Manufacturer description
This was pulled from a machine that, according to previous owner worked fine. I am listing as parts because of all the scammers trying to get free GPUs. I have had all positive feedback until a scammer left one bad review, so I will not be returning GPUs for any reason. Buy at your own risk, all sales are final.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 TI G1 Gaming 4gb Card READ DESC using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro graphics cards category. Gigabyte's retro graphics cards lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
