This is the card I have in my system and I love it. It's my first graphics card in my first gaming PC and all I care about is getting better performance than my PS4, which it does flawlessly.
Shadowjc32 what do you consider better then the ps4 over 30fps or 60fps most games i play on pc i hit 88fps to 144fps with the msi gtx 1050ti gaming x 4gb.
They probably wanted something to compete with AMD's offerings while they were still working on this one. This way the worse 1060 chips became the 3GB ones with a cut down number of CUDA cores.
Also the RX470 can be Crossfired and supports DX12 better and supports freesync=cheaper monitors for video tearing prevention. RX470 best value/Performance card all around
I know you like to do all your own videos just your own way. But if your open to suggestions, their is a LOT of people that are running systems with like an i3 2130 and and usually lower end cards. could you build a PC with something around these specs and maby show how to make it better with overclocking ect. and what to do next in terms of upgrading. Cause that would hit home with a lot of your viewers. Just an idea.
I could help you with a system build/upgrade which is reasonable. Your i3 is just fine, all you need is a suitable GPU but you have to ask yourself what type of gamer are you? If you're playing games like TF2, LoL, DOTA 2 then you don't need a high end card. If you do play triple A games (heavy graphical games) like GTA V, BF1 then you're better off with RX 470 or GTX 1060 3GB. The i3 may bottleneck your gpu but you'll still get above 60 fps. If you want a system build, just let me know and I'll make a suitable system for you.
darkknight1193 hey, even I have an Intel i3 2120 along with 6GB DDR3 RAM should I get the GTX 750Ti 4GB version, I wanna play games like GTA V and Just cause 3, I want the settings to be at high or ultra, I can manage frame rates like 40 and don't care about them, I'll be running games at 1080p. Thanks again!
Hybrid Potato Your RAM is fine so is the processor. What's the price of 750 Ti 4GB in your country (where do you live)? I would rather consider High settings, because Ultra is very hard on a GPU of that range (also your CPU will not let the GPU push the images as much as the desktop cpu. I might find a better and equally priced GPU if you can tell me where you live? Remember that even used high end cards of past generation are still rocking ;)
darkknight1193 I live all the way in India the 1050Ti isn't that different by basis of costs against the 750Ti but again the 1050 is a new card and it might not be that supported in my system so I'm not sure which one to get really..... BTW thank you so much :)
i got the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC and love it! I play WoW and got it set at max settings 1920x1080 and getting about 80-90 fps during raiding and upwards of 95+ fps while questing
we all knew the 460 was kinda cheepo, but the 1050 ti didn't actually surprise me much.. I expected better to be honnest. The 750ti was a beast for the money, this is just... decent. I'd save up for a 470 tbh
Halo Freak this comment has pot head written all over it. 1050ti msrp-$140 Rx 470 msrp-$170 Rx 460 msrp-$120 It costs $30 more it should be better. Also if you're looking at the the 470 just slap $20 more and get the 480 4gb for better performance anyways.
The facial hair looks good man, you should keep it. I keep trying to grow mine out, but I'm always having to shave it because of the tricho. Sometimes I can last a month or so, but then I go HAM and ruin it.
Sadly the pricing is vastly different here in the UK, as the RX460 can be had for as little as £101 yet the cheapest 1050ti is £148.99, and just to make it more confusing the RX470 can be had for £160. Even the cheapest regular 1050 is £114. This makes it a no brainer, AMD is the way to go here at the low end UK GPU market.
I think it would be great, if you would show a graph that shows how the fps drop and spike while you play. Because sometimes the average fps looks great ,but the game is unplayable due to drops in fps. Or you could put a link in the discription of the benchmarks where you can look at those graphs
Funny thing Jay makes fun of the fixed RX480 powerdraw issue but keeps quiet about the whole 1070 Micron ram issue and EVGA's recent f*** up with the VRAM temps on the FTW models of both the 1070 and 1080.
What is that pricing in your video supposed to mean? The 2GB rx 460's go for as low as 99, and I have never seen one go higher than 125, so why the exaggerated price?
So I did a 2 second google search and found that same gpu he listed the price for still having a listed price of $149 on Newegg: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150778 I mean it requires such minimal effort to research the most basic thing, so why are you so lazy about it?
Martin Ptáček I see what you're saying. On NewEgg the XFX 4GB is $149 while the 2GB XFX is $129. But then they have a XFX "True OC" model for $99. Weird pricing for those 2GB Models. Not sure why Jay has "AMD RX 460 2GB" in the pricing graph. Even if you browsed PcPartPicker individual parts you can get the XFX 2GB for $104. I do realize these are prices after the drop but if I'm not mistaken the price drop was only $10. I guess it was a simple typo on his part. Also, one final edit, I guess he just put the $149 price point of a 4GB there since the 1050ti is a 4GB card itself. I just wish this comparison was two 4GB models going against each other and not a 2GB vs 4GB.
You just compare 96£ GPU with 150£ GPU im not fan boy of AMD ( got nvidia) but next video should be GTX1050 vs RX470?? Include FPS/$(£) when its looks like AMD beats Nvidia i have done calculations from your video ( data ) and on average u have to pay 3.44 £ for every FPS on GTX 1050Ti when on RX460 u pay just 2.87 £ for every FPS when they will release GTX1050 I would like to see video all 4 cards ( GTX1050, GTX1050Ti, RX460, RX470 ) and include price / FPS so can everyone see by adding 20-30£ can have better card. GTX 1050Ti vs RX470 GTX 1050 vs RX460 not GTX 1050Ti vs rx460 RX460 - 96£ GTX 1050 - 115£ GTX 1050Ti - 150£ RX470 - 180£
I'm running a 1050 TI and it has been serving me well, playing quake champions, battlefield 1, overwatch, running these games at 2560x1440 with no problems at all. Very happy with the card.
Bought an entire rig (custom built) with an i7-7700 and the GTX 1050ti and it's really a beast. He doesn't really play these AAA games, but it works at 100-140fps for games like WoW, League of legends and CS:GO. He loves it. Thanks for the video.
JayzTwoCents so my time spy score is identical but my fire strike is 1200 points higher. and if this cards actually cost the MSRP, which hasn't been close lately, then I saved at least 50 bucks.
