Did you say the same for the RX 460? The thing is, *all* cards released cost less than $100 to manufacture. We just got used to being charged so much for cards that you take it for granted. The reason they need to charge more is the R&D costs for a new architecture (which all tier cards of a generation uses), and they allocate that cost disproportionally to different tiers. Material cost probably won't hit $100 for a GTX 1080 either, but ofc they must recover the R&D costs somewhere, and trivial to say they will do that more on the enthusiast level. If they had nothing but the 1050 for the new architecture, they couldn't sell it for $100.
GaborBartal one reason why the higher performing cards are more expensive is also that they are simply harder to manufacture. When creating the gpu chip from the waver there are always impurities, which lead to parts of the chip being disabled. Too many impurities and the chip simply won't qualify for e.g. a gtx 1080 and can't be used in that card. Because a high performing card normally has a bigger die size, there will also automatically be more inpurities on the chip, which makes it more likely for a chip not being able to be used for the top tier card. And smaller manufacturing processes like 14nm compared to 28nm make it even harder to keep inpurities at a minimum.
im buying this card because its cheap its pretty powerful based on what i heard aannnddd *you dont have to fucking plug it in to your power supply anymore*
"ok" is meaningless statement. It's actually great for what it is, that is as a price/perf point of view. Saying "ok" means nothing. Given that, the Titan X could be said "not ok" as it doesn't give you 10x more FPS (while costing 10x more).
only real price is problem because rx 460 you can get for bellow 100$ while cheapest 1050 are 131+$ and fps differents are 10-20% + - depend what game or is it dx11/12
Kmart shoppers are triggered. Lol this video is so passive aggressive, I like it. The card will absolutely get up you and running for pc gaming. Not just budget gamers but teens with strict parents. There the ones who always yell at folks to buy used. That's really the target market for the 1050. It works.
I know growing up that there was a TON of other teenagers that couldn't scrounge up enough dough to get a decent GPU, as most of the entry level ones were garbage at the time. A lot of families have somewhat decent machines, just with no dedicated GPU - the GTX 1050 really leaves no excuse on why some people would get a console over this card. -Hutch
Sniper Tank they likely paired it with a cpu that would in no reasonable way bottleneck it....so probably a skylake i5 or i7. If so, expect slightly lower frames on older, more real world CPUs, but not much more than maybe 10 or so fps. Considering every game they showed were well above 30, that's still not bad, even if you're using an older Sandy Bridge (intel) or excavator (AMD) based CPUs. This card will still be a great way to turn that cheapo best buy workstation pc with an i5-4400 into a decent gaming rig. That said. I do wish they listed the specs.
but target could be broken because nobody cant see or find the store where 1050 costs 100$ !! that card like 1050ti could be big mistakes if Nvidia or stores dont droop prices
A 38% difference in price is significant. But if you're use to buying things with the Canadian dollar (and don't look at US prices) its just the norm I suppose. Everything in Canada is more expensive than in the states (except healthcare) so its more of a forget and forgive thing I guess. Would I rather pay 38% more for a new graphics card or walk into any medi-clinic for (virtually) free healthcare. lol.
diablomix No, you do not understand. In some countries, the prices and currency are so inflated, $1,000,000 could only buy you a coffee. So in some countries if a person earns a million it might seem a lot but it's worth less then over here.
