Which GTX 1050 Ti to buy? 25 different cards compared. 

Yeah, it's pretty good, depending on the price!

It's a good cooler! What are your other options?

If it's cheaper than the rest, then I say it's pretty good!

Really great deal, congrats!

RU-vid Account. I managed to get it last december from ebuyers.com thay had a few going for a steal then. I left a review also so is a verified purchase.

RU-vid Account. I run mine in oc mode which can be set using the msi software plus you can also use msi afterburner to over clock it to. Just to let you know I ordered mine 21 Dec and was £87.99 plus £6.66 for 2 day delivery ( but came the next day ).

+EAOSpeed Peace yeah, prices change regularly, this video is a few months old now. And 1050 Tis do boost by themselves, usually to around 1911 mhz, that's why i mostly recommend just getting the cheapest one you can find.

There's no reason to buy a 1050 Ti with a 6-pin as it doesn't even consume that much power. You may get ~100 Mhz more on the core, but you won't even notice it in games.

+Clyne Jenn that CPU is kinda overkill for a budget build imo, especially if it's locked. If you want a build for 144 fps gaming, then get a 7700K, but it will be very expensive with the Z-mobo and CPU cooler etc. A 7600K is also an option, but you still need the Z-mobo and cooler. For budget gaming a G4560 does its job just fine, unless you plan to upgrade youu GPU to a 1070 or higher.

+Nik AzizulHelmee 470 is too expensive, unfortunately. For that money you can get a GTX 1060, which eill be miles faster than both!

That's true, but I concentrate mostly on gaming. AMD has OpenCL and soon ROCm and stuff like that, but of course CUDA is more prevalent.

Hey, I'd get the EVGA one! The coolers may be similar, but EVGA has much better customer support.

Any card will fit perfectly with the G4560. If you have a budget that big and you want to spend it all, then get the one that looks best in your eyes, since there's close to no difference between them :) Make sure your power supply has a 6-pin if you get a card with a 6-pin plug.

+ZYOS117 that's definitely an important factor! 3 months is laughably small, I'd say 2 years should be the minimum though.

Hey, no, there may be versions of certain cards that I couldn't find or cover. If the cards performs as it should, then there's no problem with it not having a 6-pin connector.

+antonio garcia in terms of cooling the best one is the Gaming X! Others fall slightly behind, but you won't feel the difference too much. Basically any 1050 ti you get will be totally fine, even the cheapest one, as it is extremely power-efficient.

thanks

+Abdelatef Mohamed sounds good! $150 seems like a good price, if you can find anything cheaper, you can even get that!

Hey, out of those two I'd get the Gigabyte!

Okay Thanks!! :D

+Low Swee Lee hey, I'd get the Galax one!

foreign's gaming tech aight tq very much for the reply

Hey, the 580 is definitely more powerful than the 1050 Ti, and that price is a steal! The cooler could be better though, but if you're okay with the card being at around 40-50% fan speed all the time, then you're totally fine. The 1050 Ti can't even compete with the 580's performance, and for that price, I think it's definitely worth it.

My apologies I didn't saw it earlier the RX580 has only 4GB vram. But still cheaper by $30~$40 compared to 6GB 1060s. It's getting out of topic but, should I still grab it? It sucks tho that even with the latest releases, 1050Ti prices are still high within this country.

Definitely get it - for 1080p gaming it's still tons faster than a 1050 Ti. You can still dabble in 1440p, but with slightly lower settings. The 1060 6G would also be a good alternative, but the 580 is that little bit faster and cheaper. The price are crazy where I live too, unfortunately. In a few months it should hopefully calm down!

Depends on the games you play! 4 GB would definitely be better, but the benefit will be felt only in certain, VRAM-sensitive games.

Most definitely! Inno3D is a less common company in the US, we can find it more easily in Europe.

Hey, the 1050 Tis without the 6-pin should overclock up to around 1911 MHz. Those1550 MHz are probably due to different reasons.

depending on boards power, but the PCIE has a max of 75Wz where the 6-pin has max of 125Wz

+spik330 yes, but other 1050 Tis have been overclocked to 1800+ MHz through the PCIe slot only. It should max out at 1911, not 1550

+LemmE SmasH i'd definitely get the 1050 Ti!

