Back in stock 13th July, cheapest price according to Camelcamelcamel and cheapest option on PCPartPicker for this specific card.
Please note this a LOW PROFILE card, so carries a premium over other 1050ti cards available. This should have a good stab at playing most things at 1080p.
The 1050 2GB has also been reduced to under £100, but the benefit of the cost saving is minimal given the increasing need for more memory in modern titles.

I have just checked and as others have said, the card is now £149. £124 was expensive but could be considered. However for £149 I would expect something a lot more powerful.

I am using my GTX 460 which still seems to be going pretty strong. But I know I will have to upgrade sooner or later, is this 1050Ti a lot better? Or do I wait until all the kids out there have got bored of all this silly mining stuff, and better cards are at a reasonable price again.

If I check tomorrow on 13th of July will it be back to £124? I've checked and its £149. Unless I've missed this deal and its expired?

nope, the raw performance is actually worse than 770 but you may benefit from an extra ram in some games

The 1050ti actually outperforms the 770 in the majority of circumstances, even a big standard 1050 does a lot of the time. Not by enough of a margin to justify upgrading in my opinion (wait for 580s and 1060s to come back into existence for a meaningful improvement), but the 770 is a couple of generation's old and newer, lower tier cards beating it is hardly surprising at this point.
It's a great affordable upgrade over both of these cards.

Should've added that I plan to put this into an old optiplex SFF with an i5-2400, which I picked up for £80 on gumtree. Should make a decent Xbox/PS4-killer steambox for a smidgen over £200.
Also it seems this is the cheapest 1050 ti card you can buy at this time, full stop (according to PCPartPicker.) Full sized cards will probably run cooler/quieter, if space isn't an issue though.

Depends which Dell Optiplex it is they're well known for blowing their PSU's.

I managed to snag one of these on an Amazon warehouse deal that was overclocked as well for £111 :smile:

Would this be a good upgrade over an aging gtx480.

Not really worth the upgrade then I guess.

I've got the gigabyte version of this card in my htpc, has played every game I've thrown at it at 1080p no problems at all. Also handles 4k desktop and video beautifully.

Maybe 'smash' is the wrong word but i thought performance wise it was about 20% ahead, around 15fps extra game depending?

Should smash a 760, use less power, quieter...

I do not think it will 'smash' 760, performance wise, 1050ti should be about the same in most games. True statement about power consumption and noise in some cases (depending on cooling),though