It probably hurts the asshole elitists, but this is an _excellent_ showcase of the sheer amount of overkill in modern high-end graphics cards. For the majority of people that game on PC, this card would be more than reasonable for the sheer sake of playing a game smoothly with those good-ass pc graffixxx people like to talk about all the time; especially at $100. Only time I ever purchased a card new was a PNY GTX 650, and that little buddy was $130 four years ago. With the price of reasonable components, there's no excuse money-wise for somebody to not game on PC when faced with buying consoles. That's all considering they're dolts that buy shit new, though. Used prices are plummeting on everything except for Intel chips. Otherwise you can get 16-32gigs of ram (ddr3/4) for around $100; and the GTX 780 has taken a recent plummet, too. Just picked up an MSI Lightning 780 for 150 shipped. That, mixed with the 4th gen i7 (most expensive component @ $165) quad core/hyper threaded chip means I'm gaming comfortably for the next couple years easy with an all-in price of maybe 400-500 for EVERYTHING (case, components, monitors, mechanical keyboard, mouse, blah blah). Fuck bragging about new shit. The more you spend on a setup, the dumber it is concerning steep depreciation vs negligible benefits of staying ahead of the curve. It's certainly nice, but far from necessary for good results. Sorry, I'm slurpin' on 100 proof vodka and just super psyched about PC shit right now. My bad, y'all :3
ZabaZu You're right, of course. I'm "swimming in their wake", so to speak. But that's just how things work: there are ALWAYS those that buy for the sheer sake of being at that leading edge, and that is far from a smart thing to do for any number of reasons. Depreciation primarily, but the cost of early adoption often result in faults in hardware/software, defects, and downright failure of the product itself. But the value for those people is the personal satisfaction of being at the forefront. I'm not meaning to be as negative as my exuberant stupor may seem to exclaim. My use of "dolt" is more-so on the mentality of NEEEEEEDING to have the newest shit NOW. I mean, I don't mean to be _personally_ negative against them as individuals. The dude I bought the N780 off of is pretty cool :)
***** What's your point aside from being half right about what I am? When people only care about being realistic and non-committal with price vs. performance, shit like TDP/consumption and "used" don't always matter. It's not being misinforming, it's not being dedicated enough to really care. If it was the "best" just a couple years ago, why wouldn't it be valid now? I mean, aside from TEE-DEE-PEE and having been in somebody else's case prior to yours?
Buying used it pretty nice at times, i just Ordered a EVGA 1070 FTW for $384 used through Amazon warehouse deals $56 less than buying new and some Gigabyte versions are going for $100 less than buying new (about $340). So excited, upgrading from a GTX 570 2.5GB Normally id be wary of buying used expensive parts, but Amazon always does good on their returns if theres an issue.
***** Dude, stop deleting your comments haha. I'm getting all of them via email, anyway. Who in the hell is mentioning anything about OEM with low power PSUs? You're just saying "TDP" a lot and making presumptions like an ass while failing to vilify me for drinking; which, by the way, I'm able to out-grammar you in all that I've said hahaha. You said "no comment" and should have stuck with that, Mr. Butt (good name, honestly)
This card seems to be a decent upgrade compared to my EVGA GTX 650 and that card only had 1GB of ram. Ram speed was less then half the speed and half the CUDA cores. The base/boost clock speeds are only 200-400MHZ slower then the 1050 though. But I paid $120+ for that card at the time and takes up twice the space. The 1050 being on latest gen tech and not needing a PCI-E Power connector (my older GTX 650 requires one unlike this one) means that this should be the next card I'll upgrade to. While some of the specs aren't a big jump, double the ram and the ram being twice as fast and the card being half the size and more power efficient means it should be worth it for me. :P I can't afford anything beyond $120 or so for a video card, so this card seems like the best choice for me when I want to get around to modernizing my video card again. I've had my 650 for 2+ years I think. It's time I replace it. :P My machine is on a first generation i7 though. (Asus P6T motherboard) A i7 quad core 965 3.2 ghz CPU. It can do overclocking but never felt a need to do that so it's on it's normal clock. Plus being first generation, it's not power efficient and will heat up significantly if I try to overclock it. So I won't. :P The PCI-E 16x slots are PCI-E 2.0 I think. So I'm wondering how much further I can push things before I saturate the slot and further upgrades become useless. Will the 1050 saturate this old slot or is there still a future upgrade beyond that? It's unbelievable how much life I got out of this machine. I did replace the mobo once (with same exact model) as a couple USB ports died and I fried the rear audio port. :P) But the ram/CPU I've had since like 2011-2012. Been so long I don't recall. It's aged much better then the older generation machines like my mother's 3ghz P4. That dinosaur manages to run Windows 10 but even on a SSD that thing is slow. :P My machine outlived my ***king SSD. My OCZ Octane 1 died recently (BIOS hangs trying to detect it and gives up after a minute) and I had that SSD for a year to a year and half max. :( Even though the SSD died I had a 4 month old backup. So techinically I haven't reinstalled Windows 7 on this machine since 2012. There might have been a older Win7 install that predates this (it's still on my spare platter drive) but that one didn't last long. I had WinXP 64bit on this machine at first when I first build it. Of coarse I have since updated to Win7. Have no plans on ever using Windows 10. My mother uses that OS, but I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. The data collection policies + the terrible UI design means Win7 will probably be the last Windows OS I'll ever use. I'll probably migrate to Linux or die of old age with this machine still running Windows 7. :P Well in any case, on medium settings GTA 5 runs reasonably well at 1080p (only recently got a full 1080p monitor. Had a 1680x1050 monitor for the longest time). Dolphin emulator runs games fine on this setup too. A 1050 may speed things up even better. :D
We thought long and hard about this - what does a benchmark prove when comparing to something like a GTX 1080? It is just a given - it's going to underperform when compared to all its bigger brothers. Chances are if you're in the market for a GPU and you're stuck with a budget under $150 - the benchmark like that is just going to be a waste of your time. If you're in the market for a card like this, you're going to want to know one thing and one thing only - will it game? And we hope our video answered that. -Hutch
+Tek Syndicate Wow... so comparing with other NVidia cards is the only option? Are you serious? If that doesn't reek *bias*, nothing does. How about a 460 for the same price? THAT is what this benchmark should have been. You either don't know what benchmarking aims at (aiding people to have informed decisions) or are simply biased. Either way you don't deserve 1 subscriber, let alone 500k.
