GTX 1050 ti questions

ShanGaming · Feb 24, 2017

Hey, I was wondering if the 1050 ti is a good graphics card and debating if I should go with two fans or one fan.
I'm currently looking at this one:

the 1050 Ti is a good budget card, the rx 470 is a bit better but it takes a lot more power, i believe its 225watts for the rx 470 and 75watts for the 1050ti. I like the 2 fan version better cooling also looks a lot better.

Overall though I'd say a rx 470 is a better choice because it performs better for around the same price.

(Mistake its 120tdp for the RX 470)

Is there a huge difference in performance

Kavinqt :

RX 470 power draw = Very similar to the 970 4GB.

Nowhere near 225 watts. Maybe if you include the rest of the system's power draw It's probably 225 total.

ShanGaming :

Yes, RX 470 performs up to 20-22 fps better in most games.

So I'm planning on playing games on 1080p and I'd like it to be on high settings. And I'll be playing GTA V, CSGO, Call of Duty, Battlefield 1, etc. Would the 1050 ti be good for those types of games

ShanGaming :

GTX 1050 Ti will be ok at medium/high settings, RX 470 4GB will be good enough for ultra settings 1080p.

Oh, I thought the TDP was 225 my bad.

How about this one

It comes with a free Xbox one controller

That's a fine card, Most all of the rx 470 4gb versions are going to be very close to identical performance.

ShanGaming · Feb 24, 2017

Ok but the watts for this card is only 120 I thought you said it was 220 or something near it

Kavinqt · Feb 24, 2017

ShanGaming :

Yes and I also said before, my bad I saw somewhere showing the TDP being 225, but it turns out it is 120 on most cards.

Doesn't change the fact that most all RX 470's (4gb) versions are going to perform around identical to each other.

ShanGaming · Feb 24, 2017

Oh yes true. Well now I have to take my psu out and install a PCI connector to it

RCFProd · Feb 24, 2017

ShanGaming :

Free XB1 controller? That's a sick deal.

ShanGaming · Feb 24, 2017

RCFProd :

I know. Thats why i ordered the MSI version instead of the ASUS version. Can't wait until it comes in.

RCFProd · Feb 25, 2017

The MSI Armor 2x is a very basic and bare-bone design. It's the AIB and a basic heatsink+fans installed. Good enough, probably a bit loud.
