Should I Buy this 1050 ti???

TopToPC

I am looking to buy a graphics card that can run all of my games and leveled out what I want. Since I started looking during the worst time I couldn't find anything that was in my budget until I found a 1050 ti and was wondering if anybody can find a better deal or if I should get the Graphis card

It is kinda pricey for a 1050ti. I suggest you wait a while longer for new graphics cards.

well considering that it is a double fan with a 4 gb video ram and a 1468 MHz boost clock and the only thing I can find close to that is for $300 - $400 I say it isn't half bad

True. If you can't wait and you know how to overclock a graphics card, then it would be a near decent card.

What about a 980 used?

The normal price for the 4GB version is around $170, at least when I checked it last summer.

Well ever since December, bitcoin has blown up and graphic card and ram have doubled in prices so a nvidia 1060 in the summer would be around $200 but now it is around $400

I looked but they seem to be still more even in the used. Like the cheapest one I could find in used was $350

I would buy a used 750Ti for 50-70 dollars, the performance really isn't that far off from the 1050Ti.

I see what you mean by, but I would like a GPU that will last me about another 3 - 4 years and also has 4 gb in video memory

970? Check local listings, not just ebay.

1050 Ti can play 1080 Medium now, it won't last you 4 years.

Well it depends what games you play and I only play Hearts Of Iron and Counter Strike, but would like to play PUBG. I also have a GPU from early 2013 that can run most of my games at low and medium so I am pretty sure I can get them to run at high with the 1050

If by not far off you mean less than half.

"less than half"

Anyways, I'd still choose a $50 750Ti over an overpriced 1050Ti.