GaborBartal But they didn't do that. They showed you what you can play with the card. There are probably 100000x videos already of benchmarks or just goddam google it. This video is good because it fills the void and shows you what the experience you get with it.
+Sol Dios The "just goddamn google it" response is silly, it's not about me but about everyone who finds this video with only a $100 ready. Yeah a showcase of a card would be "ok" if it wasn't a benchmark channel and his response wasn't about NVidia only - reading that made me flabbergasted.... (not mentioning its direct competitor and rather bring up how pointless it would be to compare against the... 10xx series!? How about the 460 ffs?). Something an amateur would say who only knows NVidia.
+Ezra Ball go with the 1050 ti over the 460, the RX 4XX (480, 470, 460, etc) series has been having a lot of issues lately, at least wait till they fix them if you absolutely must buy it.
Bunch of drama, Qain and Wendell gone, people pulled their Patreon donations over all of it and Logan said he'd explain but now there are supposedly lawyers involved so he probably can't say anything.
I would say if you could afford it, the GTX 1060 is still the sweet spot king. But if you're on integrated or you're on some older entry level card... This is a pretty "casual" upgrade that will surpise many. -Hutch
Yes, the 1050ti allows you to play big titles or modded titles but 1060 packs over 50% more performance than that which can be felt. It's basically comparing 950/960 to 980 in terms of performance equivalents of last generation. Hell, even the RX 470 4gb version is a better pick than these.
Basically get a GTX 1070 if you can, thats bang for buck too and high end gaming, beast mode. But, get gtx 1050, 1050 ti, or 1060. According to your MONEY!
Exactly. Brand new powerful card for straight-to-the-point 1080p gaming and we're making click bait video titles about whether it can game properly? This channel is getting a little too idiotic for my taste.
I haven't been keeping track of the drama so the dislike bar and comments took me by surprise. I'd just like to say Tek Syndicate was one of the main reasons I even decided to build my PC, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Sad to see this go down like this.
Would a ryzen 1700 or 7700k be fine with using this? (No sarcasm, just asking if it's fine or if I should get something more powerful.) I don't game much, but I want to be able to play games at high framerates and resolutions when I do play them, as well as power 4k panels for productivity.
The indie games aren't inferior, they just aren't as demanding. They put more into story and character than the AAA titles as opposed to the AAA titles pouring tons of cash into making you pour tons of cash into a rig specced enough to run the game at decent fps. To quote Einstein, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. The question I have for you at this point of our journey together is, What is your genius?”
I see New Egg has the Sapphire Nitro Fury Tri-X on sale for $260 down from $380. Is it worth going for over an equivalently priced 8gb RX480? Even though it doesn't support stuff like WattMan and what not. Power savings isn't really a big deal to me, I just want high performance that'll last for a bit. I figured since I have two 1080p monitors that I would have the ability to upgrade my monitors in the future and still get good performance out of it. Though I need to make up my mind soon since the sale ends Saturday. :)
As a student gamer, I don't have tonnes of money to throw at my hobby... I finally got ahold of this lil cutie - the 4GB version - and it honestly is the best GPU for strict budgets 👌
Murcx002 New name. Finally this shit got resolved. Wendell took over the other channels and renamed them too. Also, they can call it lollipop tech for all I care, just want the crap over.
