In an attempt to strike a balance between gamers and crypto miners, which have become one of its most lucrative consumer pools recently, Nvidia recently unveiled a new budget GPU. It’s powerful enough to run most games at moderate settings but not good enough to be worth buying for crypto miners. This will at least ensure that the supply holds and won’t inflate prices like crazy.
As Engadget notes, the famed GPU maker will soon be unveiling a new line of its next generation of graphics card. Even then, the company still found the time to actually create the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. As the 3GB implies, this GPU has enough RAM to run most conventional games except for the most demanding ones to produce a decent performance.
However, the RAM is not enough to actually benefit crypto miners when taking the cost into consideration. It’s just not worth getting since it would be useless to them, which would help gamers with smaller budgets who may want to upgrade their old rigs with new ones just to make their PC gaming experience less of an issue.
In terms of what gamers can actually expect from this new GPU, it basically acts like a mix between the GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti, PC World reports. Since it is a video card that splits the difference between those two GPUs, it’s only natural that it would be good in some place but worse in others.
Even so, the configuration appears to be adequate to play most PC games that are available right now. This is even better news for those who only play games that aren’t that demanding or online eSports games such as League of Legends, DOTA 2, or even Fortnite Battle Royale. It might not be a beast GPU, but it will work well enough.
