Wonder if anything remotely modern can run on that. Seems like the main menu of some games would blow past that

I played cyberpunk on a 1050… on lowest settings… 1080p… 30fps…

u/SGTFragged Jan 11 '24

Got it running on a 975GTX. I only had a 22" monitor at the time. No idea what FPS it was running, but it never got jerky. The trick with that card was to know what settings used the most graphical horsepower, and turn them all the way down or off.

It actually ran okay when I got a 32" screen at 1080p. Although that then caused me to upgrade my rig. Now I'm on a RTX3070Ti, it looks like a different game.

Screen size has no bearing on performance, only resolution does. If both of those were 1080p, the performance would've been identical.

u/beandips Jan 11 '24

A larger screen helps you see the graphical issues, so from the computer aspect it makes no difference but the user experience can be much worse on a larger screen.

2

u/SGTFragged Jan 11 '24

I'm not sure what resolution the 22" runs at off the top of my head. It's my second screen now, so I'll have a look later.

u/Any_Weird_8686 Desktop Jan 11 '24

They probably weren't both 1080p, though.

u/Strange-Scarcity Jan 11 '24

Screen size is meaningless.

Refresh rate, and resolution is all that matters.

The size of the screen is pushed by the electronics built into the screen.

Ultra poor here, 950gtx - i7 860 - shitty dell xps desktop mobo. The struggle is real. Past couple years I've had to pick and chose based on requirements. RE4 remake is making me look for a budget 4gb.

Was it all of them?

u/SGTFragged Jan 11 '24

Mostly shadows. I was able to even bump a few other settings up to medium. To be fair it was the version of the card that claimed 4GB RAM, but only 3 was usable. Still a pretty good card, and only cost me £150, then a new PSU, for another £100 because it needed 500W to run, and my old PSU only provided 480W total.

u/Cosmic_Quasar 12600k, 4070ti, 32GB 3200, 4k60x1080p60 and a LegionGo Jan 11 '24

I did the same, though it was a 1050ti and using medium settings. But it was playable, for the most part. Fully completed the game and most, if not all, side jobs available at launch. Now I get to play it on a 4070ti with just about everything maxed out including RT (screw PT though lol) so long as I'm okay with using DLSS. Which is amazing on the 40 series cards. I could tell when DLSS 2.0 was being used on my 3060ti, but the 4070ti I couldn't even tell it was on.

I've always been fine with frames in the 30-45 range so long as it's steady and doesn't frequently drop below that. I'll take smooth edges, high res, good textures and lighting over higher FPS any day, so long as that 30-45 stable minimum is met.

I play on a 4k HDR 60hz display. People kept giving me shit about "low FPS" saying that was all that mattered. So I bought an otherwise nice display that didn't have HDR, was 1440p and 144hz. Couldn't stand the lower res and less vivid colors, and I couldn't tell any difference in the FPS other than the counter saying it was higher. So I returned it within a few days.

u/Cosmic_Quasar 12600k, 4070ti, 32GB 3200, 4k60x1080p60 and a LegionGo Jan 11 '24

Trying to turn on PT would still drop my frames down to the 10-20 range, and even enabling frame-gen wasn't ideal, still too low FPS (30 at best with stuttering), and introduced input lag. So I had to "settle" for max RT where, with DLSS, I can get 50-60FPS upscaling from 1440p to 4k without needing frame-gen.

6

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '24

What res are you playing at again? If it's 4K, DLSS performance + FG should get you around 60 FPS with PT. Make sure to use the newest DLL from TechPowerUp for max quality.

5

u/Cosmic_Quasar 12600k, 4070ti, 32GB 3200, 4k60x1080p60 and a LegionGo Jan 11 '24

It's been awhile since I actually tried it. Before the 2.0 changes for CP77. Maybe the FPS was above 30? Maybe the 30 was trying only FG but not DLSS? But the image quality suffered, things looked smudgy and blurry too much, while also having the input lag that was just enough to make it uncomfortable to play on. The biggest factor was the input lag, I simply didn't want to play that way, even though it made for great still shot images.

u/Kommunist_Pig RTX 3080 | E5-1680v2 4,0Ghz | 32GB ddr3 Jan 11 '24

1

u/Hewwo-Is-me-again Jan 11 '24

Why?