Go Team Logan! Go Go Go!! We all make mistakes... Logan may have made some, he never said he was perfect, he might have acted without considering the full consequences, but he is just a human like you... Wendell was just a fill up character...(anime ref. lolz) i'm sorry he was good but... Logan is the core, i will miss the duo, but...decisions were made, lets support both, i'm sure that Wendell will open another channel, now we will have more content, so in the end its a good thing, Logan will have to come up with new ways to keep us watching, he will learn and read more about stuff, he will be forced to learn a little bit about the science aspect of things, ect... Just give him the chance to make " The Tek " Great again! I've been watching since TigerTv I'm not a forum member... If Logan reads this, i can die in peace now.. *- don't take anything too seriously -* Life is very short, just do whatever makes you happy, there's no need to live up to somebody else expectations...
Can't imagine that Pascal even makes that much of a difference in the low budget sector. Then again, my old ass 2007 rig that still is in use at my parents house needs a replacement for its now long dead GTX260 so maybe this is something to look for?
Hey,Just wanted to ask if this graphic card perform's well with core i5 and 4gb ram.How much average fps can you get on games like gta 5 or black ops 3???
Ohhh man! This video brings back memories of Tiger Direct xD! I remember the first graphics card videos I watched were on UA-cam with Logan and look where I am again xD
I bought this card.. It is awesome... Playing almost every game at 60 fps at 1080p..I am surprised to see that it doesn't require additional power supply.. Great card available for the rate...
I play World of Tanks and upgraded from a 2010 era Nvidea GTS 450 to this GTX 1050 mini and I went from low graphics settings with 30 fps to max settings with 60 fps. It is a great budget card to slap in a 7 year old Dell XPS Core 2 quad to give it some more life for newer games. It runs quieter than the old vid card and uses less power. The old card needed a power cable but this new card does not. It gets power directly through the slot. I had a choice to buy this 2 gb mini version or the 4 gb version but the 4 gb version was around 25 dollars more. My computer is a bit old so I figured the 2 gb version would do fine for me and give me a few more years of gaming from my rig. Next upgrade will probably be a completely new pc anyways.
Pretty killer GPU for the price and size, I think I'll get one when I eventually relegate my Xeon X5675 (6 core, 12 threads at 4.2ghz currently), 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum Ram at 1860mhz, and ASUS Rampage Gene II into a Micro ATX case (likely Betfenix Prodigy M because of the handles) for portability.
I game on a GT 640 and for a time before that, i was using an APU, YES, you can game on ANYTHING. this is a very good upgrade though, affordable for more than playable graphics and fps
Once again I got to say I love your videos. Funny that you had a GTA V benchmark in this video as I made the sad mistake of getting this game for PS3 for $10 and I am having all sorts of issues with it but it looks like it may be the disc I have. It still could be the way that it was printed though as people had trouble with the Xbox 360 disc so yeah. Anyway back to the video card ..... No need for a 6 pin power connector and getting FPS like you were saying in 1080p? Uh this card is the dream card for my son's stepmom who wants to play WOW again. I just hope that the card will be priced nicely in Canada. I also wish our dollar would recover so that it would be guaranteed to be priced nicely. Thanks so much for this review .. funny, informative and the best damn thing that has happened to me all night sadly. Well not sad anymore. More videos please!
i'm interested in buying a 1050, right now i'm playing without gpu only a core i7 which runs most games even witcher 3 but i would like to increase the graphic quality a little. i'm looking for a fanless version of it as i run my pc without any fans. is there one out yet?
so because it draws power from the motherboard you wont need a neew psu to run with it? as i have a 300w psu will that be okey with that graphics card?
Please can someone explain to me why there are so many different version of a gtx 1050 (and video cards in general). For example Gigabyte, zotac, palit, asus, evga and msi all sell a 'gtx 1050'. What is the difference? Will they all work in the same build? Which one performs best? Which one is cheapest? How can they all be the same card but made by different companies? Which one should I buy for an i3 6100, Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H, 8gb ram build? Any help is appreciated.
"Can you game on a graphics card?"
No way, dude. Not possible. I don't believe that shit for a second.

If they had nothing but the 1050 for the new architecture, they couldn't sell it for $100.
And if you bought rice by the ton it would cost almost nothing.

Yes true, yield is a big problem as well, but that's just it, it doesn't affect this card as much as it affects higher-sized chips

I can't afford anything beyond $120 or so for a video card, so this card seems like the best choice for me when I want to get around to modernizing my video card again. I've had my 650 for 2+ years I think. It's time I replace it. :P
My machine is on a first generation i7 though. (Asus P6T motherboard) A i7 quad core 965 3.2 ghz CPU. It can do overclocking but never felt a need to do that so it's on it's normal clock. Plus being first generation, it's not power efficient and will heat up significantly if I try to overclock it. So I won't. :P
The PCI-E 16x slots are PCI-E 2.0 I think. So I'm wondering how much further I can push things before I saturate the slot and further upgrades become useless. Will the 1050 saturate this old slot or is there still a future upgrade beyond that?
