i have a gtx 745 right now should i upgrade to  a 1050LP

[ProjectBox153]

For what? What are you using it for? What are the rest of your specs?

[Pwnd_Warrior]

i have a i7 4790 3.60ghz

and 12 gbs of ddr3 ram

gtx 745

[Pwnd_Warrior]

its a ACER Predator G3-605 pre-built

[Ashley MLP Fangirl]

what do you use it for? 

 

and i assume LP means low profile... why? full height cards have much better cooling. 

which you need because my mini itx version of the 1050 gets up to 70 degrees while playing Overwatch.

a normal 1050 doesn't need an extra psu connector. i have a Gigabyte mini-itx one, and it only needs motherboard power. 

maybe an "OC" version needs it, but mine doesn't. 

 

you can look up the specific ard you want to buy and see if it needs it...

Why not opt for 1050TI LP

[Pwnd_Warrior]

the fan on my gpu is starting to get louder now  and when i play overwatch my gpu gets to 80 deg

[Pwnd_Warrior]

ill have to wait awhile to get a gtx 1050lp

[ElZamo92]

You should buy the 1050ti for maximum performance. There are lots of them that don’t require extra VGA power connections.

the normal 1050 is fine for playing games like overwatch... i can play on high/epic settings at 60fps fine. 

[Pwnd_Warrior]

also my current gpu is 4gb gddr3 which is bad

no it isn't. and no swearing here. 

 

like you can use more than 2gb on such a weak card. Overwatch on epic settings doesn't go over 1.5GB for me.

Buying a better GPU will let you enjoy more games in the future, specially when tje differwnce in price is less than 20 quid. 

Look at this one: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/wrmxFT/evga-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-acx-20-video-card-04g-p4-6251-kr

the price difference was more for me. but yes, with that small of a difference the 1050ti is  better deal.

Oh, I thought yoy where from the UK because of the link you sent. 

Just remember that some new games like PUBG use up a lot of VRAM, so a 2 GB card might not last that long

oh okay, didn't realize you could undervolt those cards as well.
