Which one is better/FPS/quiet/cooler?

Honestly at that level of GPU, I'd get the cheapest of the bunch and OC the snot out of it.

I'm sure the MSI or Asus are quieter than the EVGA unit...if memory serves me right their fan designs are a touch noisier. Really close your eyes and pick one though, you can't lose with a 1050Ti...but I have trouble recommending one spend over $150 on one...which leaves all BUT the EVGA out.

Do you plan to OC? If so the shipped clocks mean little...as they should all clock similarly. I'd go with the EVGA, set a custom profile and clock the snot out of it if I needed more performance. Considering my son's 1050 2GB non-Ti can play Ashes of the Singularity on Medium/High at 1080P with smooth frames...I imagine any of these cards should do quite well even out of the box.

I won't OC, I will just set the settings to Medium or High and play all night.
EVGA then?, is it hotter?. by how much?.

Any of those cards will be able to do that and then some. OC or not.

Odds are the temp differences won't be too great... the biggest things to keep in mind are your ambient air temperature and case temperature and air control.

room temp is 29 c
Node 202 case
not a great combination......

Well all of those coolers beat the factory cooling solution, and those GPU's don't run hot anyways, especially if you leave em' at stock. Odds are you'll be fine. But I'd wager the Asus will run the coolest of the bunch...but that could be 1-2C, or could be 10C. I haven't had my hands on all 3 so I can't tell you exactly what they'll run at....that's your gamble and decision to make. What you can do is research reviews on them, see what folks are saying...see which one has the least issues, returns, RMA's, etc.

Frankly I'd get the EVGA, plug it in and go. Even more honestly, I'd look for the next cheapest option! Though I'm in a basement that stays at 64F year-round (or colder).

I really have trouble recommending spending over $150 on a 1050Ti. Sure they present good performance...but not enough over a used GTX770 4GB to justify spending more than $150 IMHO. I'm not against used GPU's though. Especially with the awesome sellers here on TPU and the few on [H] I've gone through.

Nice point, thanks my friend!.

Pick the cheapest one. Seriously. The fps, temp, and noise difference are going to be negligible between them. Reviews have all this information.

That said, its not a great gaming card... save your pennies and get an rx480 or gtx 1060. 1050ti is long in the tooth today at 1080p....imagine 2 years+ down the road..

might as well save up for a 1060 6G or a 1070 at this rate

I will try to save up for a GTX1060 6GB
If I can not get the money from today until next week, I will buy the GTX1050 Ti.

You'll be sorry.. if not now, then soon after, honestly. Have you read any reviews?

yes.
The GTX1050 Ti can run games at High 60 FPS.
I'm fine with Medium or High settings....

 

[EarthDog]

Buy a console if you are good with high and less AA.
