Nvidia has officially launched its budget-oriented GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti graphics cards.
The GeForce GTX 1050 competes directly with AMD’s Radeon RX 460, with both cards aimed directly at the budget gaming market.
The GeForce GTX 1050 will start at $109, while the Ti version will start at $139.
Both the GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti have a TDP of 75W and therefore do not require an external PCIe power connector.
The GTX 1050 Ti will be available on 25 October, while the GTX 1050 will be available on or before 8 November.

I doubt it will be that cheap in SA. Probably over R4000 which makes it far from a ‘budget card’ Spending that much on a “budget” card is like buying a Ferrari on a budget. Makes no sense.
