it is able to play all games in fhd with stable 60+ fps and many games even in 4k (for example I get an avarage 130 fps in league of legends in 4k with all detail at ultra) so I think it is more then enough unless you are a professional gamer with a 120fps+ skreen or have to do some really intensive grafic work

I've got the Asus Dual Cooler version, and works like a charm. The GTX 1050 might not be the perfect card for everyone, and might struggle to run some games in settings higher than medium, but it works great for all E-Sport titles, and does an excellent job with older games, both AAA and Indies. Tried it in some newer games and it still holds up pretty well, compared to other better cards. It's a great GPU to pair with a cheap CPU like an i3, or a Pentium G4560.
