970M vs 1050 - Laptop Graphics Comparison Benchmarks
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 06. 2024
- In this video we’ll compare the performance difference between two laptops running an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 and 970M. The 1050 is newer but from the lower end of the 10 series lineup, is the older 970M still worth considering in a laptop? We’ll perform some gaming benchmarks and see how well each graphics card does in a series of tests to help you choose between the 1050 and 970M for your next laptop, or help you decide if upgrading from the 970M to the 1050 is worth it.

Watching older GPUs perform feels nostalgic. Currently I have an Acer Nitro with an RTX3060
You deserve so much more subs. I hope one day you'll make it there.
Oo yeah can ypu review the dell g7 please.
Thanks! We'll get there with support like that 😁 I should hopefully be getting a new Dell G series laptop in a few weeks, waiting for the Australian Dell team to have them available, however I assume the larger channels will be prioritized so.. eventually!.
He will. He just got my sub and bell icon click 😅👍👍👍 nice video
THANK FOR UR TIME MAKING GAMING LAPTOPS BENCHMARKS. LOVING MY GTX 1070 DESKTOP BUT WILL DIFFENTLY BUY A LAPTOP ONCE THEY FINALLY GET THE GPU AND CPU'S COOOOOLER
No problem!
I appreciate the effort, this was helpful
Great channel dude . subbed
Cheers, welcome!
Awesome review! Thanks!
No problem, cheers!
Woo! Thanks jarrod for making this!
No problem!
Pretty underrated channel, just found out
Very helpful vid 🔥🔥🔥
You deserve way more subs than u currently have man i hope u reach there soon, ur vids have such quality content i really liked it
Thanks! It should be possible with support like this 😁
Great comparison video. Also can u do a comparison video workstation GPU if possibel
Thanks! I've only had one laptop so far with Quadro graphics, although it was a while ago and I didn't test that many games, if I'm able to get a more recent model I'll look at doing a comparison in games / professional applications, just depends on what's available for me to get.
Jarrod'sTech yea true take your time man. No sweat
Another Great review Jarrod! I settled on a acer nitro v15 black edition 2017 model, has a 1060 6gb and a i7 7700hq, I added 8gb more ram so it has 16gb now I also put my samsung 850 evo 2.5" inside of it and it already had a 256gb intel m.2. It's the first time i've ever used a fingerprint scanner on a laptop and it's beautiful! THe dolby Audio is a huge upgrade in terms of sound quality from a phone or a old"ish" amp. 1,119 aud alogether including the ram upgrade.
Thanks! Sounds like a great machine 😁
Interesting, thanks. I have the 970m and im looking at an upgrade when the newer models come out, but I just assumed all the 10 series would be better than the 9 series. That just doesnt make sense to buy a 1050 at all when you can get an older one for probably cheaper that performs better.
Yeah the 1050 Ti is pretty close to the 970m, so anything above would be better, but 1050 can't quite seem to keep up!
Hey Jarrod, me again lol, so still debating on GS65 vs Aero 15x. If you had to choose one, which would it be? Maybe do a comparison video between the two?
At this stage I'd go the aero myself, however I got the GS65 a few days ago and I'm working on the review now, I'll definitely be doing a dedicated comparison video with the Aero 15x!
You're the man! Cant wait
can you do a review on dell g7? cuz I heard the screen is worst than last year's model 7757 and will there be 4k panel available for g7? Nice video as always~!!
Thanks! I should hopefully be able to get one some time in the next few weeks, I'm still waiting.
And that’s why I got a used 2015 Razer blade instead of a newer laptop with a 1050. Nice comparison! I saw on userbenchmark first that it was a little better, so I grabbed it, but this really puts it into much better real world scenarios instead of just benchmark stats. :)
Fair enough, thanks!
As always, great review Jarrod.Hope you could do a comparison between i7 7700hk vs i7 8750h vs i9 8950hk, how this high end CPU's perform.
Thanks! I'm working on the 7700HQ/8750H at the moment, I don't yet have any laptops with the i9 yet though, hopefully I'll be able to get one!
