A few months ago, I bought my youngest son a GTX 1050 TI 4GB video card used, for about $70.
It uses about 75 Watts, and gives a performance of about 6,300 on Passmark.
For Christmas last year, I built a PC for my oldest son, using a Ryzen 5500GT processor. It has a video performance of
about 2,500. Not bad, since he mostly plays older games, and only a couple of them have any 3D. However, for his upcoming
birthday, I'd like to get him a card that would let him play more 3D games that came out up to say, 3 or 4 years ago.
Should I just get another used GTX 1050 TI for $70, or do you think that another card out there is a better value
for what you get? Thanks for your thoughts!
