Not acceptable for 4k monitors

I bought this as an intermediate video card for a 4k monitor until the shakedown between the GTX 1080 Ti and AMD's forthcoming (some year!) Vega series cards is settled. The 1050 Ti performance in 4k is dismal, about par with a GTX 960. Not what I expected AT ALL. Even driving at 1080p, performance is still less than the GTX 960 on the Unigine benchmarks (Heaven and Valley both) with framerates between 9 and 12 at 4k and 18-20 at 1080p. So for that kind of lack of performance, even $140 is too much. It has more CUDA engines than the GTX 960 or it would only get 1 star.
