Reanimated GTX 1050 Ti at Absurd Price in Answer to GPU Shortages

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is making a comeback. According to the latest reports, Nvidia's reanimated GPU is back in stores.

Problems with the availability of GPUs have continued for the last six months and will not disappear for a long time. Of course, you can buy the most basic designs in the form of GT 710 or GT 1030 and professional RTX Quadro, but these cards are not suitable for gaming. According to information from the Japanese website Akiba PC Hotline, the second most popular GPU among Steam users, the GTX 1050 Ti, has joined the group of available products. This means the reports from February that Nvidia would reintroduce the GPU to the market are confirmed. There's only one "small" catch.

At this price the market share of 1050 Ti will not increase.

The launch of the budget representative of the Pascal family took place on October 25, 2016, and the card found a place in many sets thanks to the attractive price (around $150) and adequate performance. Back in October 2019, custom models could be obtained for about $100. The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti resurrected in 2021, however, is expected to cost... 210 dollars. We cal already see queues of impatient gamers are already lining up with open wallets.
