Gtx 1050 2GB struggling to run at 720p?

[Zev_7]

I play overwatch, assassins creed, and I'm planning on getting more assassins creed games and Destiny. But on the highest settings available for assassins creed 4 I've noticed tearing and lag occasionally. I'm running at 1368 x 786 i believe at 60hz over HDMI. 

8GB ddr3 1600mhz RAM

Intel core i5 4670

Corsair 650M

I plan on moving to 1080p and 4k gaming resolutions, but if this card is already struggling at 720p I don't expect it to perform well.

4k on a 1050 2gb isnt going to end well... especially in aaa games..

I've tried 1080p but it struggles is there something wrong with it or do I need a better card?

A gt 1050 is really only good for basic 1080p at low settings, even then its kinda under qualified. If you want 1080p 60fps max settings, you'd be looking for a card along the lines of a gtx 970 with regards to performance.

 

You can use www.videocardbenchmark.net to look for graphics cards that would fit your needs. For reference, the gt 1050 has a score of 4510, vs the gtx 970 which has almost double that at 8592.

I know this will be painful and may take quite a while to finish but I'd like you to run Unigine Superposition at 1080P extreme (link below if you don't already have it) from this I will be able to gauge weather your card is just under-performing or you are just pushing the card beyond what it can handle.

I don't have a 1080p monitor to use, just 720p. Would it still be accurate?

You can run it in 1080P anyway.

I'll try to do the testing later since I'm working for another graphics card.

It's a 1050.

I'd like to see the results from the 1050 running in 4K
