Should I buy my graphics card now or wait till Black Friday?

lukegabriel7.lr · Aug 21, 2017

I was wondering I've been saving up for a GTX 1050 TI, my CPU sadly is only the AMD A8-6600k, is it worth buying the graphics card now, or should I wait till Black Friday? I looked up some of the requirements for PUBG and it said I'd be able to play in 720p, 45 FPS. My cousin really wants to play with me and I was wondering if it's worth buying it. I've had my pc for a while now but I don't think I'll be making a new build anytime soon.

I don't think those prices are going to come down much until the next generation replaces them. Best advice is to keep an eye on PCPartPicker.com and strike when a deal pops up on the card you want.

Black Friday sales rarely include popular computer components. If you need the card now, buy it now. If not and a deal doesn't pop up before Black Friday, buy it then.

the 1050 ti isn't too affected by the mining craze. I'd say yes, I also think you'd get a little more than 720p haha probably 1080p low/med settings. I'd say go for it, it opens the door to so many games.

Would adding the 1050 ti improve my recording/streaming performance as well?

As it has more of it's own memory, it doesn't have to borrow as much from the system memory, so it should improve your performance overall.

Would this mean I would be able to play Player Unknown at low settings?

If the rest of your system meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements for the game, then yes. You should be able to play that game on low settings.

Of course, all this assumes you have a sufficient power supply to run the new graphics card.
