Is the gtx 1050 worth it?

[Running Raptors]

I have looked on Amazon for gtx 1050's and most of them are around the sub $100 range and with a $15-$20 rebate. So at around $80 is the gtx 1050 a pretty good card for the price since the gtx 1050 ti are priced to high be worth the price to performance. Want to hear your thoughts on this as I might buy this card.

What do you want to do with it? Game, office work? What res?

Depends on which resolution and which games you wanna do...

also whats you CPU?

the GPU has to fit in the rest of the box

Playing esport games and older games at 1080p 60hz. Game example like world of tanks, payday 2 etc.

It should work, though I'd get a 1050 Ti if you want to run any newer games. The 2GB VRAM on the 1050 will limit most newer games.

Older + ESport = Fine

Newer games: At least get a 1050ti... you need more than 2GB of Vram

It is true but that card isn't at a decent price to be bought at as the price to performance isn't the best but I have considered the card.

It is actually a decent price. It's a $130 (at least for mine) card that can run AAA games on medium/high at 1080p. It's defo a much better investment than the 1050. If you get a 1050, you'll need a whole new GPU if you want to try out AAA games and have a decent experience. With a 1050 Ti, that option is open without needing an upgrade.

You are definitely right. I have just been stalking Amazon, newegg, and microcenter for the gtx 1050 ti and hoping for a awesome deal. I actually might get the ti just have to wait for my rebate to help pay for the card.

How long do rebates take? I ordered a CX450M from Newer with a $20 rebate, and I'd love to know about how long it'll take once I send it in.

I bought a M12 (I think is what it is called) 520watt fully modular psu and I sent the rebate early May and they said it will take 8 to 10 weeks. Currently I'm on vacation and I don't know if it has came in the mail yet. Although I did get my rebate for case from corsair in less than a month. So it may vary between companies.
