1050
"To wrap up our latest benchmark battle, I should note that I'm still not a fan of the GTX 1050 Ti unless you can get it at a discount. The Ti edition typically sells for $140, which works out to 40% more than the standard 1050 while delivering just 15% more frames on average."

Im thinking of now getting a gtx 1050, Probably both will bottleneck?

1050 is the best choice from that list.

Even if i was to upgrade the build in the future? I also have a 1680 x 1050 monitor 😛

I'd suggest waiting for Vega to come out. All GPUs will come down in price.

Okcnaline makes a valid point about prices being high from crypto mining. But with video cards I would suggest not buying to future proof, because in 4 years when you want to upgrade the new midgrade cards will be better than the 4 year high priced video cards. Buy for your immediate needs, and worry about getting an upgrade when you need it.

Im thinking of getting the 1050 now.. Yes?

Vega from what we know is going to have 3 tiers of performance. Latest leak puts one of those cards at 15% more performance than the GTX 1080. With the resolution you are playing at you could benefit from a 1060/480/580, which would allow you to play at ultra/max settings. But the 1050 will do just fine if you don't mind turning down the setting 1 or 2 notches on some games.

Never had the money for 1060

So you suggest 1050 over the ti here in canada?

Absolutely, get the 1050!

I'd personally wait for Vega to come out. By then you'll have enough money for AMD RX 470, which performs much better than 1050. By then those cards will run for about ~$150 USD the way they were months ago, and second hand ones may run for $125 USD.

If you want to wait, of course. Otherwise, the 1050 is a solid option. The Ti offers too little benefit to be worth ~$30 USD.
