Title says it all. I have 16gb ram and a intel i5 processor. Do you recommend the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 2GB Windforce Graphic Card (GV-N1050WF2OC-2GD)?

Hard to say without a budget in mind and what resolution you play at etc..Title says it all.
That budget at the highest, would net you the GTX 700 series from nvidia and the Radeon RX 500 series from AMD. Which is quite a ways into the 'previous generation' when it comes to graphic cards.My budget is preferably $50-$125.
Personally, I'd aim a little higher to the 4gb 1050ti, the memory gain is definitely worth the extra over the 1050.Do you recommend the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 2GB Windforce Graphic Card?
Not to veer things off-topic too much, but just came across this on WCCF Tech's site: https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-2080-ti-benchmark-leak/If you do not need a new GPU right now, I would wait a few weeks to buy one. According to rumors, nvidia will launch a new chip generation (called Turing) in August or early fall. And there are tons of current GPUs still in stock, so the price for a 1050, 1060, 1070 or 1080 should drop by 10-30%.
Not just that, but nVidia admitted that after the mining craziness bubble popped, they now have millions of chips and cards lying around. So new generation or not the prices will go down. Naturally, someone as anti-consumer as nVidia could also decide to trash the cards to keep the prices high. It'll be interesting to observe.Not to veer things off-topic too much, but just came across this on WCCF Tech's site: https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-2080-ti-benchmark-leak/
Seems a new card might be just around the bend, so the older generation of GPU's in due time will trend downward in terms of cost.![]()
They will probably trash them. lolNot just that, but nVidia admitted that after the mining craziness bubble popped, they now have millions of chips and cards lying around.
