GTX1050 vs GTX960?

Has both in the results there. In some cases though a standard 1050 will be a bit slower than a AIB 960 with good out the box clocks.
EDIT: The 1050 should overclock pretty well though - not sure how it stacks up against an overclocked 960 in that scenario.

If you had a 4gb 960 card that could give you some leverage to go for 1050ti otherwise in that link performance betwixt the 960/1050 is identical.

Is it a GTX960 2GB or GTX960 4GB??
They might have tried looking at this review where a reference GTX960 2GB model was used:
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1050_Ti_Gaming_X/27.html
The problem is the reference GTX960 2GB tended to be a decent amount slower than the 4GB version in modern games,especially since all 4GB models tended to aftermarket ones with higher clockspeeds:

The GTX960 4GB is generally between a GTX1050 2GB and GTX1050TI 4GB in performance,but look at the last review,it has the GTX960 Strix 4GB which is identical in performance to a GTX1050TI 4GB.
This one does not average all the scores but it has an aftermarket GTX960 4GB card against an aftermarket GTX1050TI 4GB:

The GTX960 4GB is closer to a GTX1050TI 4GB than to a GTX1050 2GB.
Edit!!
A lot of GTX1050TI 4GB reviews used the GTX960 2GB which is rather dodgy since Nvidia replaced the GTX960 2GB with the 4GB version,so it made the GTX1050TI 4GB look better than it was,since the GTX960 2GB cards were starting to run out of VRAM in some titles which pushed the averages down,and AFAIK,the GTX1050TI cards tested were aftermarket ones and the GTX960 2GB cards were probably reference ones.

Thanks guys.
The card that blew was a Inno3D GeForce GTX 960 iChill X3 Air Boss Ultra 2048MB, basically same performance as a GTX770 for less money. Died after a year and a half in my G/F's PC, which isn't too bad as she never turns it off. New card seems much weedier (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inno...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-06k-in.html) but if it performs as well then cool beans. Doesn't say anything on the box about turning the fans off at idle though, do all Nvidia GPUs just do that as standard now?
