So now we have a super low end, a low end, a semi low end, a semi medium low end, a medium low end, a medium end, a super medium end, semi high end, high end, super high end, TURBO high end, and SUPER DUPER TURBO high end…

Calm the fuck down Nvidia

[Da Space Core]

Its probably the ram shortage

[AtomicSans]

Just to make it clear, DO NOT buy this.

All this is ultimately doing is confusing the shit out of everyone that's looking to buy a 1050 series GPU, since it looks as though NVIDIA isn't gonna brand it any different to the regular 2GB version. And yeah, NVIDIA honestly has no idea what they're doing with their GPU lineups when they're bringing out shit like this

[Xarxes The Great]

There's literally no reason that I can think of why this needs to be a thing, or why someone would buy it... Seems so pointless.

[Cakebatyr]

Remember how the GPP was intended to "reduce confusion in the GPU market"?

[Lyokanthrope]

But...why?

[RandomGamer342]

Its memory bandwidth is slower than the other 1050/1050Ti, so it's probably going to perform like garbage
