I don't want to login to check that offer.

I assume that is a scam, but domain is "wish.com" so maybe it's just a wish (like "I wish that 1050ti 4GB cost that much").

Do not look for super low price offers, until you're really rich and want to test everything. :)

Wish.com = scam

Also the price is too low, the gtx 1050ti doesnt have a vga connector etc etc.

 

Don't buy from wish.com.

Lol good catch. I was not thinking about that.

On the spec sheet photo it is called a gtx 7050ti, whatever that is, and on the gpu-z screenshot it is called a gtx 960.

It is probably a gt 710 or something even lower end.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

  • wish.com
  • Says 1050ti then image says GTX960
  • VGA connector
  • Uses same images for the card as the scam cards on eBay
  • Price is too good to be true
  • GPUz result to 'prove' that it is a real card states GTX960
  • PCIe 2.0

And that's all that I can see with the obnoxious "You must give us your email address and facebook login to view this website" message blocking the screen.

If you want to purchase a graphics card anything, do not purchase from wish.com.

Do you need new GPU or just want?

If you have some money to spend, try to buy another internal HDD or SSD for games, or mechanical keyboad, or some nice external soundcard.

No, it's just a question.

I know people who have some money to spend and want to spend them NOW.

Maybe @iLostMyXbox21 have graphics card (like 750Ti) and wants something better, but still cheap. So my advice is to leave everything "as is", because there is no possibility to buy 1050Ti for 70$. And instead of that buy something that may be useful too.

pretty damn good gpu for a great price, GTX 1050 for 139.99, for 10 dollars extra you can get a higher clock speed.. plus prime one day to anywhere in the US, and they have a 4GB avalable for 179.99

 

i recently got rid of that gpu to buy a gtx 1070 but i had it a week ago.. it is a beast expecialy for lower end PCs, i paid 160 with high clock speed for mine, because at the time 4GB was 250$ so its gone down a LOT

I would say that's the immediate giveaway that it's poorly done bait.

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III