I would love to know how these laptops perform when on a laptop cooling stand. I wonder if there is perceptible difference.
I've been planning on buying a bunch of cooling pads and comparing them, and then possibly including the results of using one in the temperature benchmarks in my laptop review videos, just haven't had time to get around to it yet.
Coming from a 1060 laptop owner, the performance would be more consistent since CPU will not thermal throttle often. Despite having a good cooling solution, CPUs can go upto 90C on extreme loads. Having a cooling pad will reduce the temps by around 5C so more consistent performance. But I would recommend undervolting the CPU. There are two kinds of throttling: Power and thermal. While cooling pad will most likely get rid of thermal throtlling, you CPU will still power throttle on demanding games which means your max clock speeds will go down. Even a basic undervolt will fix this issue and reduce your temps by 10C.
This is particularly helpful if you have a shared heat pipe between the CPU and GPU. Since the CPU is running cooler than before, your GPU temps will also be lower. In case of separate heat pipes, I have not seen the GPU overheating. My laptop has separate heat pipes and cooling fans and my GPU never goes above 80-82C in max load.
In future comparisons like this it would be really nice to see average CPU+GPU frequency to rule out throttling etc
In more recent comparisons, I just test with 3 different laptops with each GPU, because throttling these days is a fact of life, so it's good to showcase a range of real data rather than best case.
How did you get so many laptops to compare?
Hello, can you please help me?
I have an Asus Gl553vw with GTX 960M(4gb) and i7 6700HQ. I'm willing to upgrade my graphics. Wich options are the best and is it even possible to replace a graphics card on notebook?
If not desktop versions, then some more powerful M version of gpu.
Thanks in advance. :)
You can't replace GPU on laptops... Only few laptop models can replace graphics cards. Eg- Alienware, HP few models. And those laptop graphics cards care pretty expensive. You can buy a new gaming laptop for that price or you can assemble a pc with high end performance.
thanks man i fucking love you
i was wating for this vid for sooo long 👌👌👌🙌🙌😀😀
No problem! Sorry it took so long
Im likin this chanel, not many do laptop graphics comparisons, could you also include thermal readings of the surface temps ? Cause thats very important with laptops , i actualy went from 970m to 1050 because of the heat
I use my thermal camera to test this in the full review videos, however it's not something I felt would have been too useful here, as both laptops were from different companies and had different cooling solutions I didn't think that it would be fair to compare the heat unless they were otherwise the same model, as the other differences between them will contribute to temp differences as well so I can't be sure how much is due to the GPU differences. If I'm able to get the same model laptops but with different hardware then yeah I'll look at including this too.
Thanks for this review
No problem!
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Thanks for the comparison. I'll hold onto my 970m laptop for another year or so.
No problem! I'm still using mine, does the job 😛
Oh and I subbed. I liked your presentation in the vid.
Cheers! Welcome 😁
Thank You. Jarod. I have been waiting so long to watch 1050 vs 970m
No problem!
Hey Jarrod. Do you think you could try doing a GTX 1060 3GB notebook vs a GTX 1060 6GB MAX Q comparison? I know how each one compared against the 1060 6gb notebook but I do wonder how they will pair up against each other as I'd expect 2 different fights in the low (less vram demaning) settings vs the higher (more vram demanding) settings
Yeah I'd like to, it's just that I haven't been able to get hold of any 1060 3gb laptops as of yet, I've only had 6gb versions up to now to test with, so depends on what I'm able to get in the future.
Thanks so much for considering it. I hope that companies would be able to let you test bench it (asus/msi) in the future
No problem! I hope so too!
Just today reddit decides to show me a gif of how an older driver on the GTX970 is better (performance wise) compared to that of a newer GTX1050, it is something along that line and that got me curious. I don't have a 970 gpu in my msi, mine is 970m, is there a driver that you would recommend aside the latest one for better performance (I personally dont have issues with the latest driver, just wanna know if i there is better)?
