Consider downloading the latest version 580.97 or opt for an older model such as 566.14 or 566.36 based on your needs.

Hello there, new member! I'm not sure what you're looking for with your GTX 1050 Ti, but this could be interesting to read;

I understand that updates for my card will halt, yet I still wish to maximize its benefits, which is why I'm seeking the optimal driver for it.

Performance variations among drivers are probably only minor, usually in the single digits if any. For instance, this might result in a maximum improvement of +/- 2 to 5 fps (3-9%) compared to the current 60fps baseline in a game. You might achieve similar or better frame rates by adjusting RAM speed and timing, or by switching to dual-channel mode with dual modules if you're using a single module. Don't stress over driver versions; stick to the recommended one from the NVIDIA download page. A more powerful GPU would be the best way to noticeably boost performance.

There could be no real difference, it comes down to pure chance...
Nvidia takes a long time to release updates for older cards before they drop the final driver that works with them.
If you don’t require the additional tools and configurations offered by the Nvidia software, simply remove the GPU and allow Windows to install the standard drivers. This can slightly boost performance by avoiding unnecessary bloat.
As mentioned before, this change will likely go unnoticed.
