Hello,

I am building a non gaming PC that will be using 4k display (maybe 2),but will be used just for 2D work, movie watching and otherwise a lot of multitasking and Virtual Machines etc. It will never see a video game though.

Is there any benefit to not go for the cheapest gtx 1050, but maybe gtx 1050ti or gtx 1060? Or is the only difference among them the 3D rendering capabilities and will be same for desktop work?
