Sorry I forgot to ask something else will this GPU work with LG monitor W1943SB? do I have to buy a new one?
Depends on your preferred gaming resolution, your LG monitor only is 1366 x 768, which some find too low. The screen size of 19" also is a bit small for others (just a few inches bigger than a laptop). A GTX 1050 Ti can still do mid-high graphics level in 1920 x 1080p (60Hz) resolution gaming. So, it is up to you if 768p is an acceptable resolution for you.
Another concern would be the input-output ports. That LG monitor only has an analog input port (VGA/D-Sub), while the GTX 1050 Ti have all-digital (e.g. DisplayPort and/or HDMI and/or DVI-D) output ports. So, when using the LG monitor with the GTX 1050 Ti, you would need to get an active adapter (such as DP-to-VGA or HDMI-to-VGA or DVI-D-to-VGA) to convert the digital signal to analog.
Can you write it to me in simpler terms?
Monitors have different resolutions, for example,
1920 x 1080 (which we often call 1080p) or
1366 x 768 (which we often call 768p).
The
higher the resolution, the
more areas you can see around your screen (as texts/objects/pixels are
smaller). The
lesser the resolution, the
less areas you see around your screen (as texts/objects/pixels are
bigger).
In
gaming, the
higher the resolution, the
more details you can see (textures are more defined, lesser rough edges, etc.). The
lower the resolution, the
less details you can see (textures are less defined, more rough edges, etc.)
Your LG monitor has a resolution of only 1366 x 768 at a mere 19" viewing size. You can upgrade that to a 1920 x 1080 monitor for
better details at a much larger viewing/screen size, such as a 23" - 24" for a
more immersive gaming experience.
As for the
input-output ports, you current LG monitor only has a VGA input port, which uses a VGA cable to transmit analog signals (
not digital).
The GTX 1050 Ti video cards do
not have any VGA output ports. It only has a DisplayPort, an HDMI port, and a DVI-D port - all of which uses digital signals (
not analog).
So, with your current LG monitor, you
cannot simply use the VGA cable as the GTX 1050 Ti does
not have a VGA port. Likewise, with a GTX 1050 Ti, you
cannot simply use a DisplayPort cable or an HDMI cable or a DVI-D cable as your LG monitor does
not have any of these ports.
The only solution is to get an
active adapter cable that is capable of converting the digital signal coming from your GPU to an analog signal going in to your current VGA monitor.
Problem is (apart from the additional costs of purchasing), using such adapters is
not a guarantee that you'd get the same video quality (it may work or it also may not work) as using a direct cable connection without any adapters.
To eliminate this possible problem/incompatibility, which was the point of my previous reply to you:
upgrade your current monitor to a 23" 1080p that has at least a DisplayPort or an HDMI port or a DVI-D port for direct connection to your planned GTX 1050 Ti purchase.
