Ok over the last few weeks I have asked about the 1050/1050ti card ( no idea what the differences are ) as i want to update my rig from a 550ti 1gb

so will this card be an upgrade from what have now?

 

MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 2GT LP 2 GB GDDR5 128 Bit Graphics Card

 

not to sure if low profile is any different from other cards

 

Brand new I get one for £120-£130

am i wasting my money?

 

games I play are AOE2/Crysis/Farcary,Cue,and COD Games etc on a 1080p 40" Sony smart tv I am not a heavy gamer mostly play AOE2 its just want to upgrade form the gtx550ti 1mb card I have or should I look at something else to spend my money on?

You can always look at your local used listings. You can probably pick up a GTX 970 for about the same price as a 1050 Ti, and it'll run games better. The 1050 Ti is just slightly more powerful than the 1050. Worth the extra couple bucks in my opinion if you go new.

I would get a used 1050Ti, and yes it would be a good performance increase over your current graphics card. Low profile cards have a smaller slot at the back to fit into small desktops, but I would just get the normal version if you have a regular-sized case.

Yeah I have a full tower case it an aging gaming computer by today's rigs as it 4 years old it is a Medion Razer will massive upgrade potential the reason why i got it in the first place

MIght look at the gtx 970 now then if they're not that much difference and only playing on a 1080p tv

970 would be the better choice.

 

120 for a 1050 is way too much.

Is that an i5 or an i3?  I hate to be upgrading the GPU then to discover later that you have a slow CPU.

 

Can you check by running CPU-Z what your exact processor is?

2.2 volts core.

something seems fishy here...

[hughes051]

please explain what fishy? as all I've done is download the app as requested and provided as im no system builder and do not understand things like 2.2 volts core since I brought this rig 4 years ago i only upgrade to ssd and added two USB 3 ports? do i need to be worried?

[Dah budget gamer666]

LOL 2.2 volts? It will probably burn your whole pc.

[asus killer]

probably just a CPU-Z error. they happen.

It's possible that CPU-Z is just not reading it correctly.

 

With that i5 CPU and a 1050 to 1050 Ti should be fine. Even a 1060 should be good on that setup. However, anything more powerful and you might encounter a bottleneck.
