Best price for a 1050TI right now. This price is direct form Amazon in the "other sellers" section to the right of the page.
I'm looking for a new card to go with a new Ryzen build. Ideally i need a least a 1060 for the VIVE but the current GPU market is ridiculous so i'm considering this to make do until the mining craze dies off again.

Mining is an ecological travisty IMO. They're not doing anything useful, literally making a currency out of electricity and time.
Bonkers and quite sad when you see the power wasted on the big mining farms out there.
Back on topic, I know others looking for GPU's but can afford them because of the prices.

Damn, price is showing as 155 now; presumably the offer has expired? and that was exactly the card I was looking for.

If I'm honest, I just did a quick google and clicked on the first link :smile:

Userbench is pretty awful in terms of comparisons.
Shame the fan on the Zotac doesn't switch off - I bought the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti D5 for about the same price from Scan - its fan only comes on when the card gets above 60C so is much quieter in general use.

Yeah, the zero fan thingy is very nice. It was worth paying the extra 10 or so pounds for this feature.

Couple reviews that give you rough estimates...
30% better than the 950, 20% better than the 1050ti 2gb ( might be hit or miss on that last comparison based on the game).
Anyway, it's not a bad card in the current market (which is a crazy market that I'd avoid!)