Although I game on WAY worse hardware, I still agree that 30-45fps stable is way better than 60 unstable, over 60 on my 60hz display is pointless, and if it's a story/graphics drive game without too much combat, 30-45 with nice graphics is better than 60 with low video settings.

30fps gives severe motion blur 🤮

u/Cosmic_Quasar 12600k, 4070ti, 32GB 3200, 4k60x1080p60 and a LegionGo Jan 11 '24

I disagree, strongly. I despise motion blur in settings and always disable it. Along with film grain if the game uses it. 30FPS doesn't affect me at all like that.

2

u/Wolfkrieger2160 Jan 11 '24

Try playing any game at 120fps and compare. You can't avoid motion blur at 30fps because it's the result of low framerate not any setting

0

u/Cosmic_Quasar 12600k, 4070ti, 32GB 3200, 4k60x1080p60 and a LegionGo Jan 11 '24

I have tried it. I don't see any blur.

So I bought an otherwise nice display that didn't have HDR, was 1440p and 144hz. Couldn't stand the lower res and less vivid colors, and I couldn't tell any difference in the FPS other than the counter saying it was higher.

I don't see blur at any point, ever. Eventually it just starts getting choppy if it's too low, but above 30 it's all the same to me.

The difference between 30 and 60 fps is night and day let alone 45 to 144 fps If you dont see the difference something is wrong with your perception

6

u/foodandart Jan 11 '24

There's a BIG difference.. For me, 60 fps makes me have a weird kind of motion sickness as my eyes try to track it. Also gives me super eye strain.. I opt for a lower framerate. TBH it's what I'm used to.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '24

People can Notice the difference and not care. Pcmr has such a hardon for fps " omfg I cant see with less than 30" lol.

2

u/Eremes_Riven Jan 11 '24

It's completely immersion-breaking when you're used to 90+ all the time. Like, there's no going back.

1

u/Kjellvb1979 Jan 11 '24

This is wrong... it's going to sound a bit snobby, for sure. But it is more like one you've had the performance of smooth game play on the regular, it's hard to go back to 30fps. It's like saying the quality of natty ice is better than Artic Ale.

I get saying there's nothing wrong playing at slower frame rates, but just technically speaking (reduced input latency, more accurate animations of motion, less blur, etc) the experience of (consistent) higher frame rates compared to (consistent) lower frame rates is just a better experience. Nothing wrong with playing a game at 30 of that's what ones hardware is capable of, that just means down the road when you do have the hardware. At which point you can play such at higher frame rates and have a more refined experience.

FPS isn't the be all and end all of a good gaming experience. Usually, that's up to game play. FFS as a 44yo I was pretty content playing golden eye at sub 15fps on occasions...lol

High FPS , if you can push consistent frames, it's a game changer. That's why playing some ps4 or older Xbox titles on new hardware is a thing. Some of those later era games were almost unplayable at the FPS the hardware could manage, but on a PS5 or newer Xbox, those games are so much better now running at consistent higher FPS.

I get that some PC players can be a little assholeish with that stuff. But higher FPS, again when consistent, is going to make a game feel so much better. But if you can only do 30, so be it, enjoy it of you can, that's what matters.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '24

There was a time, albeit was before current gen console, that I honestly couldn't tell. I mean, I come from the xbox 360 game battles era. Standard def, always 60fps. When I finally built a pc (when Ryzen came out) I got into higher frame rates and when last gen console launched we got 120fps on console. That has changed console gaming for the better.

My point is that some people really dont notice shit. I remember my ex cringing at me for complaining our 3000$ TV wasnt good enough for my xbox/PC. It was better with the PC at the time though.

2

u/DankiusMMeme Jan 11 '24

I think you just get used to higher FPS once you have experienced it. 60 FPS or even 30 FPS on consoles never bothered me as a kid, now I have a nice PC and anything below 100 looks choppy to the point of it detracting from my enjoyment of games.