It's unbelievable how much life I got out of this machine. I did replace the mobo once (with same exact model) as a couple USB ports died and I fried the rear audio port. :P) But the ram/CPU I've had since like 2011-2012. Been so long I don't recall. It's aged much better then the older generation machines like my mother's 3ghz P4. That dinosaur manages to run Windows 10 but even on a SSD that thing is slow. :P
My machine outlived my ***king SSD. My OCZ Octane 1 died recently (BIOS hangs trying to detect it and gives up after a minute) and I had that SSD for a year to a year and half max. :(
Even though the SSD died I had a 4 month old backup. So techinically I haven't reinstalled Windows 7 on this machine since 2012. There might have been a older Win7 install that predates this (it's still on my spare platter drive) but that one didn't last long. I had WinXP 64bit on this machine at first when I first build it. Of coarse I have since updated to Win7. Have no plans on ever using Windows 10. My mother uses that OS, but I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. The data collection policies + the terrible UI design means Win7 will probably be the last Windows OS I'll ever use. I'll probably migrate to Linux or die of old age with this machine still running Windows 7. :P
Well in any case, on medium settings GTA 5 runs reasonably well at 1080p (only recently got a full 1080p monitor. Had a 1680x1050 monitor for the longest time). Dolphin emulator runs games fine on this setup too. A 1050 may speed things up even better. :D
*New name 'Crit TV' (the old Tek Syndicate is gone)*
Leari Tee
Yup gone. Nobody would touch that name with a 10 foot pole after how tarnished it is. Time to move on.

Hey, now it's back again
Great segment this is better than a benchmark for this kind of card.
How so? If anything, a benchmark would make you even more informed.
We thought long and hard about this - what does a benchmark prove when comparing to something like a GTX 1080? It is just a given - it's going to underperform when compared to all its bigger brothers. Chances are if you're in the market for a GPU and you're stuck with a budget under $150 - the benchmark like that is just going to be a waste of your time. If you're in the market for a card like this, you're going to want to know one thing and one thing only - will it game? And we hope our video answered that. -Hutch
+Tek Syndicate
Wow... so comparing with other NVidia cards is the only option? Are you serious? If that doesn't reek *bias*, nothing does.
How about a 460 for the same price? THAT is what this benchmark should have been.
You either don't know what benchmarking aims at (aiding people to have informed decisions) or are simply biased. Either way you don't deserve 1 subscriber, let alone 500k.
GaborBartal But they didn't do that. They showed you what you can play with the card.
There are probably 100000x videos already of benchmarks or just goddam google it.
This video is good because it fills the void and shows you what the experience you get with it.
+Sol Dios
The "just goddamn google it" response is silly, it's not about me but about everyone who finds this video with only a $100 ready.
Yeah a showcase of a card would be "ok" if it wasn't a benchmark channel and his response wasn't about NVidia only - reading that made me flabbergasted.... (not mentioning its direct competitor and rather bring up how pointless it would be to compare against the... 10xx series!? How about the 460 ffs?). Something an amateur would say who only knows NVidia.
I " game " with an old GTX 650 Ti ..so I think you can pretty much ..game on an 1050
I'm still rocking my 750Ti. Considering selling it though and upgrading to a 1050
I know the 1050Ti would have better price to performance but my budget is incredibly limited
Alright, will do. Though I may just pick up an RX 460
The DX11 performance is kind of lacking but it definitely excels at DX12
+Ezra Ball go with the 1050 ti over the 460, the RX 4XX (480, 470, 460, etc) series has been having a lot of issues lately, at least wait till they fix them if you absolutely must buy it.
Still getting massive amounts of dislikes, I don't know the story can someone say why?
Bunch of drama, Qain and Wendell gone, people pulled their Patreon donations over all of it and Logan said he'd explain but now there are supposedly lawyers involved so he probably can't say anything.
Do u shop at kmart
LOL. I can't anymore. They closed the K-Mart where I live 3 years ago. It was pretty crappy anyways. Dirty.
That's all K-Marts tbh. Poor Man's Target.
Kmart, Target, Walmart, etc. All poor people stores.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Target is overpriced Walmart with a sightlier crowd and cleaner atmosphere.
