Have a friend looking to get into Elite on PC. He wants to know how this card would do.
 
Assuming the rest of the computer is decent as well, the 1050 should run Horizons at high settings in 1080p at 60 fps no prob. Ultra might be pushing it in some places, but the difference in quality is minimal.

I have a 1080. If I remove the 144 vsync cap I go well over 200 FPS on ultra in many places.

running it on a 640M and it works, (ok in medium settings and get 35fps on planets)

Ah that's alright. My friend is from consoles & he is quite happy with a humble 30fps avrg.
 
I use a really old AMD HD 6870 1GB, I can often get 40+FPS on Medium to high at 1080p.

The 1050ti is better than my card. So I think your friend will run ED fine.
 
So long as you (your friend) dont want to VR or game at insane resolution.............. Other than that agree with everyone else

Do make sure your friend buys a 4gb version though.

Oh yeah. Absolutely. He's well aware of the difference, now that I've explained it to him.

Yeah mate he has pretty humble desires. He's happy with console performance. He just wants to start using a HOTAS. :)

Hotas is fab in ed. If on budget the thust master tflight is good for the money. I have an x55, great whilst it works but its build quality mostly throttle wiring sucks.

My next hotas will prolly be the official elite dangerous one.

He will be perfectly fine. Dont forget the SSD.

Absolutely. He's already ordered that part. ;)

Yeah the T-Flight is what he's getting. I had him round my place the other day. Why this has come up. He had a go on my HOTAS... I did warn him there was no going back. ;)
 
I have a geforce 750ti, and these are my settings: http://i.imgur.com/JtJwjPp.png

I have 60fps at most supercruise situations. Sometimes approaching a landable planet (terrain generator kicks in) it drops to 30fps. In some heavy combat situations this drops to 20fps. With the last few patches adding some on-ground graphics optimization, I haven't seen fps drop below 20 lately either while driving SRV. At vast majority of the time the game runs either 30fps or 60fps, both of which suite my tastes real fine.

Considering geforce 1050 is roughly 50% faster than 750ti, I'm sure it would be quite sufficient to run this game, at least on 1080p displays. If you have 1440p, well, you're already probably struggling with the 2GB of memory of these entry-level cards, but in addition for enjoyable framerates some settings tweak may be needed.

He's actually looking at the 4GB model. As for settings? Yeah he knows he's not getting top-end performance. As long as it's at least Xbix-level, he's happy.

And this thread suggests he's going to be ecstatic.
 
It should blaze through. I have a 7 year old gaming PC (PCIe 1.0 motherboard), but with decent RAM, SSD, cooling etc. After Horizons launched, 460 SLI was finally struggling so replaced with a 980 Ti and 2k / 1440p GSync IPS monitor - locked at 144FPS in space at 2k Ultra. 1050 Ti @1080p will be silly performance, excluding VR.

Can drop down to 75-80FPS in certain situations on some planets, but that's as low as it ever goes. As long as there's no major bottlenecks he'll be flying in every sense of the word :)

ED actually runs pretty well on lower end cards, and I wouldn't even consider a 1050 ti to be a lower end card when it comes to this game, you'll be fine. I have a 970 with an Occulus Rift and it runs nearly flawlessly on high settings.