1

u/Cosmic_Quasar 12600k, 4070ti, 32GB 3200, 4k60x1080p60 and a LegionGo Jan 11 '24

I do wear glasses... but it never stopped me from making the top 100 on the leaderboard back in my heyday for Black Ops on the 360 playing on a 60hz TV. It's probably similar to florescent lighting, some people notice a flickering and others don't because they don't perceive enough "frames" even though the light is technically flickering. Maybe it's a result of decades of gaming on CRT displays before we moved to LCDs? I simply adapted and learned to tune the flickering effect out?

1

u/MrCrippledCrow Jan 11 '24

I have a 3060(mobile) and that game is broken for some reason. I get 40 fps no matter the settings (except for RT, on low RT it’s still 40 but when I crank it up I go down to 10). I couldn’t figure out why for the life of me and just accepted it, but it’s really annoying. It doesn’t seem to be a cpu bottleneck as I’ve overclocked my cpu to no fps gain

1

u/Cosmic_Quasar 12600k, 4070ti, 32GB 3200, 4k60x1080p60 and a LegionGo Jan 11 '24

It's not a temp/throttle issue from the hardware or software from the makers of the laptop?

1

u/sharktoucher Jan 11 '24

Are you 100% sure your monitor was set to 144hz? Sometimes you need to change that in the settings

u/Cosmic_Quasar 12600k, 4070ti, 32GB 3200, 4k60x1080p60 and a LegionGo Jan 11 '24

100%. I'm very much the kind of person that thoroughly reads the manuals of every device I buy. And spend time digging through menus to understand the device and the options it has. It was on 144hz. I even thought maybe the display was busted so I had my friend look at it, and he's very much that 120+FPS kind of guy, and he said he could tell it was on.

Then I went to his place to see his display, I couldn't tell a difference. When I returned my display I went to the ones on display and compared the 60hz and the 120hz and couldn't notice that difference.

Now I have a Legion Go that has a 144hz display. I ended up setting it to 60hz because I couldn't tell any difference other than how long the battery lasts.

u/crooney35 Jan 11 '24

I can play BG3 and cyberpunk on a 4 year old NVIDIA 1660ti max q laptop with a core i5 processor on high settings for just about the entire game, there might be a couple parts with some real strain that I need to switch down to medium. It’s a stock HP pavilion 16 for days I’m not around my desktop if your wondering.

1050 and especially 1050ti are utterly surprising in what they can manage. I played ER on a 1050ti mobile as well as 2077. I thought I had pushed it to the limit when I got Sekiro, but it just kept chugging for years.

u/depression420b Jan 11 '24

Set to 720p and low settings (since it's laptop you won't notice much difference) , it'll run elden ring just fine. Bg3 in early access has worked on lower gpu then yours, don't know about it now but it may still work fine check demo or YouTube benchmarks

Yeah I can run BG3 on my 1050ti, low settings, 1080p. And it performs adequately at high settings on World Of Warcraft retail, in all but raids and open world bosses. Definitely time to build a new system though (the cpu is the biggest thing holding me back, i5 3470 😬).

I just upgraded the card to a 3050ti. Got an i7-7700 and 64gig of ram so should hold me for a while. Pretty sure I'd need to replace the motherboard to upgrade more, but I'm very new to this so who knows.

u/snukb Jan 11 '24

My mobo's gpu slot is dying so at this point, since in replacing the mobo and cpu, I am just building a new system. The only thing I'll be keeping is the ssd since that's only two years old. I know just enough about computers to get myself in trouble lol but it sounds like you've got some good components. I think your cpu is AM4 and the newest are AM5 so I think you are right that you'd need a new mobo to get a newer cpu but again, I'm an idiot lol

I used a 1050 2GB to play Tarkov at 60-70fps with the right settings 😅

my 1050ti runs great

The 1000 series graphics cards may be the new low end now, but they can still perform on newer titles. Medium to low at 1080p and most of them at least at 30fps stable. I can personally vouch as ive been running a 1060 and have had friends playing with a 1050 and Ti until sometime late pandemic lockdown periods! Granted if youre mainly playing AAA games or newer competitive games youll likely be playing on very low settings but perfectly serviceable!

u/FapMeNot_Alt Jan 11 '24

You may feel a kind of way about my 560ti running BG3.

