The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Q&A Session

We also had the opportunity to ask NVIDIA some questions about the new cards. Check out the Q&A session!

Some key takeaways from the Q&A session :

• The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 and GeForce GTX 1050 are NOT certified VR Ready. NVIDIA recommends the GeForce GTX 1060 and above.
• They do NOT have SLI capability (obviously).
• There won’t be any Founder’s Edition for these two cards.
• They will both support NVIDIA Ansel.
• They can be used as PhysX cards.
