Final Thoughts

How Much Does it Cost?

The Colorful iGame 1050 Ti Gaming Graphics Card is available from GearBest for just £142.49 at the time of writing. That’s a 38% discount on a flash sale which is available for another two weeks. I’m not sure it’ll go back to the full price after the sale, so please check the product page here for up to date pricing information. If you can get one for closer to £150 give or take 10% either way, you’re getting an amazing deal.

Overview

I haven’t had the pleasure of doing much work with Colorful hardware over the years, but every time I have used it professionally or otherwise, it’s always impressed. It’s not the most flash GPU in the world, and it’s far from the most powerful, or the most expensive. However, it’s none the less an impressive bit of hardware at an incredibly promising price.

Build Quality

This is the most impressive aspect of this card, as you can do a lot worse for the same money. The inclusion of a full-size backplate on an affordable GPU is a welcome treat and really makes the card look great, and can improve PCB cooling too. The dual heat pipe design feeding into a blacked out heatsink, and with two lovely fans providing plenty of airflow; it all adds up to a more premium looking and performing product.

Performance

A Titan slayer this is not, but for those that are gaming at 1080p, it’ll play the latest games at decent graphics quality settings. For games like Fortnite, Minecraft, LoL, and other eSport friendly titles, it’ll be more than enough for your needs. This makes it both appealing to those with tighter budgets for a GPU upgrade, or for those building their first rig, or a rig for a younger PC gamer to cut their teeth on.

Should I Buy One?

Honestly, I think this is a real bargain here. The performance is far better than you would have expected in this price range. Furthermore, just a few years ago, this level of performance and build quality was beyond unthinkable at this price range. If you’re looking for a great GPU at a great price, the Colorful iGame 1050 Ti is it!
