Question Best 1050ti

[goodusername]

Which 1050ti is the best? Also is this 1050ti https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-nv...aphics-card-black-red/5711724.p?skuId=5711724 any good?

Yup, that PNY MODEL is good. But what exactly are you looking for ? A faster overclocked GPU, aesthetics, or a better cooling solution ? Do you also have a power supply with you ? What's the size of your ATX cabinet as well ?

All the models are equally good, IMO. Some have just better cooling for the PCB, and slightly higher core/mem clock speeds.

If you have a decent power supply why not spend 10 or 20 dollars more and get a RX 570, they are dirt cheap right now and is significantly more powerful.

It's a prebuilt which is why i choose the 1050ti because it doesnt need a 6 pin connecter, Also, no my power supply is not that good its 310w. The prebuilt is https://www.staples.com/hp-pavilion-desktop-590-p0066/product_24330670 in case you were wondering.

The 1050ti linked is good. You could buy a gtx 1650 4gb of you want the max performance.

i dont think my power supply could handle a 1650

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Most 1650 do not require any power connectors and draw the same amount of power as a 1050ti.

 

[goodusername]

hmm i might consider that then

With the I5 8400 i would get as much gpu as you can get. The 1650 is the most powerfull gpu that needs no power connector, but its overpriced.

 

[goodusername]

should i wait alittle to see if the price drops

A slight update. It looks like some of the CUSTOM AIB GTX 1650 cards (not ALL), do indeed require 1 6-PIN PCI-e connector. Check the full database. There are more models. I'm just listing selected few.

Only buy that GTX 1650 model which doesn't require any additional pci-e cable, if your PSU does not have a 6-PIN PCI-e cable. Read my post above.

EDIT: Apart from that, your current HP pre-built OEM PSU might just be a basic unit, and it may or may not be of high quality. Change your PSU, if need be.

Thats why i said MOST dont need a connector.
I agree to look for a 1650 without a power connector.

Got it.....No worries.

 

[goodusername]

got it ill look for a 1650 no 6 pin and maybe a psu upgrade

If you can upgrade your PSU, don't look at a GTX 1650. Look at an AMD RX570 4 or 8gb. They are cheaper, they come with free games, and they perform a lot better than a GTX 1650. The RX 570 needs a better PSU than what you have, so only consider the 570 if your PSU is capable of being replaced. A good way to check if the PSU can be replaced is a standard size and standard 24pin atx connector.

If you can't or don't want to replace the PSU, the GTX 1650 is your best option.
Here is a small 1 fan 1650 4gb for $149, about as cheap as they come. It is slightly factory overclocked and has no power connectors needed. It will work on a 310w PSU with no 6 or 8 pin connectors.