Munishin and they treat their employees better
1060 is still best value tho right?
I would say if you could afford it, the GTX 1060 is still the sweet spot king. But if you're on integrated or you're on some older entry level card... This is a pretty "casual" upgrade that will surpise many. -Hutch
Yes, the 1050ti allows you to play big titles or modded titles but 1060 packs over 50% more performance than that which can be felt. It's basically comparing 950/960 to 980 in terms of performance equivalents of last generation. Hell, even the RX 470 4gb version is a better pick than these.
3gb is best fps/dollar
Tek Syndicate rx 480?
Basically get a GTX 1070 if you can, thats bang for buck too and high end gaming, beast mode.
But, get gtx 1050, 1050 ti, or 1060. According to your MONEY!
Are people really disliking for the ad? Jesus. Man's gotta make money.
Who saw Wendell on the T-Shirt in the march store?
Crazy that this little card can outperform my crusty old GTX760 with no external power. Damn you Moore and your law.
Video starts at 1:31
Who would have guessed that those budget builds they were helping everyone build would have lasted longer than the channel itself?
"Yes this Pascal card that was released like a week ago can play games."
What was the point of this video?
we must know if it can run games, so he made a video to tell us that it can run a game. i think he runs games as shown in the video.
Exactly. Brand new powerful card for straight-to-the-point 1080p gaming and we're making click bait video titles about whether it can game properly? This channel is getting a little too idiotic for my taste.
Better run off to another one, then.
RetroPretzel who's the girl in your profile picture?
Channel Undefined
Launch from Dragonball.
Wow 1:30 min of extra advertisement in your video. What a nice start to meet a new youtube channel
I hate that vram limitation on every card - like in 2016 it's "cards right" to have at least 8 gigs of vram.
You don't need 8gb for 1080p, which a lot of these cards still excel at.
4GB Should be the new unofficial minimum, I have a GTX 460 in one of my PCs and that POS has 2GB lol.
John Sanders The 2gb in that isn't the issue, it's that it's a 460, 2gb is fine for lower end 1080p gaming
Kuldar Leement They do that so more people buy the more expensive ones.
3-4 gb, definitely not more
i game on gtx 950 - 1080p forever
i use a gtx 560 ti every game at 1080 medium
950 pride!
950 BITCHEZZ
You should really make a video addressing what happened or else all these people will keep downvoting your videos... not much to lose at this point.
what happened?
I'd like to know what happened as well
yeah everyone would, I would at least give Logan and the new channel a chance if this happened
I disliked because the sponsor went on for way too long
Yes I got one, I am impressed, it and 8GB RAM made my poor old PC be able to play a lot of recent games....:-)
The Squarespace ads are getting old. Can you make them a bit shorter?
I liked this video. It's about Tech, it's more what your channel was about. No fuss, just tek. Good direction.
video starts at 1:30
I thought watching the whole ad was boring.turns out he'll explain things most of us already know. lmao.
what's with the salt in the comments and ratings? I'm genuinely confused.
darkevilmac idek
This little card is a beast. 4GB model is probably even better. I'm so happy that PC gaming is being more and more affordable.
When the first minute and a half is an ad...........
smh
Great to see a review of a low end card! My 14 year old self would have loved this.
No Comments?, a lot of dislikes? whats going?
it's the year of hate trend
I haven't been keeping track of the drama so the dislike bar and comments took me by surprise. I'd just like to say Tek Syndicate was one of the main reasons I even decided to build my PC, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Sad to see this go down like this.
ADIOS LOGAN
finally somebody who recognizes that fallout 4 exists as a mod platform, and it should be taken into consideration.
where is Wendell?
: |
There's a bunch of drama going on this is Wendell's side www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sp25er
thanks, hopefully it works out for all involved
***** this is also more recent forum.teksyndicate.com/t/whats-going-on-read-here/106421
Would a ryzen 1700 or 7700k be fine with using this? (No sarcasm, just asking if it's fine or if I should get something more powerful.) I don't game much, but I want to be able to play games at high framerates and resolutions when I do play them, as well as power 4k panels for productivity.
Answer... Yes.
First 20 seconds, funny intro, then a full one minute and ten damn seconds of square space.
Hmm your channel name changed. What happened to Syndicate?
DED
kek
The indie games aren't inferior, they just aren't as demanding. They put more into story and character than the AAA titles as opposed to the AAA titles pouring tons of cash into making you pour tons of cash into a rig specced enough to run the game at decent fps.
