GeForce GTX 960M  vs 1050 

Both.. You can even use 960m in high settings

honestly I purchased the 1050 one, at the very first released in february 2017, but the price fall too fast because the 1050ti till 1080 came... -_-

check the 1050ti version

AWESOME THANKS!

If you are going for productivity, get a 960m, as its only about 25% slower, yet the price difference for a same spec'd system can be around $300, if not more. You can get a full spec (i7 7700HQ, 4k touch screen, 16gb ram, 960m) ($950) 960m system for the same price as a mil spec 1050 system (i5 7300HQ, 1080p, 8gb ram, 1050) ($950). Also last xmas microsoft had a deal for the max-spec 960 system (dell inspiron) for $650. It was the best deal ever on that site, and if it comes around again i recommend you get it.

if you are a gamer you should choose the gtx 1050 but if you aren't so interested by games keep in mind that gtx 960m has a good performance and great for the money also can run many of todays games with low -medium fps sometimes higher fps the game make the difference but in general its ok

if you are a gamer you should choose the gtx 1060 but if you aren't so interested by games keep in mind that gtx 960m has a good performance and great for the money also can run many of todays games with low -medium fps sometimes higher fps the game make the difference but in general its ok

in my opinion if you are so interested by games you have to choose the gtx 1060 but but if you are not keep in mind that gtx 960 m is good for the money and the performance its weaker than 1060 but but it still acceptable and can run all games of today with medium and low fps sometimes highter fps the game make the difference and with good resolution also

Keep in mind he 960M is MUCH weaker than the desktop 960.

So which gpu is better for gaming 960 or 1050? which can i use for playing games in 1080p high settings?

oh you're indonesian. there's this amazing seller called Pemmz , you can check in tokopedia for MSI GL62M 7RD. The spec are: - i7-7700HQ - 8GB DDR4-2133 - 1TB SATA HDD (+ 1 M.2 NVMe slot PCI Gen.3) - Nvidia GTX1050 2GB GDDR5 - 15,6" FHD for the price of Rp 12.999.000. I think it's a steal since MSI GL62 6QF - 1481ID with i7-6700HQ and 960M is sold for the same price! Cheaper alternative is ASUS X550IU with FX processor and AMD RX460 with the price tag: Rp 9.999.000

Wait, maybe if I sell my old laptop, I could got that one... But I don't think it would sell well...

well, you may be right, I should get patience for it, thanks... for now I stuck with GT635M, well just deal with it...

150-200? More? Well then i really hope you save up a bit more. Seriously, go to youtube and compare the perfamnce of 960M (this is weaker than the desktop 960) to the 1060. If you literally have 0 patience, 1050 is the best choice. 960M is showing its age.

hmmm, I'm in Indonesia, and I think that for 1060 laptop's price is about $150 - $200 more expensive, but I know yes that 1060 is extremely better, but my budget is around for 960 or 1050

I would say so. But can you spare some extra money for a GTX 1060 laptop? It is just insanely more powerful than both of these cards. Of course, it's also a bit more expensive. Sometimes twice as expensive.

then, do you think 1050 is better? I kinda stuck for purchasing a gaming laptop

Man, I remember when 960M was almost guaranteed to be in every mid range gaming laptop. That time is over. 1050 is a very promising "low" end laptop graphics card for gamers. Nvidia did a great step up with removing the "M" in the name and sticking the full desktop cards in there. GG.
