$180 for 1050 ti SC?

[lookingforheadphones]

Im looking for a GTX 1050 ti and found the EVGA superclocked one but its $180, is it worth getting it for this much?

[Jurrunio]

If that's USD, it's a horrible deal

 

If that's CAD, then that's very cheap for an all new card

If you're not opposed to eBay, you can get away with a lot better a deal.

Pretty expensive.

are we talking about the 2.0 or the 3.0?

And I can get a 1060 for that money

That's about market price right now, there are some other cards for cheaper from companies such as Zotac, but they do not come with the awesome EVGA warranty

$170-$200 USD is current price range for a 1050 Ti before rebates or sales.

 

RX 570 is a better deal in that price range.

If it's $180 CAD it's not a bad deal at all.

 

If it's $180 USD it's a pretty bad deal.

 

This is an RX 580 for $200:

Here is an RX 570  for $160:

The RX 570 is a lot faster than a 1050ti and the RX 580 is bit faster than the RX 570.

Only 1050 Ti cards I am seeing under ~$170 USD are refurbished or open box.  1050 Ti went from an OK deal to a really bad deal now that RX 570's are around $160.

 

Ironically, this is what prices were like back before crypto mining blew out the GPU market.

Where do we disagree? I recommended the RX 570/580 + linked to some good examples because it is a better deal (in USD).

 

This is important: is the $180 from the OP CAD or USD?

 

If USD, then yes obviously an RX 570/580 is a far superior choice.

 

If CAD, $180 is not bad provided the card is like-new. The cheapest Canadian RX 570 I can find is $265 (CAD) through PCPartPicker.

Im not seeing any new 1050 Ti's anywhere for under ~$230 CAD, so I doubt its $180 CAD for a new card.

 

If its used, ~$180 CAD is an average price, but RX 570's can be had for ~$170 CAD in the used market.

 

The 1050 Ti is a bad deal in pretty much all cases.
