The GTX 1050 Ti in 2024

[@gabecapps]

I daily drive this card! I don’t play the newest AAA games, but I do video production, and it handles it pretty well!

[@UltraBudgetPC]

Glad to hear that it serves you well. If the price of the card was a little lower on the used market, it would still be a great super budget option but it gets outclassed by so many cards at the same price point where it is. That being said, I will probably hold onto mine since I love the old gaming X design and will want to test the card out in the future with some more newer games.

[@gabecapps]

@@UltraBudgetPC If I had the chance to rebuild my $200 budget gaming/work pc, I probably wouldn’t use the 1050 ti, the only reason I did is because I don’t have external power on my PSU. But it pairs well with my i7-6700!

[@detecta]

honestly these older gpus are still fine for most things people just get too caught up with aaa crap

[@v2-archive940]

​@@UltraBudgetPCIn Poland, the price of this card oscillates from 100 PLN upwards The current exchange rate of the dollar to the zloty is about 3.96, so buying this card is so cheap that it is free, even though it is no longer one of the fresh ones (7 years since its release)

Video production is mostly on CPU so no suprises

I happen to get a GTX 1050 ti for free from a friend, paired it with an old HP G1 Tower - i7 4770 2x8GB RAM & SSD, and gifted it to my partner as a way in for PC gaming. She's been having a blast so far with Sims 4 & FallGuys. It's still a capable card, and runs everything excluding latest AAA titles, which is expected from an 8 year old card that launched at $139.

[@1whospeaks]

OMG me too! I mean my friend upgraded to a 3080ti so I can't say I wasn't jealous... but I pretty quickly realized the games I played do not need anything stronger than a 1050 with leukemia 😭

I had 1050 ti 3 weeks ago before I upgraded. It can definitely run a lot of modern games even the open worlds which is really incredible considering the age of this. It was definitely ahead of its time.

[@Toki-os8kx]

Love the up to date review. Used to keep one on hand in case my main GPU failed. It saved me multiple times when I made the mistake of buying the 5700 XT. I'm pretty sure I spent more time using the 1050ti given how often I was RMAing the 5700 XT. It wasn't that bad at the time. VR was playable, and it got the job done in every game at lower settings. Its bigger brother, the 3050, is my backup card now

This card is running in my rig (Not the MSI one, mine is the EVGA model) and I mostly use it for the streaming NVENC encoder and World of Warcraft since most of my full blown gaming is on console. Will be upgrading PC wise in 2025 but since I was given mine from a bud for pretty much nothing as he's a fellow streamer and wanted to help me out, having this 1050ti has been great 😊

[@wavefile1674]

I have a 1050 TI laptop, and I've been using it more than my desktop 1660 TI and 3060. Gaming performance isn't bad at all especially for non AAA games, considering that the laptop uses around 80-100 watts while gaming.

I only just upgraded from a i7-7700 and a 1060 (3gb) last week, not fully out of commission, it's still going to be my backup rig, and maybe a mass storage device if I can figure out how to do that (it's a laptop). Pretty comparable to a 1050ti, still ran most games pretty well all things considered! Photo/video editing/processing on the other hand, it just couldn't keep up with me.

This card is starting to become a 720-900p card, I have a laptop that has an RX 560X and some modern games are just impossible to run at 1080p at 30fps you have to adjust your expectations on what this card can do, great video.

Still use mine ever since I got it brand new. it's a Zotac OC edition, and it's quite an impressive overclock despite not needing a 6pin connector, boosting up to 1822MHz.

[@mRibbons]

Such a great generation for GPUs in general. From low to high end, we had enticing options at fair prices once the first mining boom died down.

[@Hughesburner]

I just paid $5 for one at a thrift store, EVGA 4gb SC, dusty but works well. You can't beat it for the power/performance especially for older games or the casual gamer. The fact that my model doesn't require a 6pin is a HUGE deal, that many people dont understand until they just to upgrade and don't have a solid PS or are trying to upgrade a office machine.

[@DeadlestSpartanGroup]

This is my card and it allows me to play almost everything I want like Elden Ring, Dead by Daylight, Monster Hunter World, and Wuthering Waves. It can play Helldivers 2 but only at like 20fps while looking not that great from what people talk about it, but hey I can still successfully play it. The part it is failing more in is VR. It can play most of the ones I want to play like DMVR and Pavlov, but games like Pavlov and Devour will have screen waves which can make it impossible to play. VR and games getting harder to run as time goes is why I want to finally upgrade after all these years whenever life allows it.

