Amazing Bang for the Buck!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Solid sound (both from the game and outwards to others from the mic). Great build and comfortable around my ears for long periods of time.
I'll take these over my Astro A40TRs ALL DAY. Will likely look to sell those out for another HyperX headset.
After BestBuy rewards...got this headset for $30. Steal of a deal.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti hit the perfect spot for that upgrade you know you need, but at the price you want! With the latest NVIDIA Pascal architecture, the 4GB GTX 1050 Ti displays stunning visuals and great performance at 1080p HD.

A beast of a budget card!
on June 24, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have always been a console gamer, but I did dabble in some games on the PC (CSGO, SC2, Heroes of the Storm, Paladins, GTAV --for mods--, and couple other games). It was time to upgrade my GTX 570Ti, but I did not want to drop a lot of cash on a new card since, again, I don't game on the PC often and what I DO play isn't very graphic intensive (except for GTA V). This fit the bill and with my BestBuy rewards I got this card for $110. Blown away and the performance upgrade it gave me over the 570ti (naturally).
All in 1080p 144hz monitor highest settings:
CSGO - 150 fps +
League of Legends - 150 fps +
Dota 2 - 150 fps +
GTA V - 60 fps +
Paladins - 140 fps +
Heroes of the Storm - 80 fps +
Star Wars Battlefront (Medium) - 100 fps +
Battlefield 4 (High) - 90 fps +
Crysis 3 (High) - 45 fps + (goes up to 60+ fps on Medium)
SimCity - 60 fps +
FIFA 17 - 140 fps +
And that's about all I can remember that I tested. Of course, lowering the settings to medium on some games increased the FPS by 15, minimum and still looked great. So if you don't care for 4K or 1440p and prefer 1080p at 144hz like me, this is a solid budget card! Stays cool, too. 60-65c under load.
I will upgrade to a 6GB 1060, though, for Destiny 2 just to get the extra "umph" without breaking the bank because I love my Destiny. :)

Experience smoother gaming with this Radeon graphics card. Its 4GB of GDDR5 RAM provides high-performance operations in image-intensive video adventures and stunning color reproduction for a more realistic appearance. This Radeon graphics card has a 128-bit memory interface for accelerated frame rates and includes HDMI 4K60 support for high-quality video playback.
 

Is this better than the msi 1050-ti Gaming X 4G?

I have always been loyal to EVGA. Can't speak on the others but EVGA is top quality.

Does this graphics card work with AMD ryzen chipset?

I don't see why not. As long as your motherboard has a PCI 3.0 slot (which most modern motherboards do), you can support this card.
