Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti latest drivers for Windows 11, Windows 10, and Linux

User question

What are the latest Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti drivers?

Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

As of June 3, 2026, the latest official Windows driver I could verify for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is GeForce Security Update Driver 582.53 WHQL, released on May 19, 2026, for Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11. NVIDIA’s listing explicitly includes the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in the supported GeForce 10 Series products. (nvidia.com)

If you were specifically expecting a Game Ready Driver, note that NVIDIA now places Pascal-based GeForce cards such as the GTX 1050 Ti on the security-update branch, stating that Maxwell, Volta, and Pascal GeForce GPUs are no longer supported by Game Ready Drivers. In NVIDIA’s filtered driver history for this card, the most recent Game Ready entry shown is 581.80 WHQL, dated November 4, 2025. (nvidia.com)

If you are using Linux 64-bit, the latest official NVIDIA driver I found that still lists support for the GTX 1050 Ti is 580.142, released on March 10, 2026. (nvidia.com)

Detailed problem analysis

The GTX 1050 Ti is a Pascal-generation GPU, so it no longer tracks the newest feature-bearing GeForce branches in the same way as current RTX products. NVIDIA’s current Windows package for this GPU is a security-update driver, not the newest mainstream Game Ready branch used by newer cards. That distinction matters technically: a security-update branch is intended to maintain baseline compatibility and patch security-relevant issues, but it should not be assumed to bring the same ongoing game optimizations or new feature enablement as current Game Ready releases for newer architectures. (nvidia.com)

For a desktop GTX 1050 Ti on Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11, the actionable answer is therefore straightforward: install 582.53 WHQL if you want the latest official NVIDIA package currently applicable to the card. (nvidia.com)

For context, NVIDIA’s own search results for this GPU show the recent sequence as:

  • 582.53 — GeForce Security Update Driver — May 19, 2026 (nvidia.com)
  • 582.28 — GeForce Security Update Driver — January 28, 2026 (nvidia.com)
  • 581.80 — GeForce Game Ready Driver — November 4, 2025 (nvidia.com)

That sequence strongly indicates the support transition point for this GPU: the GTX 1050 Ti had Game Ready support through late 2025, and the currently maintained path is now the security-update branch. (nvidia.com)

Current information and trends

NVIDIA currently recommends keeping GeForce drivers updated through the NVIDIA App, and its official driver pages remain the authoritative source for product-specific packages. NVIDIA also provides an Advanced Driver Search page where you can manually select GeForce → GeForce 10 Series → GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and your operating system. (nvidia.com)

For notebook variants, NVIDIA notes that while GeForce drivers may be installable, the laptop OEM may provide the preferred certified package for that specific system design. That is relevant for many GTX 1050 Ti laptops because display muxing, Optimus behavior, and vendor-specific firmware/platform validation can affect stability. (nvidia.com)

Supporting explanations and details

From an engineering standpoint, the important distinction is:

Use case Latest verified driver for GTX 1050 Ti Notes
Windows 10 64-bit / Windows 11 582.53 WHQL Current official driver branch for this GPU is Security Update Driver. (nvidia.com)
Last Game Ready release seen for this GPU 581.80 WHQL Useful only if you specifically want the last feature/Game Ready-era package reference. (nvidia.com)
Linux 64-bit 580.142 Official Linux driver page still lists GTX 1050 Ti support. (nvidia.com)

Practical guidelines

  • If your card is a desktop GTX 1050 Ti on Windows, install 582.53 WHQL. (nvidia.com)
  • If your system is a GTX 1050 Ti laptop, first check the notebook manufacturer’s driver page; NVIDIA explicitly recommends OEM-certified notebook packages when available. (nvidia.com)
  • If you want the official NVIDIA method, use either the NVIDIA App or the Advanced Driver Search page. (nvidia.com)
  • If you are on Linux, use 580.142 unless your distribution packages a tested NVIDIA build through its own repository workflow. NVIDIA’s Linux driver page also notes that many distributions provide their own packaged versions. (nvidia.com)

Possible disclaimers or additional notes

If by “latest” you meant the latest Game Ready driver specifically, the answer is different from the latest currently applicable driver. The latest currently applicable Windows driver for the GTX 1050 Ti is 582.53 security update, while the latest Game Ready entry I verified for this GPU is 581.80. (nvidia.com)

Brief summary

  • Latest Windows driver for GTX 1050 Ti: 582.53 WHQL, released May 19, 2026. (nvidia.com)
  • The GTX 1050 Ti is now on NVIDIA’s security-update branch, not the current Game Ready branch. (nvidia.com)
  • Last Game Ready driver shown for this GPU: 581.80, released November 4, 2025. (nvidia.com)
  • Latest Linux driver I verified for GTX 1050 Ti: 580.142, released March 10, 2026. (nvidia.com)

If you want, I can also narrow this down to your exact platform, for example:

  • Windows 11 desktop
  • Windows 10 laptop
  • Linux
  • best driver for gaming vs stability
