so I want to get a gtx 1050 ti for my first build and I wanted to ask does a gtx 1050 ti with 6 a pin power connector perform better than a 1050 ti without a 6 pin power connector
 
Solution
IF you have two cards with the EXACT same GPU (Well, in the case of the GTX-1060... and the exact same RAM config too,) and one has auxiliary power connectors, and the other doesn't... The one that doesn't might pull power beyond PCIe specs from the PCIe slot. The one that has the extra power connector(s) just might not need it, but the manufacturer played it safe. That depends on clock speed and all that.

Suffice to say, if it has the extra power connectors, it's best to connect them because more than likely the card won't function at all if you don't connect the extra power source(s), not even to see the [UEFI] BIOS.

since i want good performance which one should i buy?

 
should not like a evga card your always guaranteed the speced clocks at minimum 6-8 pin or none

so if clocked the same should be the same [in theory]

so if the no 6 pin is speced for 1675 and the 6 pin card is clocked for 1675 there guaranteed to do 1675 as factory speced

like said above most factory / personal overclocked cards may need the extra power higher clocking most times = more power supplied to the cards over the 75w supplied by the slot alone