The newest available from Nvidia is pretty much as good as you can get.
What's the Asus laptop with the thin bezel?
The black one? Zenbook Pro, I used that to test the 1050, more details in the full review video on the channel.
Why in you other video GTX 1050 ti IS better than GTX 970m ?
I don't understand the question. Yes, 1050 Ti is better, people still want to see how it compares to other options though.
@@JarrodsTech IS there a différence betwen GTX 1050 4gb and GTX 1050 ti 4gb ? Sorry for m'y Bad english
Yes, 1050 Ti is better - I've tested the both here: czcams.com/video/8aFPl3Qt97w/video.html
For gaming, even with the faster processor should I stick with my 970m i7 5700hq or upgrade to 1050 i7 7700hq? Is it even worth it?
Hmmmm hard to say never tested that CPU.. I suspect it would be very close and too close to really make upgrading worthwhile, as technically the 1050 is a downgrade if we factor only the graphics, and they tends to make a bigger difference in most games
Good comparison mate. Just picked up an Alienware 17" with a 970m. I'm pretty pissed though because it was advertised as the 8gb 970m and turned out to be only 3gb. That's a lot of vram difference. It was a private, out of town sale so is going to be a mission to get a refund. Do you know if I'm missing out on a lot being down 5gb as your 3gb 970m seemed to hold up ok. 2 years ago anyway!
Bro gtx 970m never even came in 8 gb varient, it came as max 6 gb and a 3gb varient, always do research before buying anything,maybe you confused the ram with vram
@@-_--le3zk shared memory probably
we need i7 8750h vs i7 7700hq plees !
Very soon 😎 the MSI GS65 with 8750H and 1060 just arrived a few days ago, so I can benchmark it and compare with a 7700HQ / 1060 laptop that I recently tested.
Jarrod'sTech thank you
No problem!
You don't need it you just need to look at this link cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-7560U-vs-Intel-Core-i5-8250U/m262014vsm338266. This link contain the all of cpu and gpu comparison....
Which is better? Asus gl502vt with Gtx 970M + i7 -6700HQ? or Lenovo legion y530 with Gtx 1050 + i5-8300H?
Hmm the 970m is closer to a 1050 Ti, however the 8300H will smash the 6700HQ... Not sure, depends on the game, if you play at higher settings (granted not really something 970M can do in some games) the better GPU would help, otherwise in most cases I'd think the better CPU would be more useful.
I have a question. Which one is better: i7-6700HQ+4GB GTX 970m or i5-8300HQ+4GB GTX 1050?
Better for what? For gaming I'd expect similar performance, maybe a slight edge to the 970m in some games, but that 8300H should dominate the 6700HQ, considering the 8300H is around 10% better than the 7700HQ, which is of course better than the 6700HQ - that's a 2 generation difference there, I'd probably go the 8300H/1050, much more modern.
Please I need help
What's better, the GTX 980 mobile or the GTX 1050 laptop
Well 970m beats the 1050, as shown here, so assuming the 980m is better than a 970m, you've got your answer. The 980m is closer to a 1060 I think.
Should also include gpu temps next time if that's available.
It wasn't, I think I talk about why towards the end of the video - both laptops were completely different brands with different cooking solutions so it wasn't a fair comparison with regards to cooling solutions. I have done this a couple of times in the rare instances where I have the same model for both laptops
Lenovo Legion Y530 (16GB RAM, i7-8750H 2.20GHz, 7200rpm HDD 1TB, Nvidia 1050ti GPU) VS Asus ROG GL502VT (16GB RAM DDR4, i7-6700, GPU GTX 970M, 1TB) ? Which one should I chose?
Y530 beats it in both CPU and GPU, easy choice.
What about Geforce MX150 Vs 1050ti ? what's the main difference and which should i choose ?
1050ti is better, as for how much I can't personally say as I've never had a mx150 to test with just yet
Jarrod'sTech ohhh i see , thnksss
No problem! Hoping I can get the MX150 in the future, I'll compare it with the 1050 if I do 😃
Jarrod'sTech Hello again Jarrod 😊i just want to ask if you think the Mx150 can play Mid range game like dota 2 , csgo, etc? and also , do you think with that graphics card with the 4gb ram with 8th gen can run mid range games smoothly?
