Our verdict on the GTX 1050 Ti
The GTX 1050 Ti is a modest 75-watt GPU that runs cool and quiet without needing a power cable.

Buy it if…
- You want a cheap, no-frills card for 1080p esports.
- You're building a small PC that only uses slot power.
- You need a quiet, low-heat upgrade from ancient integrated graphics.
