Yeah that is a good point. It all depends on the games you play and it's always changing every day. And I'm hoping that you are aware that there's different gtx 1050ti's right? This is my GPU: There's a huge difference between the one with one fan and this one, but are priced almost the same. The fans don't even kick in until you do some serious gaming. Out of every game I've played (some being wayyyy more graphical than others), not once has my fans moved other than when booting up the pc. Personally, I think it would help if you listed the games you were referring to. This particular 1050ti is relatively new to the market and will cover over 90% of the games out there (to my knowledge because things change everyday). Imho, if you're tight on money or on a budget, this is the card you want. I also want you to know that I'm just trying to help you out. I'm not trying to tell you what to buy. This is just my experiences with using this particular card and I feel like you should at least know its capabilities throughout. If you want the 1060, go for it. It's just as good. It's your build, man.
