Ah- But i think the 1050 has come down since i bought mine- To me it was worth the price- as i do a lot of video card intensive work like photoshop, and other digital painting software work- and gaming-
I see the GTX 1050 on Amazon for $310 and up — sometimes way up, depending on configuration. The thing I’ve noticed on some of the other models is they’ve started substituting GDDR4 for GDDR5 to keep the price down. Most but not all of the new GT 1030s are like that. People say there is a definite performance hit, as much as 50% for certain specific operations.
