What Is the best GTX 1050 Ti?

[destinywarlock55]

Hello,
I was wondering what the best Oloverclocked GTX 1050 Ti there is, under $200 since some manufacturers just say OC, and don't mention what the actual clock speed is.

So what is the highest Overclocked GTX 1050 Ti on the market, under $200?
Thank You!

It really does not matter because you can overclock them yourself in about 20 minutes at home. I would get something like this and overclock it your self. The cooling on this card will be more than sufficient. Then use the money you save and get a new game.

You could also get a low end 1060 3gb that will perform better and is clocked higher than the 1050ti for under $200

Yeah, I was thinking about a 1060 3gb, but people are saying 3gb might not be enough

For a small percentage of games, the VRAM may be an issue, but for the vast majority of games it will not. The 1060 will be able to handle higher detail settings at 1080p than the 1050ti and still keep good framerates. For the games that you may be limited with VRAM, you will have to dial back some settings, where with the 1050ti, those settings would already be dialed back.

When you go to higher resolutions (1440p or 4k) 3gb would hold you back, but neither the 1050ti or the 1060 3gb are capable of creating a quality experience at higher resolution.
