The reason there are so many is because different companies sell the card. That's obvious, but what you might not realize is that each company also sells more than one version of the same card. So you might have 5 companies selling a 1050, each company seliing 3 versions means there are 15 1050s to choose from!

The versions each company sell usually are the budget model, which is the least expensive in their line. This is for people who want a 1050 but don't want to spend one dollar more than absolutely necessary. This means components on the card, like the heatsink and fan, will be inexpensive and therefore noisier and less efficient. They usually also sell a midrange version.

This costs more, but you get better components on it. They also will sell their top of the line version. This is even more expensive and usually is overclocked and has upgraded components.

I usually go for the middle range. I avoid the cheapest of anything, but I also avoid the most expensive of anything. To give an example, if a card sells for $110 at the low end, and $150 at the high end, I'd buy the one at $120. I'd pay the $10 for a quieter fan and a cooler running card.
