Optimizing GTX 1050 Ti

Hello, i have hp omen, old model 2016 with i7 7700HQ which runs super fast, but 1050ti is giving me some lag in games on higher settings. Are there any optimization for 1050ti in laptop? I dont play for hours, just like an hour or two at once. Didnt find anything usefull with search

 

Try to OC with msiab, max out with dual channel ram, fresh copy of win10 ltsc, get rid of bloatware/background apps, max fans in whatever controls your fan speed, game only on ssd, OS on SSD, turn down the settings like AA and other exotic type of settings on lots of modern games, play at 900p or lower/set resolution scaling to lower, repaste cpu/gpu for better temps, undervolt cpu, use win10 max performance power settings, set to max power/max perf in nvidia control panel, always plugged in when gaming, etc etc etc

 

Ah yes, forgot to mention i skimmed down windows as much as possible and tweaked it. So thats it about that. Evereything is on ssd. I will look in to OC. Ihave 16gb ram, forgot to mention. Will do repaste. Thanks for now.

 

honestly its nice running 1080p but 900p looks crisp and pretty close on a 17in and less laptop...just play at 900p should boost your performance drastically

 

FYI 1050ti isn't made for demanding games it should be at least 1060ti or higher model to prevent lags.

 

its funny a year ago the 1050ti was more than enough for 1080p gaming and now its basically obsolete.....if only the 1060 i own would last the xsx and ps5 generation

 

ikr, but its still good for running most games, now that i have oced it, it runs fornite with no problem, around 80 to 90 celsius

 

This happens when new consoles appear and massively raise the baseline.

The Xbox One basically had an HD 7790, the PS4 a 7850, PS4 Pro a gimped RX 480, One X a juiced RX 580. Now the PS5 has a RTX 2070 and the Series X a 2080 level AMD RDNA2.

The 1060 went from sleepwalking through PC ports to being near the minimum recommended GPU.

 

yeah but i might just squeek by on low/medium

 

To be fair Pascal GPUs lasted almost 5 years which is a record for laptop GPUs.

A 1050ti is between the performance of a 965m and a 970m i think.

I think laptops with a 1660ti and above will no issues with the PS5/XSX generation as long they stick to 1080p and dont mind running on Medium to High settings.

 

xbsx is a 2080 basically but its running at 4k
my target is 1080p so 1/4th of 4k
2080s power divided by 4 = 1060


that is in a perfect world..lol

i guess and thats all we can do that in 2 years you will need a 2070 for 1080p

 

There are so many types of games to just rule out a 1050ti for 1080p is crazy, sure new massive games it will chug at unrealistic settings and you're missing out on the rt/dlss but that's about it. If you're not a huge gamer you may have missed tons of awesome games over the years that the 1050ti is perfectly capable of playing. There are people still playing FHD on 680m's.

 

?consoles are going to change everything

 

honestly the 1050 ti is enough but not for all games cyberpunk as an example, but honestly only crappy ports will not be playable

 

I have very similar specs to you and likely the same shared gpu/cpu heat pipes. Running an undervolt on throttlestop is a must imo. I also repaste and clean out the vents on a regular basis. I dont really play e-sports titles, so cpu isnt as important to me in gaming and disable turbo boost in throttlestop to give my gpu more thermal leeway. I also play in 900p in the more gfx intensive games like warhammer 2 and watch dogs 2, and really hardly notice much difference from 1080p. I also set a gpu undervolt, although I hardly use it.

 

yeah ikr....900p vs 1080p is so slight i can run witcher at 1080p but a few times i turned it to 900p just to lower temps with vsync on and a few times i forgot i was running 900p

 

Especially if you use sharpening in nvidia control panel 900p is not that bad, I even use it for the same reasons in some games like lower temps, more fps etc

 

also nvidia has something called geforce now and its just like gaming natively witlh a touch of input lag so not good for cs go but third person its the way to go

 

For me the great advantage of laptops in gaming is the screen size. It makes little to no sense increasing resolution beyond 1080p in a 15 or 17 inch screen. What's more important imo, is getting a screen that can scale well at lower resolutions. And as a 51 yr old gamer, I'm kinda past chasing the newest and best hardware out there. There are still many games I can enjoy on my system even if I can't play them at ultra.

 

Cp77 if you drop the resolution and certain settings it will play, game is great looking at low/med mix, I played a good chunk on the 1650m at 900p/50fps and it still looked awesome. Played RDR2 on the performance preset and it looked amazing at 45fps avg. So a 1050ti you'd just drop settings even more and not notice the lower quality that much. It's about a 400$ used laptop so not too costly either.

 

yeah cyberpunk runs at 900p and rdr 2 at 1080p but all low on the 1050ti so yeah the card is still good

 

Another plus is it's pascal, so you're getting the desktop version in a laptop so it's easy to see what the perf would be no matter what benches you look at.

 

its not that its a bad card its that it will only be able to do 720p low this console generation

 

would you help me undervolt? I tried and failed miserably lol. I did manage to max out graphich with msi afterburner, with clock core +190 and memory clock at +330. But it runs on about 80 to 90 degreess. Still i think its ok to get up to 100 degrees lol.

 

as long as it doesnt throttle it doesnt matter they are designed too run very hot and will throttle if they get too hot

 

the problem with undervolting now is a lot of laptop manufacturers disabled it in the most recent bioses. in my laptop for example, i had to revert back to an older bios to get undervolt working and prevent windows from updating the bios by disabling a setting in bios also. the first thing you have to check is whether your laptop bios has disabled undervolting and if that is the case, if you can rollback to an older bios and prevent windows from updating the bios itself.

there is a post in these forums that lists many of the laptops affected. search out your model. or head over the the manufacturer sub forum and check if your laptop does indeed have this 'plundervolt' issue.

 

yea it doesnt throttle even a little bit. So its running great

 

nice...yeah my thin and light gaming laptop gets 91c on gpu often and throttles sucks but thats the price you pay

 

1050ti is for medium settings 1080p

um

whats the visual difference between 4k ultra and medium 1080p on a. <17in screen....nothing...sigh people really are dumb as a whole 100iq isnt exactly smart

 

1050 - low end / ideal 720p/60fps-1080p/30fps
gpu limits 94C thermal 97C slowdown 104C shutdown

OC not make sense --must set voltage curve "under power limit" + OC on CORE only
mem - only raise your power limit faster


for this GPU need skill for game visual options ,.,set all custom // lower resolution

for medium settings 1080p - gtx 1070 // 60fps lock
1050 - low/medium - 30fps /60fps

 

nice ty 4 that

the 1050ti is a nice card 4 sure but i dont think its very future proof
