Hey All,
I am in the process of building a budget rig, and Yes i know Cheap=Expensive, etc, but regardless, i do not expect top of the line. I have been planning to use the 1050 Ti, as it costs less than most used older GPU's, and has quite a bit of power for the price.
I have heard of people using them and seen no issues so far, however I have lately been reading posts from people who do not own one, that are saying that the 1050, is a newer cheaper model, designed for short bursts like video gaming, and that the card would likely burn out and damage your pc when using it for such an exhaustive task like hash cracking.
Can anyone verify the truth in this statement? If so, can anyone suggest a card around the same price/efficiency? I am in Canada and have trouble getting older Radeon models.
Thanks for your time, and I eagerly await your responses
