Graphic Card Upgrade Help ! (Is GTX 1050Ti Worth It?)

[ChrisTsall99]

So , I got 200 euros max budget ! I cant buy anything above that ... I am living in Greece and I am going to buy a new Graphic Card from this store http://www.msystems.gr/ (I am not able to buy from any other store :/ ) So I check their website and they got some GTX 1050 2GB and some GTX 1050 Ti 4GB. More precisely , they got some implementations of Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (G1 Gaming And Windforce OC) 4GB for 195~ Euros and some of Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (D5 & OC) 4GB for 185 Euros... Also they got some 2GB Versions 136-160 Euros !
So I want to play GTA V at 1080P even with some settings at normal if my gpu cant handle them ...
What should I pick ? Is G1 Gaming and OC Version worth it ? Should I go for the D5 or OC? Will D5 and OC versions have similar performance with the oc and g1 gaming ? !
Thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english

The performance difference between the same models will not be too much, you can get the cheaper versions. You would want the Ti model with 4 GB, you don't want to get a card for a single game for now, what if a game is out in a year or two you like but you bought a slow video card?

A 1050 Ti will play GTA V smoothly at medium at 1080

You could get good performance from the 2gb 1050, except on games like GTA V you will be limited to lower settings due to not having enough vram on the card for higher settings. The 1050 Ti will allow you to run higher settings since it has 4gb vram. Plus it's a bit faster too.

Is it worth it? That depends on what you want. If you will be happy to just play the game at any settings and want to save money, the 1050 is for you. If you'd like to see the game look as good as possible while you play, and don't mind spending a bit more, then the 1050 Ti is for you.

Since you have a firm budget, I'd choose from the least expensive of each type. In other words, if you choose the 1050 Ti, it's okay to choose the less expensive one, you'll still get the performance you're paying for.

I assume your CPU can handle gaming.
