This option is great for online games - this is important, since I occasionally indulge in this kind of pastime. Does not make noise, does not heat up, is inexpensive. The power consumption is low and the video card itself is compact. Satisfied with everything.
The only negative is the small fan. However, judging by the reviews, this does not affect anything, so I will focus on this option.

Main pluses:

• excellent value for money;
• does not heat up;
• does not make noise;
• copes well with online games.

The main cons:

Second honorary - MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 1341MHz PCI-E 3.0 4096MB

Another interesting option worth getting to know. The MSI GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card is in high demand among consumers. It can handle both huge Photoshop files and graphics.

• works quietly;
• powerful.

The main cons:

• no.

MSI GeForce GTX 1050 barely gets warm. With its help, you can play even with high settings. The video card looks attractive. Of the minuses, a poor-quality cooling system can be noted - only 2 turntables and a standard radiator. There is no additional power supply. (Egor, Ulyanovsk)

Sapphire Radeon R5 230 625MHz PCI-E 2.1 1024MB 1334MHz 64 bit DVI HDMI HDCP is not a bad option. With minimal settings, games with its help run without brakes. The card is inexpensive. This option was eliminated due to the fact that the model is very hot. This is a disadvantage.

• budgetary.