ZOMG so efficiency doesn't matter, unless your power supply can't handle it, because it should take 1 to 2 years to make up the cost. and dx12 is the same performance. I will absolutely give you sound because I got a reference model, but I game with a headset on neways.
JayzTwoCents DX12 wont be fully implemented in games until a couple of years, personnaly, not worth it imo, and plus i game mostly on linux. Vulka is where its at, dx12 shouldnt go forward...
This card is for 1080p what a 1080 is for 4k. That's why if you can afford them the 1060 or the 1070 I think are the best cards for 1080p... unless you're good with the medium settings for many AAA games/or you don't care about the 60fps treshold. So the costumer has to choose between the good settings at 35 to 50fps, the 60fps medium to high settings, or the more expensive all around stuff. Great video as always Jay!
Why should it be a game changer? in Linus Video you saw that it's barely faster than a 950. Not even as ''strong'' as a 960. I think if you want something in this Price cathegory, save some more up and buy the RX470 since it's noticable faster than this.
This card is as strong as gtx 960 if not a little faster. At $140 yeah price to performance is meh the rx 470 is a better deal at $160-170($150 If has rebate sale). I got my 1050ti however for $123 off jet.com. Being tight for cash cause college i found it a good buy at that price
Side note - Witcher 3. You can set almost everything to high. Just dont use hairworks, set aa to off an use driver fxaa, and set ambient oclusion off. The game still looks amazing and the worse FPS you will get is 40-45 in Novigrad city. You will be sitting on 55-60 frames most of the time. Of course playing in 1080p.
CaveManta I saw the pricing .. 750 ti costs just a bit less than the 1050 ti ... so i think this is the end for the 750 . If anyone wants to upgrade and sell their 750 TI ... Now would be the time because prizes will drop soon.
I ordered this card to put it into a server to pass it through to a VM for streaming Steam. No need for a extra power cable and nothing above 1080p would be needed. I havnt gotten it running yet as i am doing some other upgrades to the server...i.e. board so i have a 16x slot. but will update this once I have it running here in a week or so.
Good video Jay and professionally well done. How good is this card for video and photo editing on Adobe programs? Also I have a 3 gb R9 280x and would this card be an upgrade? What camera do you use to shoot your videos with?
What a disappointment GTX 1080 100% faster than 780 GTX 1070 100% faster than 770 GTX 1060 100% faster than 760 GTX 1050 ti only 60% faster than 750ti :( RX 470 here I go
bought mine yesterday, when i saw this video i was shocked for a second, i thought i made a bad choice, saw the price, saw the benchmarks and now i'm glad i got the 470.
I don't think some people don't understand the appeal of this card. Sure the performance isn't mind blowing. But it's not just about the performance. It's the fact that this is the best card money can buy that doesn't require additional power. It's small, runs whisper quiet, doesn't get hot. There's something beautiful about the fact that I simply dropped this card into the PCI-E slot of my parents' old Phenom II x4 965 BE + 8gb DDR2 pre-built PC from like 2009 that came with an OEM 400w PSU with no 6-pin cable, and it works! This old beast has been revitalized and can run new games in 1080p at medium-to-ultra settings at respectable FPS. You think most people who buy pre-builts want to worry about swapping out power supplies, managing cables, and shit like that? Of course not. Not to mention a decent PSU will run you an extra $50+. The GTX 1050 Ti is a card that says "fuck all that bullshit". Anyone with a brain can install it in 30 minutes or less, and pretty much any PC with a PCI-E slot can work with it.
Seriously Jay, even I can put my bias aside when we're discussing the lower end, and then you go out a compare it to a 460, without even showing a 470 in your benchmarks, everybody knows that the 50 series is usually a direct competitor to the 70 series and the 60 series is supposed to go one step lower than nvidia, this is how it has been for countless generations. The 470 can be bought for only $15-$30 more than most 1050 TIs but with up to 50%+ more performance. Make no mistake, this video was made with exclusive intent to make AMD look bad, when in reality their tier of card for only slightly more with a descending price vastly outperforms nvidia's offering. This leaves me with only one question, Exactly how much Nvidia corp stock do you own jay.
Seriously, thank you for showing the budget cards of the new series. Its really fun to see the super cards work their magic but these type of videos are awesome too
***** 3gb vram isnt enough and it also has lower performance than 6gb..rx 470 is the sweet card for 1080p/60fps with the best $/performance in the market..gtx 1050ti is a no sense gpu in the market atm
I am team what fits my needs, tho i know jay is not really team green some how i think Team green gives more free stuff so its not fair we al know green is faster but its al depending on needs. I love jay and his show but the last time its all team green, 5 shows make the same video in de same hour thats planned so it's biased i think.
mike corn yea it is. Btw team yellow is green and red combined. So I like both. But the 460 is a crazy deal. It's cheaper then the 750 ti now, finally, and it performed better. The issue is Nvidia is always marking a better card but also more expensive. I don't get it.
Awesome video, I own HP elite 8200 sff with i5-2400 / evga sc 16gb ram / Crucial mx300 ss hd & msi 1050 ti low profile. When i purchased this gpu @ X-mas ( decided to upgrade ) turned my old pc into mini gaming beast ! All my new games set to high & Anistropic filtering @. x16 ...... Thanx 4 posting
You should not get the 1050, the 460X is better and just cost 10$ more. Ok But the 1050 Ti just cost 10$ more too and is muchhh better than the 460X. Sureee but the 4GB 470X is only 10$ more and it destroys the 1050 Ti !!!!! See where I'm going with this ?!! When you think about it, the cheapest card is the 1050 and it cost 110$ but the new msrp of the 4GB 470x is 150$. So basically, for only 40$ more you get so MUCH more performance, it's ridiculous. Personally, I wouldn't buy the 1050/1050 ti/460x, the price/performance is not there. I guess there's a niche market for people with pre-built Dell/Acer/HP which tend to have really shitty PSU.
Give it some time, they just dropped the msrp on the 470x... it was like yesterday. Etailer usually don't drop their price immediately, especially if the card still sell well at a higher price.
Hey Jay, here's an idea, I've always bought cheap motherboards (AAA brands) because I feel apart from maybe extra usb ports and such, there's no real benefit when it comes to gaming. I'd be interested to see a comparison between really expensive motherboards and cheap ones, if it makes any difference in fps, loading times, stability, etc.
