Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Should you even bother with the GTX 1050 when the faster Ti is available? While we were impressed with the performance of the standard 1050 at $110, the 1050 Ti managed to be around 20% faster and although it's almost 30% more expensive, we're only talking about $30 here. For that extra money you get twice the VRAM capacity and that looks as though it could be important going forward, especially if you really care about image quality.

Well I have to say that although I haven't had a chance to check out the multiplayer action yet, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found in the beta experience of Destiny 2. The game looks great, plays well and it's already significantly more...

A great-value card for budget HD gaming builds.

The 1000 series of GTX graphics cards are the latest series of gaming graphics cards from Nvidia. Nvidia is the brand, which is always being associated with gaming and the GTX 1050 Ti is the result of the same, which offers a lot of value for money. If...

Nvidia has wowed us all this last year with the introduction of the GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080 – cards that truly blow open the doors to more affordable mainstream high-res gaming. However, the GTX 1050 Ti feels like a missed opportunity. It fails to innovate, and you'll feel the brunt of that decision.

Nvidia's GTX 1050 Ti really does have a lot going for it. You get impressive 1080p performance on a wide variety of games for a decent price and it offers arguably the simplest PC upgrade you can get. By taking all its power from the PCIe slot it is a...

The EVGA GTX 1050 Ti SC Gaming can effortlessly upgrade a prebuilt PC into a gaming rig capable of outplaying modern consoles. It's cool, power-efficient, and notably more powerful than its rivals.

MSI continues to expand its GTX 10 series dominance with the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X 4G, a graphics card that is capable of 1080p 60FPS in Battlefield 1 and over 140FPS in Overwatch. It's incredible performance for a mid-range card that also provides a near-silent gaming experience.

MSI's pricing for the GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X is set to be around $165, which is $25 more than the "starting at $140" price provided by NVIDIA. In my opinion this increase is way too big and brings the card in a territory where RX 470 is the better option due to higher performance at the same price point. GTX 1050 Ti has definitely better power/heat/noise over RX 470, but I'd consider it as an option because performance trumps everything in this segment where every dollar counts.

Put it up against the GTX 1080, and the GeForce RTX 2080 crushes its Pascal predecessor. We never expected anything less. Despite its name, though, the RTX 2080 is priced in the same bracket that the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti presently occupies, and that...

Aside from all the games published by so-called triple-A studios every now and then there is a game that, despite having a much smaller budget, still gets a lot done. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one such game. The video cards in our test lab are...
