When I bought my laptop, they (the store) said that it has a GTX 1050 with 4 gigs of memory. My friend pointed out that only a GTX 1050 Ti has 4 gigs of memory. Furthermore, when I mine Ethereum in Nicehash, I can use the Daggerhashimoto algorithm which isn't supported in the GTX 1050.

Device Manager says I have a GTX 1050, but then how am I having a 4 GB memory one, and how am I mining with Daggerhashimoto?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

This page says that both the 1050 and the 1050 mobile versions have up to 4 GB frame buffers.

But you're correct - per the PCI ID repository you don't have a 1050 Ti. The Ti and non-Ti have different device IDs, and the mobile and non-mobile versions do also - four different device IDs. If it was really a 1050 Ti mobile it would be device 1c8c, not 1c8d.

(Thank you for posting the PnP ID, by the way. That helped a lot!)
