What gtx 1050 graphics card should i get with duel fans?

[prettyboy21]

I was wondering which 1050 graphics card i should get. I can't decide on which brand to get.

[RyanMacRocks]

Whichever is cheapest, even if it only has a single fan. I have the Zotac 1050 Ti mini with a single fan and the temps rarely go above 50 Celsius, which is extremely low for a GPU.

In order, get whichever is cheapest:

EVGA > MSI > ASUS > Gigabyte > Zotac > PNY

i guess the "reference design" models will perfom about the same no matter the brand but what about the different factory overclocked models?

 

prices between these models sometimes differ a lot between brands but specs on paper only differ by a megahertz or two here 'n' there

 

is there any "real world" difference at all between a gigabyte windforce OC, a msi twinfrozr gaming and whatever marketing buzzword other board manufacturers chose for their "OC" version ?

 

is there even a noticeable performance difference at all compared to the reference model ?

EVGA because warranty, Zotac because cost-performance.

EVGA warranty sucks, so ZOTAC or MSI.

Please you have made your point clear enough in the other thread could you go easy on your personal rant against EVGA now? [:

You made a claim on EVGA's warranty, I refuted. How this works.

You just repeat your personal misfortune and not a solid fact, if we'd sit here and hear every bad and great story of each brand warranty we'll be here forever, EVGA makes usually the longer covered period and does have a good service most of the time, it is still a solid commonly accepted view of  the brand once you look to the full picture.

You made a claim based off of personal experience right? I responded with mine. Or are you the only one allowed to have a say? 

 

Hmmm.

Factory OCs aren't worth it but different coolers & power delivery components, regardless of warranty, make a huge difference to temps, noise, OC potential, and looks

[sazrocks]

You don't need a dual fan. I would personally go for evga because I and most other have had good experiences with them but app4that had some terrible experiences with them, so it's up to you.

so no real differences in performance - just looks, noise, temps and warranty to consider if i don't plan to OC it myself. is that what you are saying ?

thats good news, because i am planning to buy a 1050 ti and some of these cards are almost as expensive as the cheapest 1060s - like if i drop another 20-25 bucks i could have a 1060 instead of a 1050 ti so i wondered if i would get stock 1050 ti performance for 1060 price or if i would actually get close to 1060 performance for a few bucks less than a real 1060

 

sounds like i would just waste money on overclockability (wich i don't need) and a fancy looking cooler (wich i also don't need because i got no window in my tower)

 

buying a 1050 non-ti vs a 1050 ti is roughly the same story - some non-ti models are almost as expensive as the cheaper ti models, but i guess the performance difference between the two cards might be even bigger because the non ti only has half the VRAM.