U can easily oc the gpu +200/300 mhz safely, the Maxwell Architecture was very tolerant on the silicon. Care with memory oc bc that's the problem with these chips
Yep, same with pascal, overclocks quite well.
finally i got my RTX2070 super , when i see this , i full of confident upgrade from GTX980m are the huge step further.
Asus rog g751jt, Do you think this laptop worth 650$ 16gb ram 17'' gtx 970m i7 4710hq 1tb+250 ssd?
Hard for me to really say as price varies between country, but seems ok given the 970m is around 1050Ti performance, no idea on that CPU though.
is that any recommend of 970m laptop?
To be honest I haven't really reviewed any other laptops with the 970m, when I started the channel the 10 series had just launched so I didn't get much experience of 9 series laptops
I Have 970m currently but i dont even get 60 fps for playing pubg in lowest setting. Would recommend using the 1050
Single channel memory by any chance? Dual channel could help improve frame rate if so.
Wow I’m surprised, I figured the 1050 would be way better then the 970m. My Alienware 17 I bought a long time ago and at the time was top of the line and came with a gtx980m. I still use it everyday to game on and it still handles any of the new games, like borderlands 3 and control at high setting. Granted I don’t play those online fast paced first person shooters where I hear FPS is important. I’m planning on keeping this older Alienware laptop for around 2 more years. it was a great investment for me and when I do get a new laptop I will probable stick with Alienware. Only problem it ever had was those shitty killer wifi cards and I replaced its with intels and never had a problem since.(knock on wood)
Yeah I think that one is close to the 1060 which is still 1080p capable in modern games with good settings so that makes sense.
It runs similiar like 970m for gtx 1050 4gb
Hmm, my 1050 boosts up quite a lot higher and with Afterburner it easily runs undervolted at 1850Mhz. Didn't have as much headroom with my previous 970M so keep that in mind.
Interesting, yeah seems to vary a bit between laptops
970m is an excellent videocard for it's time, but I would never buy a laptop with it nowdays. Not only Volta is about to come out really soon, making even Pascal kind of outdated, the 900 series will almost completely come obsolete after that. But what's more important to me personally is the the extra heat the 970m has over 1050 and 1050 ti. Not to mention that that 1000 series is more efficient by itself, it can also be undervolted, while the 900 series ones can't be. Nvidia only allowed undervolting since 1000 series videocards, just like Intel only allowed it since 4-th gen Intel core series.
Yeah I'd probably wait at this point for the new stuff, unless you can get a really good deal on the 970m or something as it still does alright, if you just play lower end games it would be fine for a while I'd think.
Everywhere I have read has said that Volta is not coming out for a while.
Lol so much for that
name of that laptop? the one with 970m?
It's a Clevo P650RE, the first laptop I ever reviewed on the channel.
Subbed .I don’t like that my 1050 is being beat by an old 970m ,but hey
The 970m is kind of 1050ti tier of power anyway.
Wow, 970m is surprisingly good. I thought the 1050 would be better by a lot! I guess 1060 and higher would be for more intense gaming.
Yeah I think 1060 would be closer to 980m based on what I've seen
Jarrod'sTech Wait so if I have a Surface Studio with a GTX 980M, I could pretty much think of it as GTX 1060?
Yeah basically, they should perform fairly close together, granted the 980m probably uses more power.
So the lowest 10-series GTX is close to the second best 9-series GTX? Mobile 1080p gaming for the masses!
Yeah 10 series was a nice improvement over what we had before!
Thanks you
I think a used elitebook 1050 is still better. For $350 you get a intel 8th gen H class cpu instead of a U class which is massive.
the 1050 is 2GB or 4GB ?
