Zotac vs Msi vs Gigabyte

[KrisG025]

So the model of the zotac oc gtx 1050 ti is the highest clocked but has 70mm fans and costs around 180 . The msi gaming X is 200 and the gigabyte version of the gaming g1 is 195. Dont recommend me the rx 470/570 , because in Bulgaria they cost 96$ more than the Gtx 1050 ti

dude first of all, RX 470 / 570 are above 1050 TI so no wonder if they cost more
for your choice that depends on what u need the most:
Zotac for the best price
MSI for the best cooler - noise
for Gigabyte, im not too sure, perhaps it takes the best of both and put the price in the middle?

Yes , but its way too overpriced .

You can overclock the cards yourself anyway, so in general most graphics cards of the same GPU tend to be fairly similar in performance.

*I recommend going to NEWEGG to compare (not to buy) so you can look at the average out of FIVE as well as the number of 1/5 and 2/5 scores.

If I was forced to choose it would be the MSI version as the construction and cooling/noise is probably better than the others. They're all within 11% of each other but also check to see if that includes REBATES since that can be a hassle.

What are you basing "overpriced" on?

Do you mean the Gigabyte $15 over the cost of the MSI version?
Do you know what differences the coolers have, or the parts like capacitors have?
Did you look at NEWEGG and other sites to see if any coil whine, DOA (dead), or other issues persist in one card over the other?

Frankly, if the Zotac has two fans I doubt it would get too loud anyway. The GTX1050Ti isn't terribly difficult to cool provided you have adequate case cooling.

Noise (which factors into cooling overhead) under load was 27dB for the MSI card and the Gigabyte G1. The Zotac card is probably close but slightly louder.

But... that's very, very minimal noise. Perceived noise DOUBLES every 10dB (though 5dB is not 50% louder). So cards (systems) at 37dB are 2x the noise of those at 27dB.

47dB is 4x louder than 27dB.

(now smaller, faster fans can have a more annoying noise than larger, slower fans even if the noise level is the same)

So most of the GTX1050Ti's should be very quiet, possibly inaudible with noise coming from other system fans (like the CPU).

PERFORMANCE seems to be within 4% or so once you overclock most to their maximum (to compare fairly), though many cards don't have a lot of overclocking left anyway.

It looks like 8% OVERCLOCK or so is possible, so we're not talking big differences. If Zotac set the Boost higher, it probably has less OC left compared to other cards.

I was talking about the Rx 470/570 vecause the gap from gtx 1050 ti is huge compare to rx 470 - gtx 1060 6Gb . I am using atm i5-6600 and an old hd 7750 gb .

Ah.. yes. You can calculate value for what it matters with the help of this:

There are other factors, but for sake of simplicity an RX-470 is roughly 25% better than a GTX1050Ti (I'm not going to address future performance, just the current average).

I will rather buy one gtx 970 second hand its like 10$ more than the gtx 1050 ti ,because the prices in BG are insane one rx 470 costs almost like one gtx 1060 6gb /1070 in Us 😀
