Performance benchmarks GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050
The Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti will be an excellent graphics card to be paired with the Intel Core i3 6th Gen processors, while I would recommend getting the more powerful Nvidia GTX 1060 to go with the Core i5 processor.
Both the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti are aimed at the E-Sport market, as the prize money in the DOTA 2 tournament exceeds over $20 million which is more than the money earned in a Cricket World Cup. Nvidia and AMD want to get the best experience for gamers at quite an affordable price. Nvidia has finally brought the competition in the market for the affordable AMD RX470 and RX 460 graphics cards.
While the global price for the cards is 109$ / 139$, there is a markup in the Indian price due to the taxes and duties.
The other good choices for budget PC builds are GTX 1650, GTX 1630 or the Nvidia GTX 1050.