To quote Einstein, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. The question I have for you at this point of our journey together is, What is your genius?”
Can you game on a console?
Peasants can.

Kammex No you console the peasant.
+Jon With a game.
Kammex yeah, but you get what you pay for
I see New Egg has the Sapphire Nitro Fury Tri-X on sale for $260 down from $380. Is it worth going for over an equivalently priced 8gb RX480? Even though it doesn't support stuff like WattMan and what not. Power savings isn't really a big deal to me, I just want high performance that'll last for a bit. I figured since I have two 1080p monitors that I would have the ability to upgrade my monitors in the future and still get good performance out of it. Though I need to make up my mind soon since the sale ends Saturday. :)
Is a Zotac Gtx 1050 the same as a Nvidia Gtx 1050?
ELEMENTAL DELTA yeh
Thanks, I've been waiting for just this information!
*CAN IT RUN CRYSIS*
no
As a student gamer, I don't have tonnes of money to throw at my hobby... I finally got ahold of this lil cutie - the 4GB version - and it honestly is the best GPU for strict budgets 👌
What the fuck is a Crit TV?
Murcx002
New name. Finally this shit got resolved. Wendell took over the other channels and renamed them too. Also, they can call it lollipop tech for all I care, just want the crap over.
K Doe *John, Doe.
Go Team Logan! Go Go Go!!
We all make mistakes... Logan may have made some, he never said he was perfect, he might have acted without considering the full consequences, but he is just a human like you...
Wendell was just a fill up character...(anime ref. lolz) i'm sorry he was good but... Logan is the core, i will miss the duo, but...decisions were made, lets support both, i'm sure that Wendell will open another channel, now we will have more content, so in the end its a good thing, Logan will have to come up with new ways to keep us watching, he will learn and read more about stuff, he will be forced to learn a little bit about the science aspect of things, ect...
Just give him the chance to make " The Tek " Great again!
I've been watching since TigerTv
I'm not a forum member...
If Logan reads this, i can die in peace now..
*- don't take anything too seriously -* Life is very short, just do whatever makes you happy, there's no need to live up to somebody else expectations...
What's the reason for the channel name change?
It's been a crazy couple months! Tek Syndicate has rebranded. Find out more info here: forum.crit.tv/t/frequently-asked-questions-crit-tv-launch/399/2
+Crit TV The real question is... Can you VR with this?
I was gonna watch this video but then the 45 second sponsored bit
This channel has become negative. I don't think you guys are real Tek Syndicate fans...
Deon Spates I was, till Luke fucked over Wendell.
real fan, calls logan luke lmfao
Chur >top kek baited
Oskar Larson luke say what?
Dat feel when people have dedicated their time to dislike every vid that comes from Tek Syndicate 4Head
what's a crit TV?
Sheek Tres-Sesenta when did the name change happen? and why is every channel doing this?
Alexander Keith less than two or three weeks ago or so. no idea
I know right wtf is this lol
Can't imagine that Pascal even makes that much of a difference in the low budget sector.
Then again, my old ass 2007 rig that still is in use at my parents house needs a replacement for its now long dead GTX260 so maybe this is something to look for?
Crit TV????????
Samar Sunkaria
Rebranding. Wendell has done the same with other channels that belong to him.
What're the other channels?
Level1techs is the channel. You can unsubscribe from this one now. You're welcome.
DICE optimization is top notch, honestly.
wtf is happening to this channel
I'm definitely gonna need this. I'm rebuilding a server that was almost thrown away.
He is slowly turning into the "Aliens" guy...
been a fan since the tigerdirect days. gr8 review logan
my dish washer stopped working.
so I gave her a black eye and told her to get back to work.
This GPU is probably the best budget GPU
what graphics card do you recommend for "final cut pro X " render ....
sorry for my english XD
Where you playing csgo on very high 1080p, or 1080p with toned down settings? Also what kind of processor?
Crit what do you recommend i can get a 750TI for £50 used/GTX 680 for £65 used/GTX 1050 (non ti version) for £75 new?
Hey,Just wanted to ask if this graphic card perform's well with core i5 and 4gb ram.How much average fps can you get on games like gta 5 or black ops 3???
Ohhh man! This video brings back memories of Tiger Direct xD! I remember the first graphics card videos I watched were on UA-cam with Logan and look where I am again xD
I bought this card.. It is awesome... Playing almost every game at 60 fps at 1080p..I am surprised to see that it doesn't require additional power supply.. Great card available for the rate...