Hey, you won't be able to run everything on ultra, at 1080p, if that's what you were asking. For that you would need a GTX 1060 or RX 580

so I can run very high

A 1050 Ti will run high settings at 1080p on GTA V without any problems! For anything higher (or if you want newer games to run at high settings or better) then I'd recommend an RX 580 or GTX 1060.

+Madhesh reddy hey, yeah, great choice. Congrats!

Thank you ,that's a great video and given my Thumbs up for it ... :)

Thanks, glad I could help!

+Ornal64 hey, that's one of the fastest 1050 Tis on the market, so you won't regret it :)

foreign's gaming tech I know that's why i changed it from Asus Expedition 1050 as 1050 Ti Strix was on sale with same seller . Cost me extra £25 and payed £125.

+Ornal64 make sure to overclock the snot out of that card as that's exactly what it is meant for ;)

foreign's gaming tech Never done this before but I will. Next week will get all of my parts and start my build. Budget project meant for overclocking as build on ryzen 3 1200, Asus Strix gtx 1050ti graphics on MSi B350M Mortar AM3 mATX motherboard and 2x4gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400mhz 1,2v. Target 1080p 60fps causal gaming.

+Mahin Ahmed hey, it'll do its job very well! No need to worry :)

thnx m8

Get the EVGA one!

aight man tq helped and tq for faz reply

It's definitely a good cooler. You won't regret it!

I have never actually even heard about this company!

+Sylphix for a 1050 Ti a single fan woll be totally fine, so you don't have to worry

Alright thank you

+Sylphix you're welcome and good luck!

For 1080p medium settings at a constant 60 - yeah! But high/ultra - not really. Only if for games before 2014.

foreign's gaming tech i can either go for 1050ti 4gb or 1060 3gb, whats good for 1080p high at 60fps

+Hriday Mehta the 1060 os definitely better!

Why not?

It's a great cooler! Can recommend :)

+Cristiano Ronaldo i'd say get the G1, it should be a bit more silent!

foreign's gaming tech thx

Get the Cerberus! It's a slightly better cooler.

+Ellent failenggo both are more-or-less the same! Get what you think looks best!

+Nicer yeah, here they start fron 200€, which is a lot more than MSRP. But do keep in mind that the US prices do not incluse VAT, whereas EU prices do. The US add VAT when paying afaik.

Yeah that would explain why is everything so 'cheap' in US dollars, thank you for the info :)

+Nicer cheers!

Hey, yeah, the D5 is basically the card that didn't pass the internal testing for a higher-clocked version, but can still be overclocked manually just as well as any other.

Good cooler, but fairly expensive!

Just got Zotac OC - it was the best deal altogether.

Александр Дымов zotac dual fan? Hows the noise on it I hear it screams

Yepp, the dual fan one. It doesn't scream in my case (pun intended), mind you I didn't OC'd it cos it comes with a nice boost outta the box already. Very pleased with its performance, temps, and noise levels so far.

looks also have their price

They're pretty cheap and good, so wouldn't disagree there!

+DarekkoZZ it doesn't matter at all! You'll be fine with any cooler :)

foreign's gaming tech thanks, i can't decide with version buy. I wanna something with 6 pin, can you suggest me something? :)

+DarekkoZZ well, msi gaming X or ASUS Strix are both very good, so either of those will be a great choice!

Great card!

+Lauge villund hey, the gaming X is a great card, but may be overpriced, depending on what else is available. If you're building the computer now, then the 1050 ti is a good choice, but in a few months the rx 570 may be available for around the same price again, and it's 30% faster than the 1050 ti. But if you want a 1050 ti, i'd recommend a cheaper model, maybe the msi armor or evga sc!

ok ty for your help. keep it op

+Lauge villund thanks, and good luck with the build!

hey man i watch the video again and i lookt at the ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Expedition but i don't now if it the money wought to get it with 4 GB.

