Is GTX 1050 Ti Really Bad?

[Mr. Question Asker]

1050 Ti, they always say that go for 1060 instead of 1050 Ti, but I have purchased 1050 Ti because of my tight budget! 

 

So is my decision of buying 1050 Ti not good or this graphics card really sucks?

 

(And so sorry for Bad English)

what monitor is it running and what cpu?

[3 Lions]

It's an 'okay' card designed for entry level gamers.

My brother has a 1050ti and hes playing most games on medium-high on most games at 60fps. And i have a 1060 6gb and high-very high on most games. If you really are on a budjet i would recommend to save some money for the 1060 6gb.

well its a lot better than the 970 or 980 but i don't think that they are that bad, as long as you tone the graphics down to medium on some new titles, you should be good.

Just be glad that you don't have integrated graphics like me

Yes it is a really bad descision. If you are on a tight budget get a GTX 970 instead of a 1050 Ti. The 970 will beat the 1050Ti by a large margin at about the same price point. The 1050Ti is just bad value for the money, even though it is not much money you'll pay for it in total.

you should not see any problems playing games at medium - high settings, some games you may even be able to go higher, it is a good card just with the move to 1440p and 4k it isn't that great so thats what everyone sees which is why i think it has been given a semi bad name.

Hmm... Right

Then I will return my Graphics Card to the shopkeeper and will buy 1060 instead

Spoiler

(BTW, From where I purchased this will surely replace with 1060 because it is only 5 Days new!)

The card is perfectly fine. It's price - performance ratio isn't as good as the 1060.

i was just saying that when people say its a bad card they are probably referring to the 1440p and above resolutions for 1080p it will run everything at medium - high settings - a 1060 will do 1080p at ultra and 1440p at a similar medium - high settings, than that moves to the 1070 and then next the 1080.

that is from what i have seen, when i build my sister a computer i will probably go a 1050ti unless i will not use the 1060 that i currently have along with a 1080, as the 1050 is quite a good card for 1080p. 

with a 1050 with 1 display you should not see many issues, i only went for the 1060 as i wanted to run 2 monitors and a tv off of it

Why? There is no reason at all to choose a 1050 Ti over a GTX 970. The 970 is superior in every way possible.

But I'm gonna run AAA titles and will be doing some heavy After Effects tasks so that's why I decided to replace my 1050 Ti with 1060 or else I will gift this graphics card to my brother If the shopkeeper won't agree to take 1050Ti back

I know my English really sucks so forgive me about that

well a 6Gb 1060 would be better for your needs over a 1050.

You do realize that for buying both a 1050Ti and 1060 you could have gotten yourself a 1080, right?

[Mr. Question Asker]

Thanks all members for helping me!

The 1050 Ti is a fairly capable card. Yes, the 1060 is better, but if you're on a budget, the 1050 Ti is no slouch in any regard.
