    I play just a few titles and recently upgraded from onboard video to this card. I believe for under $170 this is the best card for this particular GPU Pro's- It remains quiet Doesn't need additional power connection Multiple monitors supported very well Cons- None really Some would say it won't allow some titles to be played at high settings, but this card's "class" is more entry level. I was looking at a 1060 6gb but couldn't justify the additional $100+ cost at the time- For many games at 1080p with decent settings, this is fine!

    I purchaased this card to replace a GTX-560 that wasn't capable of playing the latest games in my son's computer. This card can play them all! It's got a great price point and unlike the GTX-560 it doesn't need any additional power requirements. It was easy to install and set up. A great alternative to some of the more expe$ive Nvidia-based cards.

    This card is excellent. Quick and easy installation. It pulls all the power it requires from the PCIe slot, it does not require any direct connection from the power supply. I bought it to replace my old GTX 460 and the difference is amazing.

    I purchased this card for an older system (a Dell Precision T7400). My PC has a PCI Express 2.0 slot and it's labeled as being able to handle 75W (which is what this card requires). It also has a 1000W Power Supply. I did some research and found that a PCI Express 3.0 card will work in a 2.0 x16 slot, so I decided to try it, knowing that I could return it if necessary. The card works very well in my PC. And it's nice not having to run an extra power cable to it. Windows did its thing and installed drivers for it, so I installed the NVIDIA Experience software to get the latest NVIDIA drivers for Windows 10. I selected Custom Install and checked the Clean Installation check box. Everything went smoothly. I'm using it now with an older 24" monitor that only has VGA and DVI inputs (I'm using DVI), so my next purchase will be a new HDMI 2.0b or 4K monitor, and then a 5.1 Surround Sound system for the PC (if I can find one). Thanks Best Buy! PS - If you count on using an integrated sound card that is "built in" to the motherboard, make sure that you look at your BIOS settings first. My integrated audio was set to Auto, so the BIOS let Video Card's sound system take over. My built-in sound was therefore turned Off, and was no longer available to Windows. I entered BIOS and changed it from Auto to On, and that restored my sound.

    I bought this as a replacement for a GTX 650 Ti and as expected the performance is substantially better. Unlike the older card , the GTX 1050 Ti does not require a 6 pin power connection. It draws all of its power from the PCI-E bus. So as a replacement video card it wont require an upgrade to your power supply. This card is however quite long compared to my old 650 Ti and in a fairly crowded case like mine took some rearranging of hard drives and cables to fit properly,.The fans on the card are quiet and only noticeable when under load and even then it never gets annoyingly loud. My only complaint is that it has only one DVI out and one HDMI out compared to the 650 Ti whuch had 2 DVI and 1 HDMI out.

    Upgraded to this card from a GTX650 1GB and just wow. Went from low graphic settings on Destiny 2 at maybe 20-30FPS to Max settings at 60 FPS (some dips but I'm sure that's my CPU as only about half of the VRAM is used in the game settings). Great price and a product of the USA, I paid a little more for EVGA because of their customer service reputation. Hopefully I never have a problem but if I do I know the RMA process will be smooth! Easy to install, no extra power needs to be routed to this card from your supply!

    This card is especially compatible with older systems because it doesn't need any additional power, plugs right in and fires up with no problems. Stays cool even when pushing up overclocking rates.

    I had a Radeon 7750 before this and this card made everything run so much faster. Perfect card if you don't have the power supply to run the more power card. Beware however the SSC model is a big card. It filled the area in my Dell XPS and I had just enough room for it to fit.

    Plays all the games I throw at it, enjoy it very much so far. Play all kinds of online games with friends, very sleek look, adds a great look to your rig. Its quiet, and the temp runs low as well, worth the buy. No additional power cords needed, it takes its power straight from the mb, for sure a good buy for mid level gaming.

    Runs smooth, no real issue with installation. It doesn't need a separate power source, so that was interesting as you don't need to connect directly to your battery and thus won't need as much power to run. It's a bit older but still able to run games like WoW at 60 fps steadily up to 100+ in raids.

    If you are on a tight budget and need a good graphics card with decent output this card is for you! I did like the fact you don't need to hook this one to your power supply and that it gets all it's power from the pcie slot on your motherboard. I needed more power and I ended up upgrading not too long after getting this card but I DID keep it as a backup in case I had a failure on my daily card. Overall this is a good and affordable little card!

    This card replaced the stock card that came with my Dell XPS 8910 and it delivers great performance for the price, with the added bonus of not requiring additional power from the PSU. Most games like Overwatch run at over 60fps on high settings, though the card may struggle with more graphically intense games like Battlefield 1. Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone who needs a gaming card but has less than $200 to spend.

    Got this when my Nephew was trying to play Subnautica on an older Lenovo PC with second gen i3. It wouldn't play at all before installing the card. Now it displays and plays beautifully on a 1600x900 monitor. At the time, this was the only card in the Montclair store that didn't require additional power connections, so I didn't have to upgrade the power supply. At the time, the store had a couple of the more expensive Nvidia cards and no AMD cards. I guess the uptick in cryptocurrency mining has kept the graphics card shelves pretty sparse.

    This is a very good card for budget-minded gamers. It handles most AAA games at high settings and best of all gets power directly from the PCI-E bus, with no connections to the PSU.

    Had a 550 ti from 2011 which finally couldn't keep up. Looked at 750 ti but for $25 more got this. It does a great job at medium high settings on most games, even the latest stuff. It only takes up one PCe16 slot and all power goes through the slot; there's no separate 6-pin power cord. It will probably work with 360 watt PSU but 400+ is recommended. Great upgrade for a backup gaming PC (main one has gtx 980

    For upgrading an older system to its limit, or just trying to game on a budget, this card is an excellent choice. It won't give you the best of the best in current-gen AAA games, but it will run everything in a playable state without a lot of work. 4k gaming isn't entirely out of the question with this card, though getting playable 4k out of this card is more of a privilege than an entitlement. You might be able to get Overwatch going at 30 fps. Also, if you're upgrading from an older card, please make sure that your BIOS is up-to-date, and that your power supply is more than sufficient. Being overclocked out of the box, this card will have a higher demand than other 1050 Ti models. Do not try to overclock this card further than it's already been. It already suffers from minor instability if you're switching resolutions on some earlier BIOS versions, which could result in crashes if you're using a 4k monitor but running some games in lower resolutions. Windowless fullscreen can remedy this.