[@OcihEvE]

I had a 1050ti back in 2018 and it ran AC Odyssey just fine. I played MMO's mostly and it ran them fine as well. I went from a GT610 to a GT730 to a 1050Ti and that is really the benchmark. It's good, compared to what? It's not even on the radar comparing it to what I own now but compared to what I had before it, it was a good card.

the 1050ti is my second-ever graphics card (first being the HD4770). got lucky with the silicon lottery, mine runs up to 1800mhz in most games. zotac cheaped out on the fan, so when mine gave out, i slapped a whisper-silent noctua on it

[@purplle_purpurina]

As poor person running my GTX 1050 2gb for almost a decade, this video hurt a bit in the reality check short a way, and boy I tell you something those 2 extra GB of VRAM make a difference that make some game going from playable with low setting to just an unplayable stutter fest.

[@supermarketyeast4229]

Used to have one of these as my second ever gpu, it was a beast to put into a cheap prebuilt pc cuz it didnt need any extra power connectors. It absolutely destroyed my old gt 745

[@ekiM2K]

I bought a 1050ti back in 2017, my mom still has it. Now that I'm getting back into PC gaming I'm going to grab a Ryzen 5 7500f and get my old card back. It should make a decent stopgap until I have more cash to get something new.

[@cmdr_stretchedguy]

I have a 4GB 1050, it is in an older 7th gen intel PC that is used for watching random stuff through a non-smart TV. I used it a few years ago short term with a Core i5-3350P and 16GB RAM, it was ok with games at low but I quickly scaled up to a better system and $200 RX7600.

[@SanoKei]

With the 1050ti having a TDP of 75W, it is easily able to be put into OEM systems that do not provide a 6 or 8 pin connector. This means that you could grab an off the shelf office PC from a company that is upgrading, shove the GPU in there and it will run soley off the PCIe slot's power. I think that is super apealing. Intel tried to make a card that was meant for this usecase with the Arc A380, but NVDIA drivers are just still superior even on an older generation card. Though with the improvement of ReBar, the Arc solution is really tempting, even at a higher price point.

[@natejennings5884]

I own this exact MSI 4GB model of the Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti. It runs games from the XB1 era and earlier nice and smooth. Though the GTX 1060 6GB is my go-to for Pascal Nvidia cards.

I haven't tried overclocking but that is a great idea for another video. I'll probably wanna hold onto this card since it is pretty tough to get a 1050 Ti for a reasonable price these days and I love the old MSI gaming X design.

If cards like the GTX 1060 or RX 580 are at similar prices where you're able to get them, i'd go with with one of those options over the 1050 ti. Even a GTX 970 will outperform the 1050 Ti and at least in my area and on eBay, will cost less.

[@TheVanillatech]

You said it ... ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR cards ever sold in recent years. Let me tell you a story.. My friend owned a computer store for years, and I hung out there all the time, talking PC's and gaming and random banter. During the Polaris / Pascal era, he sold the RX570 8GB for £200, the RX580 8GB for £230 and the GTX1050Ti for £200, the GTX 1060 6GB for £240. Now EVERY DAY people came in for a GPU. Kids with their parents, young adults etc. And around 80% of the time, they specifically asked for a GEFORCE (or an Nvidia). My friend who owned the shop was a total Nvidia fanboy since forever also. We constantly argued about it! Regardless, we'd always ask the customer their budget. And if it was £200 ... we would tell them "GET THE AMD RX570! ITS WAAAY faster than the 1050Ti from Nvidia but it costs the same!". We were always met with blank stares, hostility, etc. "No I like Nvidia! I'll take the 1050Ti!". We would BENCHMARK, in front of their eyes behind the counter, the RX570 and the 1050Ti in the latest games, and in Fortnite, and we'd even ask them what games they played and test THOSE! And we showed them, everyone one, how the AMD card was some 30-70% faster (depending on the game) AND had more features (true Vulkan and DX12 support), AND STILL we sold about 70% more 1050Ti's than RX570's! Yep, 70% of people EVEN AFTER SEEING with THEIR OWN EYES how bad the 1050Ti was, picked to spend £200 on a 30-40fps card, rather than £200 on a 60fps card! My friend bought the RX570's for £182 from his trade supplier. BUT he had to spend £187 on each 1050Ti! So yes, he made an extra £5 profit by selling the FASTER, BETTER VALUE AMD card. Which is why he pushed it. BUT ALSO he's a nice guy, we both are, and we want these kids and gamers to GET GOOD PERFORMANCE, so they can enjoy their games with a REAL gaming card (RX570) instead of a falsely advertisted MEDIA CENTRE card (1050Ti). After months and months of this happening, we eventually gave up. And to this day, it still baffles me, how STUPID PC gamers are in general. They (we) used to be the SMART KIDS, and looked down on idiots who bought consoles. NOW, WE are the idiots. 1050Ti outsold 570 by HUGE margins. 1060 outsold 580 by similar margins. And get this .... 4060Ti 16GB has outsold the 7800XT by some 360%!!!! The Radeon is some 40% faster on average than the Geforce. Yet the AMD card is just 5-10% more expensive. You can't fix stupid. 1050 series is probably the WORST gaming card since ... I dunno ... the Geforce FX5200? The Geforce 4 420MX? You have to go back DECADES. "One of the most popular cards!". You can't make this up.