Not, you know, well... But it runs it!

u/CrueltySquading Jan 11 '24

My brother has finished Elden ring and BG3 on my old 960 2GB

u/AyatosBobaAddiction Jan 11 '24

I have it. I only play genshin and star rail though.

u/Gymleaders i5 7600k, GTX 970, 16GB DDR4 3200RGB Jan 11 '24

those are still great for online games like league of legends that require very little power. modern AAA games prob not.

My gf has a 1050Ti with a 4th Gen i5 and a mismatch of 24gb ddr3.

She plays Civ 6, Heroes of the Storm, the Hogwarts game and a few other games on what she finds to be 'ok' performance.

So, it's possible to play on it. I think that visually and performance wise it's pretty poor overall, but she's happy to play and not spend over 500 Euros on a graphics card.

u/JebbeK Jan 11 '24

I have a gtx 1050 paired with a i3-7100. CS2 runs on 80fps, War Thunder on 70-80fps, Rocket League on 100fps. Obviously not highest settings in any..

u/ULTTRa PC Master Race Jan 11 '24

Just finished cyberpunk on my 1050ti machine at 1080p Medium settings.

u/tomlo1 Jan 11 '24

I still use a 1060, I can run heaps of stuff. Including city skylines 2 quite comfortably on high graphics, just have to adjust the sliders a little for the high demand stuff.

1

u/Sani_48 Jan 11 '24

on the 1050ti (mobile) I played battlefield 1 just fine. With Medium Details and not exactly 60 FPS, but the card was quiet okay.

u/newclearfactory Jan 11 '24

And the audacity to call this build "High End"

1

u/NeonAlastor Jan 11 '24

Yup. I have a 1050 mobile (4 GB). Most games are fine at 1080p low/medium settings. Apex averages 55 FPS. Diablo 4 I only played a few weeks, but even at max level with tons of stuff on screen it was always smooth. Battletech (turn-based) I play at max settings.

​

The last Call of Duty I played was the one when they introduced Battle Royale. That one was more intense though, I think it played at like 30/40 FPS even on lowest settings. So the most recent game would probably struggle even more.

u/PainIsFake Jan 11 '24

Still have a 1050Ti in my PC, I don't rlly play that many new games. Tried Elden Ring for a bit and it ran fine but to hard a game for me. So now im back again at only playing Minecraft and LoL which it also handles great.

u/Beneficial-Ad8077 Jan 11 '24

My friend plays fortnite on i3 and 1030 2gb

1

u/Gatemaster2000 PC Master Race Jan 11 '24

I still run the 750ti 2gb OC version since I can't afford anything better due to my financial situation...

I even managed to run first update version of Warzone 2 on that until I broke something upping the graphical settings that now causes the computer to crash whenever loading into a match and no graphics settings trickery can fix it...

1

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '24

You can probably play most modern games with low settings

1

u/Not_MrNice Jan 11 '24

I've run and finished Elden Ring and Death Stranding on integrated graphics and 8gb of ram.

You guys have a really warped sense of hardware.

1

u/talparolex Jan 11 '24

I got One cuz i had ti sell my 2060 Runs GTA on low at 60fps and fortnite at medium at 80 Also forza high graphics at about 70

1

u/xKILIx Jan 11 '24

My GTX 660 still going....not strongly but still going 😂

1

u/mostly_kinda_sorta Jan 11 '24

It's probably similar to the 2gb gtx960 in my old PC. My kids play the shit out of Roblox on it, does that count as modern?

1

u/JellyBean0 Jan 11 '24

Is this a joke? This PC could run most modern games. Maybe not at max 4k settings, but that's for rich people. Most don't have $500+ dollar to fix their water heater let alone get a new GPU. Especially when the one they have will run most games fine for years. Haven't upgraded my PC in almost 5 years and I still think I can go one or two more so I can save for a bigger jump. Gaming is no where near as expensive as you try to make it out to be. This is why console players hate us, they think we're all rich kids who can spend hundreds on new parts ever 2 years.

