GeForce GTX 770 vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Mobile): Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 770

2013

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 14.9 vs 0 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Mobile) across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2013 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 360% higher power demand at 230W vs 50W.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Mobile)

2020

Why buy it

  • 19.5% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • GeForce GTX 770 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Mobile) is the less risky modern option long term.
  • Draws 50W instead of 230W, a 180W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 14.9 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Mobile) is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 19.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GTX 770 instead at 5,961 vs 5,918, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Mobile) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 12nm process instead of 28nm and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2013. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GTX 770 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, GeForce GTX 770 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Mobile) has the stronger long-term case.