Jay, this card has the same performance as an HD 7970 from five years ago. It has much lower power usage but that doesn't really strike me as anything that I would refer to as "Beast Mode" considering that I just took two HD 7970s out of my rig and replaced them with an R9 Fury only because I want to game at 4K with my new display and 3GB of GDDR5 won't cut it (and neither would 4GB of GDDR5).
You're making an absurd comparison, how can you even mention an R9 Fury when this video is about a budget video card? You just missed the entire point of this video. It's obvious it won't hold a candle to high end GPU, and this is aimed at budget gamers who might not want to buy a big power supply.
Thanks Jay. I actually just bought a 1050 ti ssc around a week ago. after watching this and seeing it's performance, I wanted to get it, as it was a good price for me and it was performance I wanted.
cool video. I was about to buy a 1060, but then noticed one of these for around 130$. Now a super tough choice to be made. I personally don't mind playing on medium / high mixture of settings at 1080p. The main thing is that I want a solid 60+fps. It's tempting to buy one of these for almost half a 1060. Even if it only last 1 year before something more powerful is needed then it would still be worth it.
Jay, I'm trusting you on this card. I'm building a budget system based on a used i7 3770 and I want to get it up and running asap. Love your videos (you're my favourite tech youtuber, yes even over Marques).
+Jayztwocents @Jayztwocents Would you consider making a short series covering computer components such as Ram, GPU, cpu, etc etc. I enjoy watching your videos, and feel that you would explain things such as cuda cores boost clocks and whatnot for beginners to understand. Even if it's like a 20 video playlist, it would be pretty cool, and give you a bigger breath in the computer community. Not to mention you already have videos like water-cooling for beginners which would fit perfectly into that playlist
The 1050ti is very nice, even still. Perfect for 1080p gaming, though I will be moving on to 2k resolution gaming soon. I play gta v at 1080p with high to ultra settings and get around 80 fps average. It does peak at around 110 occasionally. I do want to game at a higher refresh rate, with a new monitor delivering soon with 144hz. I also want to game at 2560x1440p rather than 1920x1080. The 1050ti will unfortunately not be able to preform anywhere close to 144 fps with the resolution and settings, so evidently NVIDIA sticks to their word when they say that the 1050ti is the key to 1080p gaming. I will be updating to a 1080ti in time! I just do not have the funds unfortunately.. Keep up the great videos Jayz, you were the one to inspire me to get into computer tech and gaming.
Ty jay for the review really good job,also could u check the evga gtx1050 ti ftw the one with the 6-pin power connector when it is available? i would really love to see u overclocking the gpu to its limits.Really nice job again with the review and thank u for giving me the information i needed to choose a suitable gpu for my system and my pocket.
Hey Jay, thanks for the review man! Could you also make another short video comparing it to GTX 750Ti, GTX 950, GTX 960, RX 470 and/or GTX 1060? The first three are similarly priced and the last two could be there just for comparison. *fingers crossed*
Man I bought epic battle sim and put it on the LOWEST settings possible. It was so bad you couldn’t even read the text and my laptop still couldn’t play it lolSo after checking out your channel I’m going to build a desktop. Need it mostly for work but I’m going for a build that can actually run the 3 or 4 games I like. Thanks for the videos man probably my favorite channel on PC’s so far
@JayTwoCents, great videos! Please when you use graphs please keep the order of the GPU/CPU etc the same thoughout your graphs slideshow. It makes keeping track of them easier!
I like how things evolve. 1080p gaming is getting cheaper, and modern games even look good on the lowest settings, for example BF1 or Battlefront, Tomb Raider, Overwatch, Whitcher 3 and even No Man's Sky. If you want to spend thousands of $$$, you can do that but even a low budget PC can hande all the modern games without huge drops in graphical quality.
I currently have a GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB ZT-70601-10M in my computer. My board is a gigabyte 970-gaming sli and I have a fx8350 cpu running 16 gigs of ram. I don't use my computer for that much gaming. Usually just for video editing, recording xbox one with the elgato hd60 and streaming using xsplit at 720p60. I can actually record at 1080p60 and stream at 720p60 with xsplit broadcaster at the same time right now but it really makes this setup work. Just curious if the 1050Ti would give me any performance boost.
Jay, thank you for this video! I love Bang-for-Your_Buck videos! I am looking at building a new computer after 10 years of using the same one, and these videos are helping me choose what to use!
You should start doing video editing performance tests. This card will be in many lightweight laptops that will be used for task like that instead of gaming .
now that the price dropped on the Rx 460 , I'd like to see a comparison between the 950, 960 2gb, 960 4gb, 1050 2gb, Rx 460, 1050ti 4gb, Rx 470, 1060 3gb, and 1060 6gb... it would be interesting how they stack up at 1080 and if its a worthy upgrade from the 950/960...
Greetings from Malaysia, Jay... great video on the 1050 which is the still very much affordable than the 1060. My gaming itch has started again and I'm thinking of building my entry level gaming PC after a very very long time. Which is the best 8th gen Intel CPUs (the 8100 or 8400) for this GPU? aka avoiding those nasty micro stutters.
Hey Jayz, love your videos btw. How "noisy" is the card in idle? Do the fans spin or does it run in zero fan mode ? If the fans spin, how loud is it ? Sorry for some bad gramma =)
Jay, would you recommend this card to someone over an older card that is faster & cheaper (at this point in time), if that person has an ample PSU? Say something like a R9 380X or a GTX 770 / 960 etc?
Thanks for the info Jay! Would you make a video on VR gaming? specially using such budget VR Ready cards. Is one enough? Will 2 way SLI do any good? Specially compared to a single 1060 for example.
I've been considering getting the 1050ti to replace my 750ti since I ran across it while looking at the 10 series stuff. Still aiming for the 6gb 1060 at the most. But after this video, I'll be watching the 1050ti more closely.
Cool Jay. Although if you want to test the card with world of warcraft then try to go to a more detailed environment. Like Gorgrond (Draenor) or Azsuna (The broken isles). You can really feal the difference. Even I can with an fx-8350, 16 gigs of ram and a 4gb 290 OC...