[@SanoKei]

I agree that the 570 is better. The 470 is basically the same card and is better than the 1050-ti at a lower price point. It's honestly very silly. However, both require double the power which is a drag.

[@TheVanillatech]

@@SanoKei Doesnt matter if you agree or not, opinions don't count. All that matters is framerate and price (and these days features to a much smaller extent). The 470 and 570 both cost the same as the 1050Ti, but were 50% faster OR MORE. Both Polaris cards supported Vulcan and DX12 in hardware, whereas the 1050Ti (and all Maxwell / Pascal cards) did not. Hence why the RX580 gets over DOUBLE the framerate of the 1060 in titles such as Dead Space Remastered. And to say that the RX570 requires DOUBLE the power of the 1050Ti is complete and utter nonsense! Isn't it? I mean, if you wanna pick just HALF the performance, literally have to play games in 720p or at 30fps in 1080p, over playing with an ACTUAL gaming card that peforms two tiers higher, to save £10 a year on your electric bill, then I say you belong in an asylum! :D Even if you gamed 5 hours a day, every single day of the year, and for every second your GPU was at MAX USAGE, it would still only cost £10 more a year to run the AMD card over the Nvidia card. Stupid argument! You ain't running a bitcoin mining farm in the basement, you're running a SINGLE gaming PC in your bedroom, for an hour or two a night! AND you're playing with 20-30fps in 1080p, cos you picked a 1050Ti instead of an RX570! :D

I can't say for certain, by I would assume in most cases, games will be GPU bound with the i5-8500 and 1050ti. There's probably a few CPU intensive games out there that would make it close but I'd say it'll be more than enough for the 1050 Ti

If you needed some extra processing power and don't want to invest in an entirely new platform, the Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600x would be a fairly substantial upgrade for a decent price. Otherwise, if you wanted to upgrade your platform, sticking with AMD and going with AM5 is my preferred route since it will be supported for a long time just like AM4 was. Truthfully, I think the R5 3600 is still a really solid CPU and will pair well with most mid ranged GPUs but if you're looking for an upgrade, the 5600 is what I'd go with.

[@Zushikikato]

@@UltraBudgetPC hey, I reallly appreciate the video and this reply. Thanks much but I'm talking about the GPU. Can't afford to upgrade them both yet but since we both agree that I already have an acceptable ProC, maybe it's time to upgrade the GPU.

I think I misunderstood your initial question haha. I was thinking you were interested in upgrading the CPU for whatever reason. If you're looking to upgrade from the 1050 Ti, I'd say going for something like a 5700 XT for around $150 used, or the 2070/2070 super for $180ish. These are used prices I've been seeing in the US and those are my picks for best value. For New cards, if go AMD all the way with the 6600, 6600XT and 6650 XT depending on what you can get for the best value. If you really want Nvidia, there isn't a ton of great value. The new 6gb 3050 would be a substantial upgrade over the 1050 to but it's still a little limited and costs about the same as a used 2070. If you just want something better than the 1050 Ti for as little cost as possible and don't care as much about the longevity of the card you're getting, any GTX 1660 series card, or the 1070/1070 Ti would cost around $80-$110.

@@UltraBudgetPC would definitely consider the options you gave. 5700XT or 2070 (Super)? Thank you so much!!

R9 390 8gb was a better pickup I made back in the day used for less than a 1050ti. Other than having to rely on nimez drivers, that card would serve far better today. Edit: I also find it hilarious that fsr is essentially keeping this card alive for some games, amd actually may have hurt their own bottom line doing it, but mad respect for it.

[@KadiusFTW]

Also, I do not recommend picking up a 390 these days due to flaky support as nimez drivers are great, but have a few cracks some games fall into making them not supported. Performance wise, its above a 1060 6gb in some titles, and at 1060 3gb performance in others

Once AMD makes a .DLL like perif like nvidia for hot swapping online gaming is still in jeopardy , I would change the dlss dlls and showed on average 90% better gaming experiences with a form of anti cheat counter measures in the hardware software like the hacker software but in reverse

[@bumbo11111]

If you can get your hands on an rx6400 that could be a cool vid

[@SmokesTooSmokey6]

nothing about the 1050 ti but i still run a 1070 does me perfectly fine in todays games

[@zushikatetomotoshift1575]

I can only recommend GTX cards in 2024 for dirt cheap. Cause from what I heard Nvidia is planning to axe GTX lineup and only focus on RTX. Just be aware of this. Good luck and happy gaming.

[@ilovemonkeyos]

Beginning to? Now? It was beginning to show its age/limitations back in 2020. Lol. Still a gigachad of a card, though; most of the GTX 10-series line cards are, tbh.
