I'm running an 8 year old Dell XPS 420 and I really, really don't want to buy a new computer. Lately, my peace and equanimity has been shattered by my ten year old son shouting from the basement about how laggy the computer is. Hummm. What to do

Low power consumption; demonstrated compatibility with an eight year old Dell XPS 420 loaded with equally old firmware; totally new experience when matched with a new Dell Gaming S2417DG G-Sync 144 hz refresh monitor

Maybe I should have bought a 470; dunno

Fans kick in at around 60 Celsius but during heavy gaming, the card never reached over 65 (not overclocked). Best bang for your bucks!

Very good for budget build; Has RGB and backplate; If you're just planning on playing some MOBAs like Dota 2 or League and not some graphics heavy games; it can run 80-100 fps at 1440p for Dota and 4k for league with max settings; Tested with Farcry 3 at 1440p and got 40-50 fps which is not too...

non so far

In the graphics card department, NVIDIA has the low-end covered with their new GTX 1050 and the mid-range is occupied by the GTX 1060, but what about in between? Enter the GTX 1050 Ti.

+ Small footprint; + Powered by PCI Express slot; + Low power consumption; + Manually overclocks very well; + Quiet & effective cooling; + Great 1080p performance; + DirectX 12 ready; + One of the more affordable 1050 Ti cards

I was initially a bit concerned about how easy this job might be for a novice to install but I'm pleased to say that the hardest bit was working out that I had to bend and snap off two port apertures from the back panel of the desktop casing so the card could protrude out the back.

Excellent graphics card, runs extremely cool, fans hardly ever run but are super quiet when they do. Quality construction, easy install, and good choice of output connectors. Runs games such as Project Cars and COD Remastered smoothly without any issues.

I upgraded the G1 from a 750ti and I noticed i 40 fps increase also i can play on high or ultra with loosing all frames unlike the 750ti all i can say is that I'm really satisfied with this card

LED and back plate look cool; runs all my games on high or ultra 60 to 100+ fps

None

After a year of use, it completely stopped working. I made sure it wasn't my mother board nor the power supply. Tried it with 3 different computers and with no luck. My PC won't recognize the GPU at all. Can't believe this!

Gigabyte's G1 Gaming is likely one of the finest GTX 1050 Ti boards available, but the slightly pricier AMD Radeon RX 470 simply outruns it.

Runs very cool and quiet; Overclocks well; Excellent feature set for a budget-to-midrange video card

AMD's Radeon RX 470 outpaced it on most tests; Priced well above base-model GTX 1050 Ti cards

It's Such A Lovely Graphic Card 0 lags frame rates on Ultra settings of games is minimum 30 with high games lyk Mafia 3 and so on Best Budget Graphics Card for another 5 years of all games coming out

The graphics card is an easy install that does not require additional power from the power supply. The knock I would say would be the built in driivers didn't quite work on the build for windows 10 but online updates worked just fine.
