Have a friend looking to get into Elite on PC. He wants to know how this card would do.
Running it with a 750ti, no issues.
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.
Do make sure your friend buys a 4gb version though.
So long as you (your friend) dont want to VR or game at insane resolution.............. Other than that agree with everyone else
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.![]()
He will be perfectly fine. Dont forget the SSD.
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.
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.
