Actually, that's true for many of the models. Probably half of the dual fan models use a six pin connector though. Even so, most of the 1050 ti models, if you look at the manufacturer product page, specifically outline a minimum of a 300w PSU, even on models that do not require a six pin connector and including many of those that are smaller single fan models.
And those recommendations do not factor in any amount of overclocking, they do not factor in the fact that it is highly recommended to run a PSU that has about 40% more capacity than the maximum needs of the system unless you want to replace power supplies every other year, they don't factor in spikes and we know from years of card testing that all of these gaming cards can spike well beyond their specified maximums. They also definitely don't factor in the fact that with a unit that barely meets the requirements of the system you are likely going to be dealing with maximum noise levels from the PSU any time you do anything that uses the graphics card more than rendering browser pages.
It also doesn't consider the fact that there are practically NO power supplies on the market, which are ATX form factor AND of any kind of decent quality, that are below 350w. If you get a PSU below 350w, unless you specifically get one of the few models out there made by Delta or Seasonic, or a very small selection of fairly decent SFF units, chances are almost 95% likely that it's going to be a crap unit. That's just a fact.
For me, even a GPU card that costs under two hundred bucks is still something I'm going to value and want to last, and it's probably not going to with an OEM or low quality PSU in use. Bottom line, it's your money and your system, so it's up to you to use best practices to ensure your hardware is well taken care of, or not.
