He is going to pair this with an AMD Fx-6300, and he is going to mainly use this for gaming. Also he is pretty broke so he cannot get a different processor

The 1050ti is a more recent card and has more VRAM.

The 1050ti has 768 cuda cores compared to the 960's 1024, but the 1050ti is clocked at a higher speed.

This as well. If it is a 2gb card, the 1050ti is better. 

If its a 4gb card, the 960 is better.

they perform about the same and the 1050ti is more recent and use less energy so i would go with that:

Any price difference? What is the PSU?

Explain?

because the architecture is different. This changes how much work each cuda core can do at the same clock speed, as 'instruction per clock' as CPUs have.

oh sorry the 960 is 4gb

 

With this, you should buy the 960.

1050ti hardware decodes 10 bit hevc 960 doesn’t. And it does Netflix 4K from what I understand. Just something to consider.

Forgetting the video card for just a second make sure he has 8 GB of ram as I finally ran into a situation with my son's pc where a game would not work properly at all because of the lack of ram.  The game was COD WII.

the 1050ti smashes the 960 in gaming, 4gb or not.

Noice. I guess your right. The 1050ti is a more modern card.

A 960 is about the same as a 1050 (from what I've heard.) Not the 1050 ti.

The thing is, a used 960 4GB may be half the price of a brand new GTX 1050ti. I would just take the cheaper video card and call it day. They’re both pretty similar in performance.

Clock for clock, A  "Cuda Core" can't be related like this across different architectures.

 

https://www.gamersnexus.net/dictionary/2-cuda-cores Halfway through first paragraph.

       "Architecture changes in a fashion that makes cross-generation comparisons often non-linear"

      " The Kepler to Maxwell architecture jump saw nearly a 40% efficiency gain in CUDA core processing ability, illustrating the difficulty of linearly drawing comparisons without proper benchmarks."

Today's Time I would like to suggest 1050ti 

as per performance and overclocking 

 

while 960 is also a good 

 

1050ti has got higher overclocking speed

The 1050ti can be bought in a low profile version and put into htpc usage in a sff pc when it’s gaming life has passed.

 

the lp probably will hold value better for that reason