Jay you should do a video on first programs you should install with a new gaming pc, i think it would be a great topic for a video. ( stress testers, overclocking software, and anything else you think should be included)
dude, this helps out alot, gota a friend who wants me to build him an all rounder rig, mainly for flight simulation and his budget is around 600, 1050 ti seems like a solid setup for the price and wattage value.
*watch video about 1080
*plan to buy 1070
*check bank balance
*decide to buy 1060
*bought 1050ti
Ulrich Koch
me too bruh
Why is this so relatable
same. kinda surprised how this gpu is so little but pack quite some power.
Same haha. Love this card.
I’m buying 1080ti ‘,:)
This is the card I have in my system and I love it. It's my first graphics card in my first gaming PC and all I care about is getting better performance than my PS4, which it does flawlessly.
Shadowjc32 what do you consider better then the ps4 over 30fps or 60fps most games i play on pc i hit 88fps to 144fps with the msi gtx 1050ti gaming x 4gb.
LinusTechTips, JayzTwoCents, Paul's Hardware, and TechSource all uploaded this video at the exact same time XD
That's how NDA works
don't forget BitWit :D
TechGuyYT ikrrr
TheBubblegamer no he didn't put out the video
it's a liitle bit strange
the 50ti series has ALWAYS been the greatest VALUE
I had a 550 Ti and a 750 Ti. Although I run a GTX 1070 now, I agree with you 100% on the value.
had a 550ti for my first gpu. best overclocker ever!!
1050ti as 4gb? So why on earth did nvidia release the 1060 3gb?
960 also had 4gb when 970 had 3,5.
Well with the 1060 you can get it with 6gb, I just think the 3gb version is a bit redundant
They probably wanted something to compete with AMD's offerings while they were still working on this one. This way the worse 1060 chips became the 3GB ones with a cut down number of CUDA cores.
I guess you get more fps if you don't need all that vram.
Exactly my question as well , I just bought the MSI GTX1060 3G & as per usual There's a cheaper card out :( $%$%%#!!^%&$^^!
Cuda cores:
1080 - 2560
1070 - 1920
1060 - 1280
1050ti - 768
1050 - 640
pun intended Nvidia?
Half Life 3 confirmed!
Is the 1080 Ti going to be 4K?
TrueGamer007 I don't get it Ima noob
+Aki777craft Resolution
I think that's just how binary numbers work or whatever it's called
i lol'd
i love how jay, linus and edgar uploaded a vid on 1050ti at EXACTLY the same time
That NDA was lifted boi
and paul
Just wanted to comment that :D
oh shit and kyle and paul
Embargo
Also the RX470 can be Crossfired and supports DX12 better and supports freesync=cheaper monitors for video tearing prevention. RX470 best value/Performance card all around
The 1050ti doesn't have a power connector, which will be a big selling point.
Steven my man reference models doesnt have power connector but already gigabyte has a 6pin connector, get your facts straight or dont speak at all
zecRjee
There are no reference models, doofus.
roderick. r. Get the 1060, if you have the 960, just keep it, its not the much of an upgrade
Raiden the Ripper I just bought a Gigabyte Rx 470 lol
I know you like to do all your own videos just your own way. But if your open to suggestions, their is a LOT of people that are running systems with like an i3 2130 and and usually lower end cards. could you build a PC with something around these specs and maby show how to make it better with overclocking ect. and what to do next in terms of upgrading.

If you do play triple A games (heavy graphical games) like GTA V, BF1 then you're better off with RX 470 or GTX 1060 3GB. The i3 may bottleneck your gpu but you'll still get above 60 fps. If you want a system build, just let me know and I'll make a suitable system for you.
WTF is an i32130?
darkknight1193 hey, even I have an Intel i3 2120 along with 6GB DDR3 RAM should I get the GTX 750Ti 4GB version, I wanna play games like GTA V and Just cause 3, I want the settings to be at high or ultra, I can manage frame rates like 40 and don't care about them, I'll be running games at 1080p. Thanks again!
Hybrid Potato Your RAM is fine so is the processor. What's the price of 750 Ti 4GB in your country (where do you live)? I would rather consider High settings, because Ultra is very hard on a GPU of that range (also your CPU will not let the GPU push the images as much as the desktop cpu. I might find a better and equally priced GPU if you can tell me where you live? Remember that even used high end cards of past generation are still rocking ;)
darkknight1193 I live all the way in India the 1050Ti isn't that different by basis of costs against the 750Ti but again the 1050 is a new card and it might not be that supported in my system so I'm not sure which one to get really..... BTW thank you so much :)
i got the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC and love it! I play WoW and got it set at max settings 1920x1080 and getting about 80-90 fps during raiding and upwards of 95+ fps while questing
Rip 460, Your time was short lived.
The 1050ti is the 470 competitor, the 1050 is the 460 competitor. It's obvious that the 1050ti is better than the 460 :/
Supercuark The 470 is $40-50 more than the 1050ti...
The 1050ti Is ALOT cheaper than the 470. I Don't think that is Fair.
Eh... Over here, the cheapest 1050Ti is 50% more expensive than the cheapest Rx 460. It does not offer 50% better performance.
at this point it actually makes more sense to buy a used 970 for ~150€ (~$160)
we all knew the 460 was kinda cheepo, but the 1050 ti didn't actually surprise me much.. I expected better to be honnest. The 750ti was a beast for the money, this is just... decent. I'd save up for a 470 tbh
MrPoldekrosmol 460=best value. Got mine for 108
MrPoldekrosmol I already have it:(
DougisLive well its not bad
The rx 460 was never meant to go against the 1050 ti. If you want a more fair test you should have gone with the rx 470.
@ Halo Freak: agreed and based off Luke's video the RX 470 killed it.
.
Halo Freak this comment has pot head written all over it.
1050ti msrp-$140
Rx 470 msrp-$170
Rx 460 msrp-$120
It costs $30 more it should be better. Also if you're looking at the the 470 just slap $20 more and get the 480 4gb for better performance anyways.
TheSinisterEyes1 so the rx460 is $99?
its not like jay doesnt usually compare gpu's to higher priced ones, right?
I came up to one of these from a 750Ti and I couldn't be happier - huge improvement and overclocks trivially easily.
