Which is the best one for gaming?
i don´t need 4k nor VR
It's mostly to play CS:GO and BO3

My CPU is: i3 540 3.06ghz
Ram: 4Gb (will upgrade right after buying the gpu)

The 1050 sits firmly as competition to cards like the RX460 in some situations, and fills the GTX 950 space in some others.... both cards are lesser performers than the GTX770.

The 1050 gets the win for efficiency - running solely off PCIe power (75W) whereas the 770 is a 230W card....

Performance-wise, the 770 wins out.
If you already have a 770, don't replace it with a 1050. If you don't, then only buy a 770 if it's cheap enough (ie less than a 1050ti, RX470 etc range)

This is a situation where the scenario dictates the result.

The 770 has more horsepower, but the 1050 is much more modern.
I don't think you should spend money on a 770, but if you could find one used for DIRT cheap it might be worth it. Otherwise the 1050 is likely the better option - optimization goes a long way.

You see the same thing in cars. A brand new 200HP car can beat old muscle with 300HP just because of advances in technology.

I am in this same spot - I have a 4GB superclocked 770 in my home rig and was looking at GPU Boss for comparison. I liked the 1050 because of the power requirements. That being said, the 1050ti is a close comparison between the two - the 770 has more muscle but it isn't as power efficient as the 1050 or the 1050ti. If you have the budget and the power supply will support an 8-Pin PCI-E power, a 6GB 1060 is a clear step up from the 770 in terms of performance.

Since I already have a 770 and it's still able to handle most games at a level I am comfortable with performance-wise, I will be waiting for Nvidia's next release cycle. GDDR6, even more power efficiency and increased memory capacity is attractive enough to make me wait.