4GB
IMO, when it comes to laptop, 1050 ti for the win. Light chassis, good battery, good temperatures, no throttle and amazing performance at 1080p with some tweaked settings... all a laptop need. Ultra settings is just ego and any gpu stronger than that i'd rather go for a desktop. Pair that with 16gb ddr4 2400mhz dual channel, an i7 7700hq, an ssd m.2 and you'll be set until 2020 easy.
Yeah I'd be looking at that at least, for the games I play though the 1060 is probably needed for good settings at 1080p
Max-Q 1060 is pretty decent, I've got some other comparisons with it here:
1050 Ti vs 1060 Max-Q: czcams.com/video/2afayQ4E-VY/video.html
1060 Max-Q vs 1060: czcams.com/video/gT3_-6Rtfoo/video.html
You should have got some thermals. The 970M that I have seen you can grill a cheese sandwich on when gaming. I don't think the 1050 gains any benefit from 4GB ram over 2GB while the 1050ti does benefit slightly.
They would have been invalid, as both laptops had different form factors/cooling solutions.
Actually I think it would be valid...because the 970m is not going to be made anymore. Just because the 1050 had a different cooling solution wouldn't invalidate that the 970m in any form you bought is going to be MUCH much hotter. You could have just reported the rating on the power supply bricks and let everyone draw their own conclusions.
the amount of vram influences texture quality. The more video ram there is, the higher texture settings one can set. It doesn't have anything to do with other settings.
So you think a 1050 could use 128GB of Vram? And if you don't think it could use that much? What do you think would be the limiting factor?
it could if a game demanded that much by it's textures, possibly. But I'm not exactly sure. 128 gb vram is way way way beyond any game nowdays can require
I think 1050 takes lower power consumption and 970m takes more power consumption, it's based on the laptop I have, Rog gl553vd and msi gs60 6qe , ( Correct me )m
Maybe, didn't measure power draw.
why 970m more powerfull?
It has double the cuda cores, I guess, seems to matter more than a little higher clock speed.
so it is worth to change from 1050ti to 980m 4gb?
I've never had a 980m, but it seems to be closer to 1060, so I probably wouldn't bother with that change.
@@DrayAviation 1050ti is garbage, man... only those who knows nothing about gpu buyts them, 1060 & 1050ti sold at the same price
@@jake9854 were talking about laptops tho the price is veryy différent 200 or 300 dollas
I have the dell 15 7567 with the gtx 1050.. Its not bad.. but im not a hardcore gamer. So its just fine.
Fair enough, if it works well for you then that's all that matters!
@@JarrodsTech i did upgrade the screen.. super easy DIY. Took me 3 minutes.. Has an ips high gamut screen..
Also, I bought the laptop used in new condition for 350.. Screen upgrade was another 50. So 400 invested not a bad deal i think?!?
no 970m is suppose to be garbage!!! it cant possibly beat my mighty 1050!!!
970m is closer to 1050 Ti performance 😁
Is it good then 1050 ti
970M is close to the 1050Ti, I've compared those in this older video czcams.com/video/aRI_KwBfdvk/video.html
i had both and my laptop with the gtx 1050 perofms way better, why?
Not sure.
I have a Lenevo ideapad 510 with 970 with 4 gb
Cool, my 970M was definitely the 3gb option.
Is gtx970 with 4 GB sli
As shown at 1:23 the 970M has 3GB of memory. It is a single card only, no SLI.
What about 1050ti?
What are you after?
I've compared the 1050 with 1050Ti here: czcams.com/video/8aFPl3Qt97w/video.html
and the 970m with the 1050Ti here: czcams.com/video/aRI_KwBfdvk/video.html
Jarrod'sTech nice. Exactly what I needed.
Dell g7 review please 😊😊
Just waiting to get one from Dell in a few weeks!
ASUS model ? plsss
For the 1050? It was wither the ZenBook Pro or VivoBook Pro, I have reviews of both and comparisons between them on the channel.