The facial hair looks good man, you should keep it. I keep trying to grow mine out, but I'm always having to shave it because of the tricho. Sometimes I can last a month or so, but then I go HAM and ruin it.
Sadly the pricing is vastly different here in the UK, as the RX460 can be had for as little as £101 yet the cheapest 1050ti is £148.99, and just to make it more confusing the RX470 can be had for £160. Even the cheapest regular 1050 is £114. This makes it a no brainer, AMD is the way to go here at the low end UK GPU market.
oc uk have rx460 under 100
I recently got a MSI RX 470 8gb, and coming from a old 7850 2gb, The performance is amazing
Yup RX 470 is best bang for buck card out there in my opinion.
Jason Williams thats a lie? amazon sell 1050ti for 130?minimum
Richard ali that's the 2gb version not the 4gb
I think it would be great, if you would show a graph that shows how the fps drop and spike while you play. Because sometimes the average fps looks great ,but the game is unplayable due to drops in fps. Or you could put a link in the discription of the benchmarks where you can look at those graphs
Funny thing Jay makes fun of the fixed RX480 powerdraw issue but keeps quiet about the whole 1070 Micron ram issue and EVGA's recent f*** up with the VRAM temps on the FTW models of both the 1070 and 1080.
Yayyyy for jay. Mentioning the RX480 even though that was overblown. Good job m8, hope you got paid :D
I have the Zotac version of the 1050ti and it has been performing really really well, I've been super happy with it.
What is that pricing in your video supposed to mean? The 2GB rx 460's go for as low as 99, and I have never seen one go higher than 125, so why the exaggerated price?
I was wondering the same myself?
Martin Ptáček I got my gigabyte windforce for 108
So I did a 2 second google search and found that same gpu he listed the price for still having a listed price of $149 on Newegg: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150778
I mean it requires such minimal effort to research the most basic thing, so why are you so lazy about it?
Shane Vincent that's not the GPU he listed. He listed a 2 GB model and that was my point. Watch the video one more time.
Martin Ptáček I see what you're saying. On NewEgg the XFX 4GB is $149 while the 2GB XFX is $129. But then they have a XFX "True OC" model for $99. Weird pricing for those 2GB Models. Not sure why Jay has "AMD RX 460 2GB" in the pricing graph. Even if you browsed PcPartPicker individual parts you can get the XFX 2GB for $104. I do realize these are prices after the drop but if I'm not mistaken the price drop was only $10. I guess it was a simple typo on his part.
Also, one final edit, I guess he just put the $149 price point of a 4GB there since the 1050ti is a 4GB card itself. I just wish this comparison was two 4GB models going against each other and not a 2GB vs 4GB.
It should be:
GTX 1050 vs RX 460 2 GB
GTX 1050 ti vs RX 460 4 GB...
Get that right man.
Sifat Rabby you wont see a difference lmao the 460 is the Same card only with Different vram configurations will only give u less stutters maybe
BattleExtremeNL Just for the convenience.
the 2 gb's do not make a big difference.
its does not make different for some game but for game Jay has benchmarked it will make difference as few of them required more VRAM
More vram only yields more fps if you don't have enough of it.
You just compare 96£ GPU with 150£ GPU
im not fan boy of AMD ( got nvidia) but next video should be GTX1050 vs RX470??
Include FPS/$(£) when its looks like AMD beats Nvidia
i have done calculations from your video ( data )
and on average u have to pay 3.44 £ for every FPS on GTX 1050Ti when
on RX460 u pay just 2.87 £ for every FPS
when they will release GTX1050 I would like to see video all 4 cards ( GTX1050, GTX1050Ti, RX460, RX470 )
and include price / FPS so can everyone see by adding 20-30£ can have better card.
GTX 1050Ti vs RX470
GTX 1050 vs RX460
not GTX 1050Ti vs rx460
RX460 - 96£
GTX 1050 - 115£
GTX 1050Ti - 150£
RX470 - 180£
I really enjoy the way you make your vids. Great job! :)
I'm running a 1050 TI and it has been serving me well, playing quake champions, battlefield 1, overwatch, running these games at 2560x1440 with no problems at all. Very happy with the card.
Imagine if a wildlife park ranger saw the title of this video. Also,
This card is much more underwhelming than reviewers seem to want to admit. 750 to 950 was a better upgrade than 950 to 1050...
Sergio Perez Of course. You compared 2 gen gap to 1 gen gap.
Edit: Just a prank bro, I'm noob.
there was no 8xx series, lol
Ormmwar really? im a noob and i saw 880m so i thought there is one haha
1050 and 1050Ti are too underclocked.
jerbs the 880m is a mobile gpu , for laptops
don't die please hold on ZEN is coming
Zen and Vega!
Mundie Afterlife im still waiting for a rx 490 :)
i'ma getting rx 470 sooN 170$ is great price
thats going to be a dual gpu card just buy Rs 480s and crossfire them
hitesh jetwani Nope don't do that....he wants to actually play games lol, as we all know there is no support for duel cards in new and most games.
Bought an entire rig (custom built) with an i7-7700 and the GTX 1050ti and it's really a beast. He doesn't really play these AAA games, but it works at 100-140fps for games like WoW, League of legends and CS:GO. He loves it. Thanks for the video.
Ordered my EVGA 1050 ti from Amazon on Friday. Can't arrive soon enough. This video made the choice easy, thank you
Its dumb to buy a video card in this price range, you could just buy a much faster used card for less money. you can get used 7970's for 100 or less.
+xupthree60 you forget about DX12
JayzTwoCents so my time spy score is identical but my fire strike is 1200 points higher. and if this cards actually cost the MSRP, which hasn't been close lately, then I saved at least 50 bucks.
Dx12, better efficiency, lower heat. If you don't care about Dx12 and need a good performing card, yes you are right.
ZOMG so efficiency doesn't matter, unless your power supply can't handle it, because it should take 1 to 2 years to make up the cost. and dx12 is the same performance. I will absolutely give you sound because I got a reference model, but I game with a headset on neways.
JayzTwoCents DX12 wont be fully implemented in games until a couple of years, personnaly, not worth it imo, and plus i game mostly on linux. Vulka is where its at, dx12 shouldnt go forward...
fun fact , 1080 ti is more powerful than 3060 ti
Even if u overclock it its literally a 2080 super
"139 $" you say? in germany it's "200 €" so NOPE
Actually no, in finland 1050ti costs 165 euros. Witch is a good price.
