Don't forget the awesome GTX 1010. That is a 2nd coming of Pascal, or is it the 3rd now?

I thought ray tracing is the future?

Better off picking up a used Gtx 970 over a 1050ti.

Entirely true. You'll save a little power with the 1050Ti, but not a huge amount, and the 970 is usually faster.

$250 for one of these is a p***-take, too. The 970 *launched* at $329.

Horrible prices indeed. I guess with ongoing trade wars and global inflation except in China where this stuff is made, we're all looking to pay huge prices for tech during and after this pandemic.