"Do you shop at Kmart?" While I'm sitting here wearing an "Attention Kmart Shoppers!" t-shirt. Haha.
what cpu did you use though? most people with this will have a i3, maybe the lowest end i5, or 6300 or smmit
I play World of Tanks and upgraded from a 2010 era Nvidea GTS 450 to this GTX 1050 mini and I went from low graphics settings with 30 fps to max settings with 60 fps. It is a great budget card to slap in a 7 year old Dell XPS Core 2 quad to give it some more life for newer games. It runs quieter than the old vid card and uses less power. The old card needed a power cable but this new card does not. It gets power directly through the slot. I had a choice to buy this 2 gb mini version or the 4 gb version but the 4 gb version was around 25 dollars more. My computer is a bit old so I figured the 2 gb version would do fine for me and give me a few more years of gaming from my rig. Next upgrade will probably be a completely new pc anyways.
Love you Logan, love the changes, will be watching closely.
A low profile 1050 in a used dell optiplex smashes all consoles for under $250.
"Do you shop at K-Mart?" Oh man, I got kill by that! Great review.
Tek Syndicate did you used work for Consumer reports or Cnet reviewing Tv's
Pretty killer GPU for the price and size, I think I'll get one when I eventually relegate my Xeon X5675 (6 core, 12 threads at 4.2ghz currently), 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum Ram at 1860mhz, and ASUS Rampage Gene II into a Micro ATX case (likely Betfenix Prodigy M because of the handles) for portability.
i have a 6700k 4.6ghz all cores, 16gb 2400mhz ddr4, titan Xp, 2x HDD and 4x SSD, + a corsair h110 all in a bitfenix prodigy too (a white one)
I game on a GT 640 and for a time before that, i was using an APU, YES, you can game on ANYTHING. this is a very good upgrade though, affordable for more than playable graphics and fps
Lmfao! " Do you shop at k-mart? Well i have the graphics card for you."
"Do you shop at k-mart?"
Best intro
It's fun to watch him spiral to the ground. Has any one else noticed the drop in quality?
1:32 where the video starts.
You're welcome.
What was the CPU used in the video? Sorry skipped pretty much to the gaming section...
Once again I got to say I love your videos. Funny that you had a GTA V benchmark in this video as I made the sad mistake of getting this game for PS3 for $10 and I am having all sorts of issues with it but it looks like it may be the disc I have. It still could be the way that it was printed though as people had trouble with the Xbox 360 disc so yeah. Anyway back to the video card .....
No need for a 6 pin power connector and getting FPS like you were saying in 1080p? Uh this card is the dream card for my son's stepmom who wants to play WOW again. I just hope that the card will be priced nicely in Canada. I also wish our dollar would recover so that it would be guaranteed to be priced nicely.
Thanks so much for this review .. funny, informative and the best damn thing that has happened to me all night sadly. Well not sad anymore. More videos please!
Is the gtx 1060 3gb vfm? I'm gonna build my first pc..so need some help..or the gtx 1050 ti is better?
Your hair from the front looks like Kim Jong-Un's
Or basically any North Korean dictator tbh
the 1050ti doesn't perform much better but the extra ram on modded games really made the difference for me. And I got an open box for like $115!!
If you were to choose between zotac 1050 or palit 1050, which is better? Zotac costs 2$ more. They have the same specs. Single fan, 2gb vram.
i'm interested in buying a 1050, right now i'm playing without gpu only a core i7 which runs most games even witcher 3 but i would like to increase the graphic quality a little. i'm looking for a fanless version of it as i run my pc without any fans. is there one out yet?
I really miss high-performance single-slot cards, had so many great moments with my 9800gt
Woah didn't notice the graphics card review, I thought I clicked a squarespace video
this guy, his voice, it's so, unsettling, but enticing
so because it draws power from the motherboard you wont need a neew psu to run with it? as i have a 300w psu will that be okey with that graphics card?
As long as you pair this with a pretty good cpu, you can easily get 60 fps on higher settings
Please can someone explain to me why there are so many different version
of a gtx 1050 (and video cards in general). For example Gigabyte,
zotac, palit, asus, evga and msi all sell a 'gtx 1050'. What is the
difference? Will they all work in the same build? Which one performs
best? Which one is cheapest? How can they all be the same card but made
by different companies? Which one should I buy for an i3 6100, Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H, 8gb ram build? Any help is appreciated.