In germany it's actualy ~155€
you should check prices before talkin ;)
Nefertenia I did, and most 1050s where in the 150-200 price range
MSI 1050Ti is 150€ in Germany. www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/4096MB-MSI-GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-4G-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Retail-_1125766.html
true but it isnt in stock so... kinda hard then to buy
I put this card in your $550 build, and cut corners on the case and I was able to manage a $512 price! Definitely considering ordering the parts!
This card is for 1080p what a 1080 is for 4k.
That's why if you can afford them the 1060 or the 1070 I think are the best cards for 1080p... unless you're good with the medium settings for many AAA games/or you don't care about the 60fps treshold.
So the costumer has to choose between the good settings at 35 to 50fps, the 60fps medium to high settings, or the more expensive all around stuff. Great video as always Jay!
Why should it be a game changer? in Linus Video you saw that it's barely faster than a 950. Not even as ''strong'' as a 960. I think if you want something in this Price cathegory, save some more up and buy the RX470 since it's noticable faster than this.
Paul Reyher is the 460 a good value. I got mine for 108
cause he's shilling hardcore this video
to be fair, jayz is green blooded all the way. He put the rx 460 at 150 us $ when is really at 110
Jesús Alejandro Rojas Villarroel you have to remember he made the video before the prices changed.
This card is as strong as gtx 960 if not a little faster. At $140 yeah price to performance is meh the rx 470 is a better deal at $160-170($150 If has rebate sale). I got my 1050ti however for $123 off jet.com. Being tight for cash cause college i found it a good buy at that price
Just woke up, great way to start my day
COOKIE WTF I live in Jalisco, Mexico 8:18
COOKIE WTF am that is
goodmorning bro
and im going to sleep
What a great budget card
"but most people are looking for the most bang in their buck, especially when they don't have a lot of bucks to bang..."
Made my day! XD
Side note - Witcher 3. You can set almost everything to high. Just dont use hairworks, set aa to off an use driver fxaa, and set ambient oclusion off. The game still looks amazing and the worse FPS you will get is 40-45 in Novigrad city. You will be sitting on 55-60 frames most of the time. Of course playing in 1080p.
$139......so that should be around £120-£130 UK price.....NOPE!
They are Priced - £150 which is about $183.33
Thats it Im moving :/
Wish I had a PC, I worked all summer to try to save money for a PC and I couldn't :(( They are too expensive
Buy parts instead.
did you save for a pre-built or parts?
Man if you want you could get a gaming pc for less than 400 bucks.
Adam alt not really
lol lol you could get one with ease that can play GTA 5 and the witcher.. although it's not the best
and i just bought the 750 ti lol
3ds Masterrace lol same here bought the zotac
its a very good card ..ive been using it for a year now and it runs everything great.I got the ASUS one tho
still a good card , dont stress about it . paired with a decent cpu you'll have know issue pushing 50-60 fps on mid to high settings
CaveManta I saw the pricing .. 750 ti costs just a bit less than the 1050 ti ... so i think this is the end for the 750 . If anyone wants to upgrade and sell their 750 TI ... Now would be the time because prizes will drop soon.
just return it man, no point buying 750ti now since 1050 is same price and higher performance
I ordered this card to put it into a server to pass it through to a VM
for streaming Steam. No need for a extra power cable and nothing above
1080p would be needed. I havnt gotten it running yet as i am doing some
other upgrades to the server...i.e. board so i have a 16x slot. but will
update this once I have it running here in a week or so.
Good video Jay and professionally well done. How good is this card for video and photo editing on Adobe programs?
Also I have a 3 gb R9 280x and would this card be an upgrade? What camera do you use to shoot your videos with?
Why comparing between a 4GB GPU in a 2GB one?
What a disappointment
GTX 1080 100% faster than 780
GTX 1070 100% faster than 770
GTX 1060 100% faster than 760
GTX 1050 ti only 60% faster than 750ti :(
RX 470 here I go
bought mine yesterday, when i saw this video i was shocked for a second, i thought i made a bad choice, saw the price, saw the benchmarks and now i'm glad i got the 470.
jan409 hey bro i also have bought rx 470 and i can't waited for the 1050ti but yeah i think rx 470 it's better
I would buy RX 470 if it wasn't over 200 euro here :S
***** mine was 198€ tax already included.
Rx 470 you will have a 60+ fps in battlefield 1 ultra even better than the 1060.
Food

EVERY NUTRIMENT .DEAL WITH IT
TO MUCH FOOD
Koolaid
I'm playing Red dead redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 with the GTX 1050 Ti and it's still a beast.
I don't think some people don't understand the appeal of this card. Sure the performance isn't mind blowing. But it's not just about the performance. It's the fact that this is the best card money can buy that doesn't require additional power. It's small, runs whisper quiet, doesn't get hot.
There's something beautiful about the fact that I simply dropped this card into the PCI-E slot of my parents' old Phenom II x4 965 BE + 8gb DDR2 pre-built PC from like 2009 that came with an OEM 400w PSU with no 6-pin cable, and it works! This old beast has been revitalized and can run new games in 1080p at medium-to-ultra settings at respectable FPS.
You think most people who buy pre-builts want to worry about swapping out power supplies, managing cables, and shit like that? Of course not. Not to mention a decent PSU will run you an extra $50+. The GTX 1050 Ti is a card that says "fuck all that bullshit". Anyone with a brain can install it in 30 minutes or less, and pretty much any PC with a PCI-E slot can work with it.
Seriously Jay, even I can put my bias aside when we're discussing the lower end, and then you go out a compare it to a 460, without even showing a 470 in your benchmarks, everybody knows that the 50 series is usually a direct competitor to the 70 series and the 60 series is supposed to go one step lower than nvidia, this is how it has been for countless generations. The 470 can be bought for only $15-$30 more than most 1050 TIs but with up to 50%+ more performance. Make no mistake, this video was made with exclusive intent to make AMD look bad, when in reality their tier of card for only slightly more with a descending price vastly outperforms nvidia's offering. This leaves me with only one question, Exactly how much Nvidia corp stock do you own jay.
