NVIDIA GTX 1050 Roundup Featuring EVGA MSI and Zotac

Time Spy is a new DirectX 12 showcase benchmark designed for high-performance gaming PCs.  The benchmark shows a muesum of past Futuremark benchmark scenes and gives you a chance to choose different DX12 rendering methods.

Fire Strike is a DirectX 11 showcase benchmark designed for high-performance gaming PCs.  The benchmark features real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and really pushes the limits of what DirectX 11 can do.

There are six tests in 3DMark 11. The four graphics tests use advanced rendering techniques to compile the scene including tessellation, volumetric lighting, depth of field and post processing effects. The physics test uses rigid body simulation to stress the CPU while the combined test features CPU and GPU workloads. The CPU handles rigid-body physics while the GPU is tasked with volumetric lighting, tessellation, post processing as well as simulating soft-body physics using DirectCompute.

Anyone else find it strange that the card with the fastest core clock is the slowest in the 3DMark tests? 

I also included a GTX 670 card for reference so people will know what the GTX 1050 compares to.  Of course the GTX 670 will be really slow in DX12 titles but from a raw power standpoint that is a good comparison.
