Why do they call the 1060 3GB a 1060 when it's clearly a 1050 ti?

the 1060 3gb is more powerful than a 1050 ti, and also, the same reason why the 1070 ti isn't just a 1080, because Nvidia said so.

Its not though...

 

Look at a benchmark

1060 3GB is also weaker than a 1060 6GB, therefore making it NOT a 1060, it's a 1050 ti.

The current 1050 "ti" is nothing more than a 4GB variant of the same 1050 2GB

Maybe the 1060 3gb is actually a 1050 ti ti

Yeah no, it's just nvidia overselling a 1050 ti so they can charge 1060 prices for a 1050 ti.

That, my good mate, is not how tier lists work, it's 1030, 1050, 1050 ti, 1060 3gb, 1060 6gb, 1070, 1070 ti, 1080, 1080 ti, Titan XP. (at least in Pascal.)

So what you are getting at is you think the 6gb 1060 should be a 1060 ti.

No, I'm saying 1060 3GB should have been 1050 ti, because the 1060 6GB is the full 1060 chip, and the 3GB is the cut-down chip...

so the 1060 3gb=1050ti.... 1050ti=1050 so what is the current 1050 going to be. the 1040?

1050 2GB and 1050 4GB, probably, just like with RX 560, nobody is calling the 4GB variant an RX 560x, because it just doesn't have a chip powerful enough to be called "560x".

I hope you realize that this really doesnt solve anything and would just cause more trouble if it was implemented

How exactly would it cause trouble? It makes way more sense because there is no chip disparity between the 1050 and current 1050 ti, what does cause problems is the way they're tiered currently, calling a 1050 ti a 1060 just so you can charge more for it.

Wrong.

The 1060 3Gb should have been called 1050ti, because it came out before the proper 1050ti came. 

The problem is that there is the 1050, the 1050ti (which is NOT just a 1050 with more VRAM - it has 128 extra CUDA), the "1059" (1060 3Gb) and the 1060.

Just nvidia being nvidia and creating chaos.

It would cause problems for people who already bought a gpu and they would feel that they were lied to about performance based upon the name change

Well they were already lied to so...

Well yes, it's kinda what I've been saying.

It was a joke i think... He meant 1050 "double" TI

 

1050 ti ti

Yeah I kinda realised after posting.

@xFluing

Well, you are criticizing them because they called a different card (cuda difference) the same, but you are doing the same thing by calling the 1050 and 1050ti the same. Its a bit weird.

Well fine then, let's call the weaker 1050 a 1040.

 

Or better yet, let's have the 4GB version only