10 extra bucks and you get a 470
there is literally no reason to get this thing...
Robert Hollar I got thev460
There is more than enough reason to buy this thing.
intigrated graphics are close to this thing these days...
Robert Hollar well someone is completely stupid.
Robert Hollar sorry (ignorant)
Seriously, thank you for showing the budget cards of the new series. Its really fun to see the super cards work their magic but these type of videos are awesome too
LOL at "he's flat-lining... I'll see you in the next video". Made me laugh Jay haha.
Can you run in SLI???
dartbull24 Don't think so.
dartbull24 you can't
only 1070 and 1080 can run in sli
Why on earth would you want to do this??
theFrizzleFry question is why not?
rx 470 30% faster for 40$ yeah
no its 30% and not in 1 game only..there a lot of games
like bf1 gta v overwatch crysis 3 metro last light rise of.tomb.raider doom and more
Critical Hit you might as well get a rx480 if you start looking at 1060
***** 3gb vram isnt enough and it also has lower performance than 6gb..rx 470 is the sweet card for 1080p/60fps with the best $/performance in the market..gtx 1050ti is a no sense gpu in the market atm
$40 is also the allotted budget for eating in a given month for some.
team green pay better than AMD thats for sure.
mike corn not really. Please do
More research buddy. I'm team yellow btw.
I am team what fits my needs, tho i know jay is not really team green some how i think Team green gives more free stuff so its not fair we al know green is faster but its al depending on needs.
I love jay and his show but the last time its all team green, 5 shows make the same video in de same hour thats planned so it's biased i think.
mike corn yea it is. Btw team yellow is green and red combined. So I like both. But the 460 is a crazy deal. It's cheaper then the 750 ti now, finally, and it performed better. The issue is Nvidia is always marking a better card but also more expensive. I don't get it.
Awesome video, I own HP elite 8200 sff with i5-2400 / evga sc 16gb ram / Crucial mx300 ss hd & msi 1050 ti low profile. When i purchased this gpu @ X-mas ( decided to upgrade ) turned my old pc into mini gaming beast ! All my new games set to high & Anistropic filtering @. x16 ...... Thanx 4 posting
perfect for a budget build. surprising specs as well! thanks for the review! might have to snag this one up
Would this graphics card fit into the $550 build that he did a couple of weeks ago?
Formalite this is like smallest card on market so yea it will fit
Formalite The 470 is much better for $30 more.
Formalite and 480 (≈200$) but we cant just keep spending more and more
you mean will it physically fit in the system? or will it stay within that $550 budget?
Christian Perez I mean as if it will still work with the system, i dont really care about the budget
buckrape
You should not get the 1050, the 460X is better and just cost 10$ more.
Ok But the 1050 Ti just cost 10$ more too and is muchhh better than the 460X.
Sureee but the 4GB 470X is only 10$ more and it destroys the 1050 Ti !!!!!
See where I'm going with this ?!!
When you think about it, the cheapest card is the 1050 and it cost 110$ but the new msrp of the 4GB 470x is 150$. So basically, for only 40$ more you get so MUCH more performance, it's ridiculous. Personally, I wouldn't buy the 1050/1050 ti/460x, the price/performance is not there. I guess there's a niche market for people with pre-built Dell/Acer/HP which tend to have really shitty PSU.
MSRP isn't done well in 97% of all countries. rx 470 4gb is at least 45 bucks more expensive than a gtx 1050 ti 4gb.
Give it some time, they just dropped the msrp on the 470x... it was like yesterday. Etailer usually don't drop their price immediately, especially if the card still sell well at a higher price.
Benoit Levesque holy shit ur stupid "460X...470X" its called RX460 and RX470
Benoit Levesque I'm getting a Asus k31cd i7-7700 16ram 2tb it has a Radeon HD630
Which graphics card should I replace it with?
Benoit Levesque lol wth is 460x and 470x =))))))
Hey Jay, here's an idea, I've always bought cheap motherboards (AAA brands) because I feel apart from maybe extra usb ports and such, there's no real benefit when it comes to gaming. I'd be interested to see a comparison between really expensive motherboards and cheap ones, if it makes any difference in fps, loading times, stability, etc.
Jay, this card has the same performance as an HD 7970 from five years ago. It has much lower power usage but that doesn't really strike me as anything that I would refer to as "Beast Mode" considering that I just took two HD 7970s out of my rig and replaced them with an R9 Fury only because I want to game at 4K with my new display and 3GB of GDDR5 won't cut it (and neither would 4GB of GDDR5).
You're making an absurd comparison, how can you even mention an R9 Fury when this video is about a budget video card? You just missed the entire point of this video. It's obvious it won't hold a candle to high end GPU, and this is aimed at budget gamers who might not want to buy a big power supply.
get the rx 470 its a bit more expncive but it is waaaaaay better
aint like that in macedonia the price of an rx 470 is about 300 usd where i live
macedonia is bulgaria
dont mix politics with graphics cards greece is yunistan blugaria is tatarstan
WarCry of Macedon im really bad at history. This is what our teacher said :)
guys dont mix tech with politics and history enjoy the video :D there are other videos to discus the issue
rx 470 here just 20$ more and its muuuch better
AtgreatR9 sadly here its 50 euros more:(
Exactly, in Europe it's A LOT MORE expensive than the 1050 Ti, SAD!
stop bullshit dude. You can get 480 for another $30 more and so on.... The 1050 Ti is best in it's price category.
Yanko Bzykant for me it cost 366 €
AtgreatR9 in europe it cost 365€
Thanks Jay. I actually just bought a 1050 ti ssc around a week ago. after watching this and seeing it's performance, I wanted to get it, as it was a good price for me and it was performance I wanted.
cool video. I was about to buy a 1060, but then noticed one of these for around 130$. Now a super tough choice to be made. I personally don't mind playing on medium / high mixture of settings at 1080p. The main thing is that I want a solid 60+fps. It's tempting to buy one of these for almost half a 1060. Even if it only last 1 year before something more powerful is needed then it would still be worth it.
Jay, I'm trusting you on this card. I'm building a budget system based on a used i7 3770 and I want to get it up and running asap. Love your videos (you're my favourite tech youtuber, yes even over Marques).
