My PC was very SLOW, I bought it ~3 years ago and it didn't came with a very capable graphic card. I decided to upgrade the old hard drive to a solid state hard drive and the pc was faster than when I got it. Then I realized I needed a better graphic card for a 4K display and some basic games. I found this one and BestBuy had a great deal so I got it. Once installed, you will notice an improvement in all the text quality if you are reading, browsing or viewing emails. I can't describe how happy I am with my pc right now, it feels quick and powerful! I did had to change my power supply because this graphic card needs an extra 6 pin power adapter. If you have a pc with at least 300 watts you'll probably don't have to upgrade the power supply, just check if you have space for the 6 pin cable for this graphic card. If you are thinking about getting one of these, this is the way to go! Buy it!

This is a really good GPU. It has a good mix of performance and price. There are cheaper cards in the form of the GTX 1050 or the GT 1030 but this one is the lowest I'd go for anyone serious about gaming. It has 4GB of VRAM while the others have 2GB which means you can max out games and not have to worry about future releases whereas the other two are limited since there are already plenty of games that use more than 2GB of VRAM. I also prefer this over an AMD card in this price range like the RX560 because it uses much less power and runs cool and quiet. It only uses a 6 pin power connector and comes with a dual molex to 6 pin so you can even plug this into a prebuilt computer and use it for gaming.

I bought this card for a friend because the deal was too good to pass up. Now he can run Minecraft and Runescape at max settings, what more could you ask for? Now if you stare at the sharp edges on those games, they could probably cut you because of the smooth HD crisp and clean edges that are there now. Almost as edgy as the kids who play them.

The card was sold at a great price and it was easy to install. The graphics are really good and no latency lag problems with games or streaming video. Just make sure you have an available power cable in your system as this takes one and dies not feed power only off the card slot. The dual fans are effective and quiet.

The Nvidia GTX 1050 ti is a great graphics card, the only problem is that it's NOT Virtual Reality Ready... But, if you are not interested in the VR world of gaming, then the GTX 1050 ti is great for you, if you're on a budge gaming PC build. I get a good 70-90ish fps in ultra graphics settings on some games like: RuneScape 3, Guild Wars 2 and Tera Online.
BIG TIP: If you want this graphics card to work decent enough, you need a decent enough CPU(processor), I am running an AMD FX-8350(comparable to the Intel i5) with 8GB of RAM, and the GTX 1050 ti works great, no bottlenecking whatsoever!

I was running on a Radeon RX 560 which was a great card, but I was capped to medium quality. Purchased this and it exceeded my expectations, I can run games on the highest settings with ease. Great for entry level with a reasonable budget. Very easy to install, literally plug and play.

This was a perfect upgrade for a 6 year old computer that need some TLC. The price was right for a huge boost in performance. It’s amazing how much better the graphics on Doom, Witcher 3 and a host of other games look now with everything maxed out! Can’t be happier for the cost savings!

The 1050 Ti card is a good entry point into the NVidia budget gaming lineup. The Ti gives a touch better performance without spending quite as much as the 1060. PNY cards are a good value overall, and this model certainly seems to be a good build quality. It has performed good thus far.

I have an asus with 12g ram and a processor at 3.4ghz that HAD an integrated gpu. I upgraded and got this, without upgrading my 350w psu, and runs phenomenal. I play PUBG and before would only get 20-30 fps on very low. Lol. Now i get 70-80fps on a mix of medium and high settings. At 1920x1080. My buddys cpu is basically the same but runs it alot better cuz he spent a couple more hundred of $$ more than me and just got a 1080ti thats runs it on ultra at 80fps at 2400x1440. ? Something like that. And looks spectacular. But im stilla able to play them game just fine and comparing to my buddy, saved about $600

Bought this because my computer had a more or less ancient graphics card and could only run the simplest of games. Now my graphics are clear and beautiful and I can play all of my newer games.

I got this for my kid for overwatch and it can play with some settings on ultra around 55-60 FPS. Not bad for a $150 card. Highly recommended!!

Needed this for overwatch. Works great. Amazed at how different and better Minecraft looks. Very quiet which was important since it sits in the kitchen. Easy to install. Hard to get old one out, so that took a couple of hours lol-broke some tabs off on slots but nothing that had to do with the graphics card. This was done by a mom and tween and lots of utube videos, so, yea, anybody can do it. Did lots of research to make sure it was compatible with old computer, power supply, space in compartment, etc.

I bought this card to replace an old AMD R7 250 and the difference is dramatically better. My FPS in World of Tanks went from the mid 20s to 30s to 100 FPS on ultra settings. The newest 1.0 version and new Encore graphic engine for World of Tanks just came out and I'm in the 70 to 80 FPS range on Ultra setting running a pretty moderate FX 6300 6 core Black Edition processor with a mild overclock on the CPU and GPU. The card only handles 1080 res games but it does a great job up at 1080. I got this card on a screaming deal at Best Buy online and I couldn't be happier with the performance for what I paid. It runs nice and cool with the two fans- yet it's still very quiet using the afterburner tuning software.

Great for older computer upgrade. Inexpensive for what you get. Has real power for the price, probably to fight the competition. You can spend a lot more, but this is probably the best buy. I replaced an old 1Gb card with this 4GB card with 10-100X better performance specs and have much improved speed and resolution in older games. Very happy.
