When choosing between GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GeForce GTX 970M, it is worth examining the specifications of the models in detail. Do they meet the recommended requirements of modern games and software? Storage capacity, form factor, TDP, available ports, warranty and manufacturer support are all important. For example, the size of a PC case can limit the maximum thickness and length of the card. Often, instead of the factory overclocked card and RGB backlight, it is better to choose a reference model with a more efficient GPU. And make sure that your current power supply unit has the correct connection pins (using adapters is not recommended). This GPUs compare tool is meant to help you to choose the best graphics card for your build. Let's find out the difference between GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GeForce GTX 970M. Show
GeForce GTX 970M is a Laptop Graphics CardNote: GeForce GTX 970M is only used in laptop graphics. It has lower GPU clock speed compared to the desktop variant, which results in lower power consumption, but also 10-30% lower gaming performance. Check available laptop models with GeForce GTX 970M here: GTX 1050 Ti tất nhiên sẽ có một phiên bản dành cho hệ máy xách tay, được gọi là "GTX 1050 Ti Notebook". Cụ thể, các laptop chơi game sử dụng GTX 1050 Ti Notebook cũng sẽ được trang bị GPU GP107, giống với chip đồ họa của các VGA Desktop. Bắt đầu có các rò rỉ về thông số kỹ thuật và sức mạnh của GTX 1050 Ti Notebook. Phiên bản GP107 này sẽ có 768 nhân CUDA, 4GB GDDR5 VRAM và bus là 128-bit, mang tới băng thông bộ nhớ đạt ngưỡng 112GB/s. Các chip đồ họa mới nhất của NVIDIA hiện nay đã bắt đầu được sản xuất trên dây chuyền sử dụng tiến trình 14nm của Samsung.  Xung nhịp mà GTX 1050 Ti Notebook đạt được sẽ là 1490MHz ở chế độ mặc định, boost lên tới 1624 MHz, thông số này thậm chí còn cao hơn so với phiên bản cho máy tính để bàn. Thực sự việc trang bị một chip đồ họa với xung nhịp cao cho những chiếc máy tính xách tay sẽ đặt ra một vấn dề không nhỏ chính là điện năng tiêu thụ của nó. Dù cho có xung nhịp cao hơn phiên bản desktop 1 chút, nhưng các chuyên gia đều cho rằng TDP mà GTX 1050 Ti Notebook đòi hỏi cũng chỉ dừng ở mức 75W hoặc thấp hơn. Thậm chí, điểm benchmark bị lộ ra của chip đồ họa laptop mới này cho thấy nó còn mạnh hơn 10% nếu đặt cạnh GTX 970M trước đây. Các dòng GPU GTX 970M và GTX 980M vốn chỉ được trang bị cho các laptop chơi game cao cấp trong khoảng thời gian 2015 tới đầu năm 2016, trong khi đó laptop chơi game giá rẻ chỉ được sử dụng các chip đồ họa trung cấp như GTX 950M hay GTX 960M vốn không mang lại hiệu năng thực sự tốt. Nếu như GTX 1050 Ti Notebook được ra mắt để thay thế cho GTX 950M / 960M thì hứa hẹn trong tương lai gần, các laptop chơi game giá rẻ sẽ có được sức mạnh đồ họa không kém gì các laptop đắt tiền trước đây. Dưới đây là video thử nghiệm tựa game DOOM với một laptop chạy GTX 1050 Ti Notebook, thiết lập Ultra ở độ phân giải 1080p, mọi thứ diễn ra rất mượt mà khi FPS luôn đạt ở ngưỡng 50-60. General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.
