GTX1050 is considered a highly cost-effective graphics card, mainly targeting the mid-range to low-end market. It is based on the Pascal core GP107-300, with a core frequency of 1354MHz and a boost frequency of 1455MHz.

Graphics card, also known as video card or display adapter, is one of the essential components in a computer system. It can be categorized into integrated graphics card, dedicated graphics card, and integrated graphics core. As an important part of a computer, the graphics card is responsible for converting digital signals into analog signals and displaying graphical outputs. In scientific computing, the graphics card is referred to as a graphics processing unit (GPU).

GPU, which stands for Graphic Processing Unit, is a concept that is in contrast to the central processing unit (CPU). With the increasing importance of graphics processing in modern computers, especially for gaming enthusiasts, a dedicated graphics core processor is required. The concept was first introduced by NVIDIA when they released the GeForce256 graphics processing chip.