+Jayztwocents @Jayztwocents
Would you consider making a short series covering computer components such as Ram, GPU, cpu, etc etc. I enjoy watching your videos, and feel that you would explain things such as cuda cores boost clocks and whatnot for beginners to understand. Even if it's like a 20 video playlist, it would be pretty cool, and give you a bigger breath in the computer community. Not to mention you already have videos like water-cooling for beginners which would fit perfectly into that playlist
The 1050ti is very nice, even still.
Perfect for 1080p gaming, though I will be moving on to 2k resolution gaming soon.
I play gta v at 1080p with high to ultra settings and get around 80 fps average. It does peak at around 110 occasionally.
I do want to game at a higher refresh rate, with a new monitor delivering soon with 144hz. I also want to game at 2560x1440p rather than 1920x1080.
The 1050ti will unfortunately not be able to preform anywhere close to 144 fps with the resolution and settings, so evidently NVIDIA sticks to their word when they say that the 1050ti is the key to 1080p gaming. I will be updating to a 1080ti in time! I just do not have the funds unfortunately..
Keep up the great videos Jayz, you were the one to inspire me to get into computer tech and gaming.
1080p is 2k
Ty jay for the review really good job,also could u check the evga gtx1050 ti ftw the one with the 6-pin power connector when it is available? i would really love to see u overclocking the gpu to its limits.Really nice job again with the review and thank u for giving me the information i needed to choose a suitable gpu for my system and my pocket.
Hey Jay, thanks for the review man! Could you also make another short video comparing it to GTX 750Ti, GTX 950, GTX 960, RX 470 and/or GTX 1060? The first three are similarly priced and the last two could be there just for comparison. *fingers crossed*
Man I bought epic battle sim and put it on the LOWEST settings possible. It was so bad you couldn’t even read the text and my laptop still couldn’t play it lolSo after checking out your channel I’m going to build a desktop. Need it mostly for work but I’m going for a build that can actually run the 3 or 4 games I like. Thanks for the videos man probably my favorite channel on PC’s so far
I have a GTX 570 atm and just ordered the GTX 1050Ti did i make a good purchase?
@JayTwoCents, great videos! Please when you use graphs please keep the order of the GPU/CPU etc the same thoughout your graphs slideshow. It makes keeping track of them easier!
I bought a 1050Ti OC, a 2 fan model (I'm a retro pc gamer). Overclocked to 1911mhz stable.
I like how things evolve. 1080p gaming is getting cheaper, and modern games even look good on the lowest settings, for example BF1 or Battlefront, Tomb Raider, Overwatch, Whitcher 3 and even No Man's Sky. If you want to spend thousands of $$$, you can do that but even a low budget PC can hande all the modern games without huge drops in graphical quality.
Effing love u Jay, the way u deliver the info, the explain stuff and such, just awesome stuff, keep doing ur thing my man.
I currently have a GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB ZT-70601-10M in my computer. My board is a gigabyte 970-gaming sli and I have a fx8350 cpu running 16 gigs of ram. I don't use my computer for that much gaming. Usually just for video editing, recording xbox one with the elgato hd60 and streaming using xsplit at 720p60. I can actually record at 1080p60 and stream at 720p60 with xsplit broadcaster at the same time right now but it really makes this setup work. Just curious if the 1050Ti would give me any performance boost.
Jay, thank you for this video! I love Bang-for-Your_Buck videos! I am looking at building a new computer after 10 years of using the same one, and these videos are helping me choose what to use!
You should start doing video editing performance tests. This card will be in many lightweight laptops that will be used for task like that instead of gaming .
now that the price dropped on the Rx 460 , I'd like to see a comparison between the 950, 960 2gb, 960 4gb, 1050 2gb, Rx 460, 1050ti 4gb, Rx 470, 1060 3gb, and 1060 6gb... it would be interesting how they stack up at 1080 and if its a worthy upgrade from the 950/960...
Greetings from Malaysia, Jay... great video on the 1050 which is the still very much affordable than the 1060.
My gaming itch has started again and I'm thinking of building my entry level gaming PC after a very very long time. Which is the best 8th gen Intel CPUs (the 8100 or 8400) for this GPU? aka avoiding those nasty micro stutters.
Hey Jayz,
love your videos btw.
How "noisy" is the card in idle? Do the fans spin or does it run in zero fan mode ?
If the fans spin, how loud is it ?
Sorry for some bad gramma =)
Jay, would you recommend this card to someone over an older card that is faster & cheaper (at this point in time), if that person has an ample PSU?
Say something like a R9 380X or a GTX 770 / 960 etc?
Thanks for the info Jay!
Would you make a video on VR gaming? specially using such budget VR Ready cards. Is one enough? Will 2 way SLI do any good? Specially compared to a single 1060 for example.
thx for the betchmark was looking for one with world of warcraft test, now im so happy can get this gpu for gaming
Good card for my backup PC, its has an older I7 processor, this card would soup it up enough for newer games... pretty nice.
I've been considering getting the 1050ti to replace my 750ti since I ran across it while looking at the 10 series stuff. Still aiming for the 6gb 1060 at the most. But after this video, I'll be watching the 1050ti more closely.
Jay thanks for the benchmarks. prices in Greece are 118 for 460 and 180 for palit 1050ti. No msi yet.
Last part of the video made me chuckle. Thanks for the laugh Jay
I can't wait to build my PC, watching reviews for all the parts i'm gonna get is driving me crazy
Cool Jay. Although if you want to test the card with world of warcraft then try to go to a more detailed environment. Like Gorgrond (Draenor) or Azsuna (The broken isles). You can really feal the difference. Even I can with an fx-8350, 16 gigs of ram and a 4gb 290 OC...
Jay you should do a video on first programs you should install with a new gaming pc, i think it would be a great topic for a video. ( stress testers, overclocking software, and anything else you think should be included)
I was so happy when jay showed world of warcraft, new respect for you jay.
So happy, getting this for christmas, my first pc and getting a top 1080p card
dude, this helps out alot, gota a friend who wants me to build him an all rounder rig, mainly for flight simulation and his budget is around 600, 1050 ti seems like a solid setup for the price and wattage value.
I own this card.Mine is by Zotac......this thing is a little beast.....thanx for featuring this card in a video
