ASUS GTX 1050 ti cerberus vs GIGABYTE 1050 ti G1 gaming (4gb both)

[rafaellowhite88]

I'm looking to upgrade from my old GTX660 2gb. In my current budget, the 1050ti fits perfectly. After reading a lot of posts on the web, I see people recommend the 1060 but unfortunately I cannot afford it at this point. I'm looking for opinions on both cards, which one is better or which one would you recommend, or should I forget upgrading now and just wait for better times.

My build:
ASRock h97 pro4
Xeon E3-1226 V3
2X4G DDR3 2133 Kingston HyperX Beast
Fortron 650W RAIDER SILVER

Unfortunately, better times will not be happening for quite a while.

They are both great cards. Pick the one you like the design of better and overclock.

One needs a 6 pin connector, the other one is powered directly from the motherboard. Is there a noticable difference?

On Scan, the Asus is cheaper than the Gigabyte, by around £30, but for £1 less than the price of the Gigabyte, you can get a 1060, all be it with 1GB less memory, but still should be a decent match for your Xeon.