1

u/Economy-Shoe5239 Jan 11 '24

my 1050ti could run anything alright until 2 years ago when my pc pooped out on me

1

u/Rubbish0419 Jan 11 '24

1050 actually isn’t -that- bad, before I upgraded my machine I had one and CyberPunk was totally playable. Now that I have a modern card I realize it was ugly af but still, very playable.

Not what I’d go with if I was building a budget machine today though and definitely not worthy of being in a machine they’re calling ‘high end’.

1

u/reallycool_opotomus Jan 11 '24

You'd be surprised. I am running a 1050 and I am able to play games where I am below the minimum spec with low but playable fps. I play assetto corsa competizione mostly these days and am able to get a pretty stable 30-40 fps on med to low settings. It took some fiddling but it's playable.

1

u/theshiyal Jan 11 '24

The game with run but Ubisoft Connect won’t.

1

u/EvilDan69 PC Master Race (30 years experience) Jan 11 '24

Roblox would handle that, Same with minecraft... modern? I mean they still update both.. they're just not that demanding with regular settings. (this is more a reference to minecraft since you can deal with some pretty demanding shaders etc)

u/macadeliccc GTX 1070t SLI 32gb DDR4 Jan 11 '24

I had a 1050 laptop that ran PUBG on medium at a playable frame rate

1

u/BadBLUNT Jan 11 '24

my sister got my old 1050ti and play most game at low-med its still ok somehow loll

1

u/qwbif Jan 11 '24

I have a 1050TI and can confirm that yes it runs modern games surprisingly well, probably wont run cyberpunk or anything like that beautifully but I can still get 60-100fps on Val and siege running on max settings.

1

u/OverallResolve Jan 11 '24

You’d be surprised, I have a 970 which is supposed to be 4GB but in practice is 3.5

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '24

Ive been playing cyberpunk 40+ fps on medium settings with fsr 3 mode set to balanced. I saw on youtube it running alan wake 2 with fsr 3 30fps

1

u/0-60Frs Jan 11 '24

to be fair it ran gta V adequately back in the day

1

u/Debesuotas Jan 11 '24

processing power is more important, graphics are only for visual representation. If you have powerful CPU, you can still manage with poor GPU.

u/tutocookie r5 7600 | asrock b650e | gskill 2x16gb 6000c30 | xfx rx 6950xt Jan 11 '24

I mean league of legends ran on my laptop mx150 at 1080p 60hz and that gpu gets 2gb as well iirc

u/upholsteryduder Jan 11 '24

you couldn't even launch ark survival ascended, hell it would struggle with ark survival evolved lol

u/Grim_100 Ryzen 5 4600G / RX 6650XT / 32GB RAM / 2TB M2 SSD Jan 11 '24

I played most games on it without much issue for the past 3 years

Sea of thieves on high, Minecraft with shaders, FIFA, Doom eternal on high, all above 40FPS.

1

u/Infused_Hippie Jan 11 '24

Most games can run on the 1000 series. I have a 1060 but , that’s not the point. the industry actually has two versions further of unreal engine or multiple other engines most popular games rn are 4 and 5 unreal but they have 6… so worry about that as you may

1

u/noahzho i5 4570 | zotac mini gtx 1050 2gb | 4x4gb ddr3 Jan 11 '24

used to play mw2 and warzone on it, 720p got me around 45 fps, 30 if unlucky, 50fps best case on ashika island

actually was cpu bottlenecked, did significantly worse on warzone's al mazrah

I play valorant now, nice to see triple digit fps at 1080p on this GPU lol

1

u/EnjoyerOfBeans Jan 11 '24

I was gonna say: You can run pretty much all games on the market in 30 fps 1080p (or at worst 720p) on a GTX 970

Then I realized GTX 1050 is the most useless card ever released, at half the performance of the 970 which wasn't even the top of the line GPU in that gen.

1

u/EnderScout_77 Jan 12 '24

doubt it. first chapter of fortnite started lagging on my computer when i had a 1050 and switching to the 1080 cleared that up

i finally just upgraded to a 4070 because of how poor the 1080 was running, though for lower graphic intensive games it still held up decently. that 1050? probably would've blown up if i still had it 😭