+Lauge villund hey, no! The 1050 4 gb shouldn'y exist - you will never use that extra memory as the card's not powerful enough. 2GB is perfect for the 1050

Mao ikki 1060

i went for the 1050 ti zotac oc ... the 1060 went to 230euro and i said fuck this .. in italy the iva is so damn huge

The 1060 would have been up to 30% faster. The 1050 Ti is still decent though, for medium-high 1080p gaming it's more than enough!

yea 30% with 1vram less is not worth 50euro more .... the price of cards today is too damn high today

+Mao ikki VRAM doesn't necessarily mean slower card.. for 1080p60 it is definitely faster, but yeah, expensive as hell

If you're looking at the GTX 1050 Ti's right now, then get the cheapest one! Nvidia is releasing a new generation of cards soon, in a couple of months, but nothing cheap - all will be high-end cards. So if you need a card *now*, get the cheapest you can find.

no i dont really need it right know! i was thinking about buying and 1060 3gb, but everyone is saying that that 3gb are not enough. i dont play much games, i only do csgo, fortnite, maybe PUBG in the future, and i would like ot buy something that is worth it

my "future" PC will be MOTHERBOARD ATX MSI B350 GAMING PLUS RAM G.SKILL AEGIS 8GB (1X8GB) DDR4-2666MHZ CL19 PRETA FONTE DE ALIMENTAÇÃO CORSAIR VS650W 3.5" TOSHIBA P300 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA III AMD RYZEN 5 1600 HEXA-CORE 3.2GHZ C/ TURBO 3.6GHZ 16MB SKTAM4 MSI GEFORCE GTX 1050 TI GAMING X 4G SSD 2.5" KINGSTON A400 120GB ------------------------------------------------------------ this is 630€,( i already have a case, monitor, keyboard and mouse) this was supposed to be a budget PC... what would u change?, to get a better performance and maybe more cheaper? thanks alot for the reply btw. *english aint my main language*

The 1060 3 GB is definitely a better choice than the 1050 Ti. If you can afford that, get it! In terms of your build, if you can, try putting together a Ryzen 5 2600 build - it will be slightly better. B450 boards should come out in a few weeks. Also, *defintely* get 2x4 GB RAM sticks. Ryzen needs dual-channel to function properly, otherwise you will be heavily bottlenecking your performance!

the motherboard that ill buy has 4x8gb space, i was thinking buying only 8 gb

+Sdn Kebonsari yeah, that's very sad actually. The 470/570 is the best valur gpu out there, and now no one can buy them

:( very sad

Hopefully Ethereum becomes harder to mine soon, as more people enter the mining community. That's when we'll see more used GPUs on the market.

+DesseL , hey, out of those the Gaming X is the best!

foreign's gaming tech Thank you very much :D

+DesseL , glad i could help :)

foreign's gaming tech Hey one more thing , which one is better Asus Strix or MSI Gaming X?

+DesseL hey, both are equal in their performance. Get the one that's cheaper or you think looks better!

+dogi doge if it's cheaper than the others, then definitely!

Thank you so much Sir.

+dogi doge you're welcome and good luck!

+evercors w definitely, you'll see a 30-50% increase in performance :)

btw i love these kind of videos, sorry for my bad manners (just asking without saying anything first) but can you answer me 1 more question. I just got a 1080p 144hz monitor, will this card run at that frequency in a game like overwatch (i don't rreally care if i need to play on medium/low details) oh, and you just got a new sub with this video :D

+evercors w glad this video helped :) yeah, you'll be able to run overwatch on medium-high settings at 120+ fps, so you'll be totally fine. Most 2017 games will run at a mix of med-high settings at 60 fps, hopefully a biy better, so the card's a good choice

ty for taking your time to answer this, with my doubts cleared i'll get that card ASAP , in the meantime i'll take a look at your other videos i'm pretty sure i'll learn something new. Thanks again :)

+evercors w thanks! Glad i could help :)

Hey, yeah, this video is pretty old, and doesn't account for the mining prices! If you're in this price range, try getting the cheapest GTX 1050 Ti!

foreign's gaming tech nah On my country Video card below and 1050 ti doesn't get the effect of mining.....thats the original prices on my country :3 The cheapest 1050 ti is zotac mini...cost about 170$ new...from the start till now...its not changes Xp

Well, if you're looking for a good card in that price range, you may want to look at used cards as well! A GTX 970 could be found for around that sum.

foreign's gaming tech yeah..i agree with you...on my country...the prices is just 30$ more then 1050 ti...but i look for lower tdp..soo..yeah...the best for now is 1050 ti...

foreign's gaming tech yeah..i agree with you...on my country...the prices is just 30$ more then 1050 ti...but i look for lower tdp..soo..yeah...the best for now is 1050 ti...

