Gtx 1050 vs gtx 580 sli

Solution
A single Geforce 1050 is about 13% faster than a single Geforce 580.

This would make 2 Geforce 580s in SLI achieve about 80% higher frame rates for games that scale perfectly with SLI.

For games not compatible with SLI forcing you to a single card you would actually lose about 13% in performance using the Geforce 580.

Another difference between the 2 cards is their tdp.

The Geforce 580 has a 244 watt tdp.

The Geforce 1050 has a 75 watt tdp.


The Geforce 1060 will beat 2 Geforce 580s in SLI by about 35%.

You also don't have to worry about SLI compatibility.

580 SLi will be better performance then a single 1050. They would even beat a 1050 Ti. Only down side is the 580's can't do the higher resolutions(2k, 4k) that the 1050's can. Then again, if you want to do higher resolutions you should look for something better then a 1050.

A Geforce 1070 would of course beat a Geforce 1060, but most all Geforce 1070 cards are $800+ due to miners.

I was able to snag 2 Geforce 1060s last week for about $330 each for my ... random number generator machines.
