The main games I am playing at the moment are Starcraft 2, MTG Arena, Thronebreaker and Hearts of Iron 4. All these would play great on a 1050ti. MTG went to beta a few weeks ago. Thronebreaker just came out while Hearts of Iron 4 had an expansion a few months ago. Just had a look at the top sellers on steam https://store.steampowered.com/sale/2018_so_far_top_sellers/ > A 1050ti would be overkill for many of them. Games like Divinity 2, Rocket League, Stellaris and Path of the Exile would run fine on way less.
Please don't tell me I need a 2080ti to play modern games or I am not a gamer just because you like to max settings on Battlefield 27.
Where did I say you needed a 2080TI to play modern games? All I said is that a 750TI @ 1440p is a horrible gaming experience contrary to the claims that ub4ty has been spewing. If you're content with being limited on what games you can play more power to you. I don't like that limitation and yes, I do like high FPS gaming @ 1440p which requires more than a 1050TI.