All motherboards can overclock cards, but the 750 Ti is fairly old and you will not get much from that OC. If the 1050 Tis are expensive, you can try looking at the used market - a 7970, 280X or GTX 780 or GTX 960 will perform similarly to a GTX 1050 Ti. It will depend on your power supply though, and if it can handle a card that requires a lot of power.

Hmm ok, I'm not really an overclocking(most of the 1050ti cards are)guy I just want to be able to play games like BF1 in high settings with consistent frame rates, but I probably would have to spend more then(Just figured out my PSU is 500watts 80+ bronze). Initially was just planning to just put in a new card and extra ram.

Alright, but what's your CPU? Either way, if you have a free 6-pin PCI power connector you can get a GTX 1050 Ti without a problem. In terms of overclocking, it doesn't matter if it's written "OC" on the box or not - thanks to Nvidia's GPU Boost 3.0 tech the card will boost as far as it can automatically. However, the quality of the cooler is very important here - the better the cooler, the higher it will boost. Manual OC will net better results, but the boost will definitely be pretty good as it is.

foreign's gaming tech right now I have an i5-4590 & im using a stock cooler for it.

Yeah, your best bet would be a GTX 1050 Ti. You can try reddit's hardwareswap subreddit, where you can often find cards for cheap. There's always a danger when dealing with online used purchases though, so keep that in mind. In terms of your card there's not much you can do, unfortunately. Lower the settings, maybe try resolution scaling or even 720p, the 750 Ti was meant more for that resolution anyway.

It's alright :)

+Netranjit Borgohain it's a good card if it's cheap!

foreign's gaming tech can you be a bit more specific? like..will it be as good as the Gigabyte and MSI version?

+Netranjit Borgohain yeah, they will all boost to around 1800 mhz out of the box anyway. I'd just get the cheapest 1050 ti you can find or get the one you like more :)

foreign's gaming tech Thank you so much for the information.

+Netranjit Borgohain if you have any other questions - ask away :) and you're welcome!

+Talthan hey, this video was made before the cryptomining craze. I hope that by the end of September things calm down and you xan find 470/570 cards for a decent price right now.

doesnt help me today when id like to you know repair my sons old X51 :)

Yeah, unfortunately no way to do that with AMD cards right now. I did make a video about this whole topic too, and what you can buy as a replacement for now! Basically a 780/780 Ti will consume tons more power, but will cost

It's pretty good if priced right!

You can look at the cheapest models from MSI, Gigabyte or ASUS. Other, cheaper cards will most likely not require a 6-pin connector. You can check this by either reading the description or looking at pictures of the product and searching for the visible 6-pin connector at the top of the card.

Not lying

+master-K that's an awesome OC, congrats!

+Faizan moriani which models specifically?

ASUS strix and gegabyte gaming G1 ..

+Faizan moriani i'd get the strix! Better cooler on that one

ok! Thanks

What's their price differences? I'd say get the cheapest or the one you think looks best out of those - they will all perform within 3-4% of each other. The 6-pin may add some extra headroom for OC performance, but it doesn't *guarantee* anything.

foreign's gaming tech alright thanks for the quick response ill check it right away to see wich is the cheapest!

foreign's gaming tech so the cheapest is the msi one so I think im going with that one

If you can spend a little more, the card will most likely be quieter and cooler, but it will be doing its job just as well as the cheapest MSI card.

+LemmE SmasH i'd recommens either the G1 or Zotac OC out of those three!

+FireF Jebač hey, depending on your power supply you may or may not have support for that 6-pin card. I'd recommend getting a card without a 6-pin connector because they'll perform more-or-less the same anyway

foreign's gaming tech ok thx ps good vid u helped me alot

+FireF Jebač you're welcome, glad i could help!

+Prasanth Rajagopal great choice man, and thanks! Glad I could help :)

Buy the cheaper one! No difference at all between them.

Hey, you can find the link to the excel file in the description!