Ah, so do you sent them back... that is why you dont use liquid metal XD
Yeah I don't keep any of the laptops I have in my videos 😛 otherwise I'd try more interesting things like LM and do a ton of giveaways haha
the 980m still rocks thou
Yeah I imagine it'd be similar to the 1060, as the 970m is close to the 1050Ti, hopefully I can get a laptop with one to do some testing!
ya i tested with a few games, my friend has msi with gtx 1060 and me with alienware gtx 980m, his laptop performed better than mine, but its close.
1050ti na
Can you do 950m vs 970m pls?
I haven't yet had any laptops with a 950m, if I'm able to get my hands on one then I'll definitely do some comparisons.
Alright thanks
Ohh look laptops that are slightly better then the PS4 Pro! :D PS4 PRO performence level=GTX 1050 ,but the GTX 1050 ti should outperform it.
Oh really? I honestly don't know anything about current consoles so I guess if they have 1050 level graphics then that's not too bad.
I guess so. My laptop is on par with a console my Desktop far exceeds it between what do you think of the new launch of Nvidia's GPU'S.
I recently did a video of what I think, at least what I think with regards to laptops 😛 but basically I feel like we're not going to see too much of a performance improvement, the focus is on new technologies which may not be great on launch, we'll just have to see.
.
So 970 is better
Yeah, it's closer to a 1050 Ti, I have a video on that too.
Lets not fuck around boys, buy 1080ti
Haha if only it were available in a laptop
Plz check it
Check what? That my laptop 970M has 3GB? I can assure you that it does, I have it right here.
Gtx 1050 is shit, it's not fit for 1080p, it's 768p gpu
Depends what you're doing with it, it's plenty for low end games.
Jarrod'sTech I am talking about playing games at 1080p in general, 1050Ti is waaaaay better
Yeah it is, but still depends on the game, something like csgo or fortnite would run alright on the 1050 with low settings 😛
Jarrod'sTech low settings on low end games like csgo and rocket league that aren't even demanding ? Exactly bro that's the standard of GTX 1050, it's an abomination
It's enough for some people 😛 I mean I wouldn't buy it, but it's a huge step up compared to something like integrated graphics that many laptops have.
My PUBG runs at 60-70FPS @1080p low settings. Your benchmarks are wrong dude.
Gtx1050 4GB
Let's take a moment to think about this. This video is almost a year old, could it be that PUBG has undergone a lot of changes over that time? Could there be newer Nvidia drivers that boost performance? Is it more likely that you have a laptop with 8th gen CPU which beats this older 7th gen model? Could it be that FPS differs greatly between map and depends on what other players are doing at the time? I tested in the same area on both machines for comparable results, I don't care about showing optimal performance, I care about performing the same test run.
@@JarrodsTech Yeah, you are right. Maybe new drivers boosts performance of the 1050. Btw i am using i7-7700HQ.
I prefer the 1060 6gb in my laptop because it destroys both of these cards 😂
Yeah definitely, the 1060 is in a different league 😛 I suppose not everyone can afford that though.
i prefer the 1080 max q in my laptop, it destroys your cheap laptop
Jeon Jeongguk I also prefer the 1080 max q. :)
Jeon Jeongguk but I wouldn’t really call the razer blade cheap by any means.
Its pretty cheap when you have an asus rog zephyrus gx50VI
Pfff DELL computers are a garbage. Hot and slow.
The 7577 is pretty good value for the price / performance I reckon.
+fer Guzman depends on the Dell model. The Dell G7 or the 7577 are good. Entry level Core i3/Celeron Dell laptops are not very good.
Rotten Banana dell gamers are a garbage. Other dell laptop, no. 7567, 7577 material construction are a garbaje. Plastic, screws, screen, keyboard, assembly etc.
1050 is garbage IMO.
I know so many people who are extremely happy with a 1050 notebook.
Significantly better than built in graphics though, at least it can play some games 😃
Perhaps the 1050Ti might be GOLDEN
Loads of people just play CS GO and NFS 2015. Both run on high settings and very well. I know many people who don't even touch the settings and let Geforce experience handle them.
Yeah depends greatly on the games actually being played too.
