Oculus Rift S Gtx 1050 Ti

The GTX 1050 is the everyman cost graphics card from NVidia that can run an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, and there are rebates on it from Asus and MSI, bringing the price to as low as $129.99 later on postal service-in rebate (until March 31, 2017).

A VR-set up graphics card is useful to 360 video enthusiasts for two reasons: first, information technology can be used to run a desktop VR system that tin be used to view 360 videos in VR.  2d, a powerful graphics card tin make it faster to return 360 videos.

When the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive were outset launched around this time final twelvemonth, the lowest cost VR-set graphics card was the NVidia GTX 970, which was $329 when it was start released.  Fast forward to tardily 2016, when NVidia released the GTX 1060 3GB ($200) and afterwards the GTX 1050 Ti ($139).


UNIQUE ADVANTAGES

The GTX 1060 3GB barely makes the grade as VR-ready, and NVidia won't even advertise the GTX 1050 Ti every bit VR-ready, so why even carp with the GTX 1050 Ti?  It has a few unique advantages over its more powerful brethren:

one.  It'southward currently the almost powerful graphics card that doesn't require external power.
If your PC doesn't take an available six-pin or viii-pin power connector, then the GTX 1050 Ti is the most powerful graphics card available for y'all, edging out the GTX 950.  Note: please check the specific menu you're getting because some GTX 1050 Ti cards do need a power connector, although most of them don't.

2.  The low-profile version of the GTX 1050 Ti is currently the most powerful depression-profile graphics card.
If y'all have a desktop that can only adjust low-profile graphics cards, and so the GTX 1050 Ti is the most powerful depression-profile graphics card available.

3.Price.
If yous want a stride up in power, NVidia's next everyman cost carte would be GTX 1060 3GB (as low as $180 after postal service-in rebate only until March 31), which is nearly 40% more than the GTX 1050 Ti.

In my case, I ordered a GTX 1050 Ti for the PC I got for rendering files (particularly the Vuze 3D 360 camera).  The PC has an Intel Cadre i5-4590 processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD for $270.  However, it doesn't have a power connector for a graphics card and the case is slim, then I tin only employ low profile cards with information technology.  For this PC, the GTX 1050 Ti depression profile is every bit good as it gets.

As for price, yes information technology's cheaper but if that'due south the only reason you're getting this card, you lot are probably meliorate off with an RX 470 which is now as low as $135 after postal service-in rebate and is much more powerful (unless you absolutely want an NVidia carte).

IS It Really VR-Gear up?

According to PC World's tests, the GTX 1050 Ti performs like a GTX 960 or R9 380.  Co-ordinate to surveys on the HTC Vive subreddit, other users who accept the GTX 960 or R9 380 have managed Vive readiness scores of "Medium," which would make them VR-capable , although not really recommended as VR-ready.

WHAT'S Adjacent?


My chief purpose for getting this card is improving the rendering speed, and when I receive it, I volition postal service rendering speed comparisons before and after getting the card.  I volition also test if it tin can run the Oculus Rift ($499; reviewed hither) and I will cheque its Vive readiness score.  I suspect that despite mediocre performance, the GTX 1050 Ti should exist able to run an Oculus Rift adequately due to Oculus' asynchronous spacewarp.
