered board is 24 FPS faster, on average.
