The Performance-Per-Watt From The GeForce GTX 650 To GTX 1050 Series, Compared To AMD RX 460/470

A look at the overall GPU temperature data during the entire benchmarking process for all of the tested hardware.

Lastly, a look at the overall system power consumption over the course of all the benchmarks executed for this article.

The results were very interesting to see with particularly how the performance-per-Watt of the GeForce GTX 1050 have improved measurably beyond the GTX 950 and really a big improvement if you are still running a GeForce GTX 650 or GTX 750 series graphics card. The performance-per-dollar showed the GeForce GTX 1050 graphics cards at around $109 USD to really deliver the best bang for your buck. The only time the AMD results were really competitive on Linux in power efficiency or performance-per-dollar was during the OpenCL benchmarking. The RX 470 used for testing did win over the GTX 1050 cards in some of the raw OpenGL benchmarks, but that card will set you back $189 USD compared to $149 for the GTX 1050 Ti.

Hope you found this latest data for the GeForce GTX 1050 series on Linux interesting. If Phoronix Premium readers have any other test requests, feel free to let me know as always.