You mean out of the 1050 Ti's? You know, 2018 isn't over yet.. there may yet be something surprising in the next few months ;)

Yes i meant out of 1050 ti's

I'd say the cheapest one you can find :) The difference between them will be minimal in reality.

Great cooler!

i mean galax gtx 1050ti oc

ASUS Strix is great, congrats!

yeah,i was glad as i likes ROG stuff.And also lucky i met this guy who makes pcs with certain specifications (and thanks to deal with sellers of components selling him these cheaper so he can build cheaper) ...

+SuperGamer4512 you already bought it?

Yes

+SuperGamer4512 that's pretty expensive! Hopefully it was a good deal in your country :)

Yeah thx :D

+Tracash Gaming you eill pay extra 20 for a very quiet, cool and sexy card, so you decide :) they may perform within 5-7% of eachother, but the gaming x will be quieter, cooler, boost higher and overclock better. But the mini eill perform very similarly anyway

okay thank you

+Tracash Gaming good luck mate!

+Hanco Games hey, depends on your available options and regional pricing! What are your options?

i need a gtx 1050 ti that doesn't require a 6 pin connector

+Hanco Games then get the cheapest one you can find - those top out at 1911 Mhz either way, and won't go as hot since their TDP is under 75 W. It won't matter what cooler is on there.

+Desi Mickey the best and fastest in theory are the gaming x and asus strix, but you won't see much difference from other 1050 tis since it's a very power-efficient card

So should i buy the asus expedition or gigabyte dual fan one coz strix is not available in my country

Or should I go for a zotac card??

+Desi Mickey the asus expedition seems the best out of these. Cheers!

Thanks I will order it today itself thanks for the help

If the card requires extra cables from the power supply

+fdragonf almeida which one specifically?

+kimpsa i don't! It's just that with the 1050 ti it's not needed as much. Right now with the 570 costing as much as it does it is more of an option, but still - a 1050 ti with and without a 6-pin will perform very similarly.

foreign's gaming tech but what if your mother board has problems with power delivery and your card crashes or something of that nature.

+kimpsa your GPU won't work then anyway because the PCIe power is still primary. The 6pin for the 1050 Ti is pure marketing, just like with the 1050

+RSL hey, they will perform more-or-less the same, so get whatever is cheaper or you think looks better :)

Good choice! They will all OC the same though, the numbers on the box don't really matter.

The RX 470 is better!

foreign's gaming tech But the rx gets really hot and uses more power right?

It should fit! What's your CPU?

@@foreignsgamingtech i7 4790

What do you mean by x51 r2 then? Sounds like you're on the Z97-platform.

I don't care for the price Btw, thank you for responding :)

+Seagullian Dave hey, I'd actually get the Inno3d because it has two fans! Will be quieter and cooler

foreign's gaming tech what if we're talking about performance? And does both of them don't requires 6 power pins?

+Seagullian Dave you won't feel any difference. The clock on the zotac õay be slightly worse, but they will both manually OC the same.

foreign's gaming tech i could get the zotac for 20$ less is it worth it for the inno3d?

+Mike Messiah thankd for the corrections!

Great card, if priced well ;)

+Osama Al-afandi great choice!

foreign's gaming tech thanks you for the tip bro

Most likely. Ask your retailer.

i bought it from india and i live in middleast .It says on their site the warranty is just for north america and india. Not really sure if their is a branch here in UAE

Is there a problem with the card though?

i did ask them on their site about the warranty, turns out u have to fix it where u bought it from. No other way And no, no problems whatsoever with the gpu

If the card's fine now, it will probably be fine later too, until the next time you upgrade. Next time make sure to ask about the warranty right away!

+Shaon14 Arafat hey, it seems decent! If it's cheaper than the otherd, then go for it!

Definitely the 4 GB one!

foreign's gaming Will I get better FPS with the OC version?

+Arpit Marandi your cards will boost higher than what's advertised either way, so you will be getting the same fps either way

Arpit Marandi there are no 2gb of GTX 1050 ti maybe you mean GTX 1050

Same as Galax - pretty good for the money!

Both are equally good :) Get the cheapest!

If you still haven't bought the 7700K, drop it and get the i5-8400. With the money you save You'll be able to get a GTX 1060 3GB at the least.
