Great price if you're after a cheap graphics card to start with. Delivery price on top as well, starts from £5.48

I've not been keeping a close eye on this sort of stuff, but a quick google doesn't seem to support that and the 1050 is more power efficient/cooler running which is a concern for some people. Also NVidia seem to have the edge as an HTPC card.

is this a good upgrade from a amd 7850 2gb ATI card ?
The 1050 is nearly identical in performance (72% versus 73%) and OC's way better.
Also, if we enter the 1050ti into the discussion (if it is ever around 110 quid) it's way better.
But then again, if you jump up to 160 quid, the 470 and 1060 3gb start to creep into the discussion.
At 100 quid, this is a good card and won't require any extra power.
It will play all the games you want at 1080p with reduced settings for 60 fps.
I don't personally recommend *any* 100 quid gfx card, but if you only got that to spend, this is ok.

Hows that decoding of video working out for you? They fixed it yet?

1060 gtx is more comparable but generally beats the rx480. Both are closer to 200gbp so a different price bracket than the 1050. It is a fair point that unless you want slow or cheap, it's worthwhile to spend a bit more.

This card is for those who want cheap. If you wanna play games on a budget and dont care about resolution or the fact that the amount of details wont be set to high on latest games then this is a good price atm.

It's only worthwhile if you're a regular game player I have a rather pedestrian Radeon 7700 and it plays everything at frame rates good enough for me and most people.

From what I've read, this'll eat up games from the last couple of years on full settings so represents good bang for buck...but..it won't last you very long with new games especially as it only has 2gb ram which seems to be quite limiting but as you'll be knocking detail settings down it might not be too serious?

Indeed - 2gb RAM? I don't know much about graphics cards, but surely that's a false economy?

Yup, I have an Asus 7770 and it eats BF1942, great fps, highest details available in 1080x1920 coupled with a beast of a processor, an Intel Quad Core Duo 9550.
Works for me :smiley:
Edit: It's a 7790, just found the box in the garage under my Canon 40D equipment :smiley:

In US $10 difference (accordingly to launch date prices) between rx 460 and gtx 1050 still justifies getting gtx 1050 as it is a faster card, but in UK with current prices (including delivery charge) difference is £15.48. Question is, is that amount worth 3-5 FPS more on average?
Voted hot though, as it is the cheapest price for gtx 1050 I have seen.
