HD 7870XT vs GTX 1050Ti: Tahiti LE vs Pascal GP107 - Which is better value? So a few weeks back we took a look at the baby Tahiti card, the HD 7870 XT ... you know the card that should have been called the 7930? Well one of the questions that cropped up when talking to you lot regarded how it compares in late 2017 to the budget darling.. The GTX 1050 ti. I think it's fair to say that when it comes to the 1050ti I gave it a pretty hard time, especially at the start of the year where the high prices just felt at odds with both the cut down pascal architecture and compared with the used prices of higher end last gen cards like the GTX 970 and R9 280X. Sure it performed, but there was always the feeling nvidia priced the card higher than needs be. But then the crypto currency boom happened, AMD card prices skyrocketed and the 1050 ti in a complete twist of events became the poster child for value performance. SO it's time to blow off the cobwebs from my own 1050 ti and see if the baby tahiti LE gpu nestling in the 2GB 7870 XT put up a fight
