One of the side effects of running a tech website is that people always ask me for advice when building or upgrading a PC. Being the performance minded individual I am my recommendations are often to the upper end of the performance spectrum where cost is less of a concern and always get concerned looks because while I might look past cost that isn't the case for everyone. Thing is building a PC is an expensive endeavor and in an attempt to keep costs low you may cobble together parts from previous builds or look for lower performing components to leave you budget for a better motherboard or video card.

Whatever path you take the idea is that you should always have an upgrade option provided what you have will do what you need.

In this review I'll be looking at the Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti G1 Gaming video card. This is the latest NVidia offering based on the Pascal architecture and is one of two GPUs to be released for the ?Discover GeForce Gaming? market. NVidia has targeted this release at users who may have never installed a dedicated graphics card or are upgrading a low-end machine.
