Review on ASUS GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Phoenix Fan Edition Graphics Card (PH-GTX1050TI-4G) with DVI-D, HDMI, and DP 1.4 for Enhanced Gaming Performance by Greg Horn

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Best cheap gaming graphics card, also for ultra-wide monitors

To avoid questions about the structure of my PC, I first have a.1. Processor = Intel 6700k2. Memory = 16GB DDR43. Storage = 3TB Seagate Hard Drive. With that said, below is how I was able to run specific games. Wide Resolution) High textures but medium settings at 60 fps ) Ultrawide) High textures and character models but medium settings at 60 fps OR Resolution - 2560 x 1080 (21:9, Ultrawide) High textures and character models but low settings at 60 fps . This card is also why I love PC gaming because of its versatility, from custom resolutions like 1280 x 540 (the 21:9 ultra wide resolution I played before this card with integrated graphics) and there are always trade-offs you can manage with tweaking to get the performance you want within your budget. In conclusion, if you have $50-60 more to spend and want a more powerful card, go for the GTX 1060 3GB card. BUT, if this is your first PC build or you don't have the funds for something like a GTX 1080ti, this will keep you going. Just note that you won't be playing games on ultra settings at 60fps with this card, maybe 30 on ultra but it depends on the game and resolution. Expect to be able to play most games at medium textures and settings at no more than 2560x1080 (21:9) or 2560x1440 (16:9).
