I think he just read the first few results on TPU and then jumped the gun on his conclusion and not reading on.

Yup, would seem that way, although I suppose he is technically correct about saying it matches the 470 in some games at 1080p, 3 out of 18 games tested isn't exactly a good measure of the overall performance though.

Its a nice card, but just too expensive for what it offers unfortunately, much like most of the cards in this new 14/16nm first generation and that is without taking the whole pound crashing to earth debacle.

Why would you expect under £100 ?

USA price:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...4500412&cm_re=gtx_1050-_-14-500-412-_-Product

$110 / 1.20 = £91.66 +tax/shipping.

Absolute lowest you could expect would be around £110 with VAT for cheapest model and I don't see anyone wanting to make so little margin on a product so new with such low availability. Maybe we will get to £110 in the near future or not, really depends what the pound does strength wise.

£150 for the cheapest Ti

Hahahahaha

Definitely too expensive for where it sits in the performance stack.

I wish some of these companies did something different - make some of the cards single slot or low profile FFS!! At least that would make it more useful in terms of compatability in different cases.

Too much for a 720P / budget 1080P card when a 1080P proper is £180.

TBF its also party the fault of AMD - the RX460 uses a cut down Polaris 11 GPU. If they had launched it with the full GPU,we might have seen the RX460 sale past the GTX1050.

ATM,the RX460 and GTX1050 seem much of a sameness IMHO.

Why not the full fat P11? is that going to be an RX 465?

The full Polaris 11 GPU has 14% more shaders than the one used in the RX460.

I will get a 1050 for my girlfriend's PC, should make a nice upgrade from her GTX 750. It'll only be used for The Sims 4.

Shocked to see MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming price!!! £169.99!!! :eek:

Used GTX 970 is better buy when you can find one for £150 if you are in tight £150 budget after finished read through all reviews.

Pretty impressive card from what ive seen on benchmarks,at £150-170 though i dont know,Like mentioned you can pick up a used 970 for that.

RavenXXX2 · 25 Oct 2016 at 17:25

You can pick up a new 470 for that.

queamin · 25 Oct 2016 at 17:26

It isn't good card at that price and why a used 970 that is even worst choice, when you can get a new 470.

Perfect for 1080P?

More than half the games here are 25 to 50 FPS @ 1080P

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1050_Ti_Gaming_X/4.html

Its a 1280 x 720P card or minimal settings 1080P

frankel1414 · 25 Oct 2016 at 18:01

Has anyone seen any BF1 1080p benchmarks yet?

It would tempt me if it got near 60fps average and was £15 cheaper.

Just seen the STRIX OC for £190. Lunacy.

Nevermind, found one that says it runs at around 62fps with a mix of very high/ultra.

Because your own OCUK BLOG on the main page clearly states "Nvidia's latest cards will have a starting price of £99.99 & £139.99 respectively."

I have to agree with some of the augments about price for what Nvidia are offering here but at this level of Gpu performance AMD have always been the better option.
Maybe if you ask Gibbo nicely he maybe able to hit the £100 mark for black Friday.
