"Specifications wise, the new GeForce GTX 1050 model boasts the GP107 GPU which looks to be the same SKU as the GTX 1050 Ti. This core features 768 CUDA cores, 1392 MHz base clock and 1518 MHz boost clock. The core specifications alone make it faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. But in terms of memory, we are looking at 3 GB VRAM, a 1 GB improvement over the previous GTX 1050 but still 1 GB less than the GTX 1050 Ti.

The memory is clocked at 7 Gbps just like all the other 1050 (Ti) models but is featured along with a 96-bit bus interface with a memory bandwidth of 84 GB/s. The card is still suggested to feature the 75W TDP so we can expect connector less and single 6 pin connector custom models in the market soon"

It all sounds well and good, so the next consideration is going to be the price-point. The core specifications make it impressive, especially because it's going to be a better piece of equipment (in some respects) than the ti. People easily could make this more expensive than the TI and that would ruin any gains to be had. The 3GB gives me concern for the future. DAG files aren't getting any smaller. We're going to see a big change in the GPU mining market as the DAGs for bigger coins hit common thresholds, like 3GB.
