I just picked up a cheap older gaming PC with a GTX 1050 and and Intel I7 CPU. Trying to decide what distro to load on it for gaming. Curious that others experience is gaming on various distros.

I was running a GTX 1660ti and an i7 until yesterday using CachyOS. Worked great! Though for older cards, I might recommend a LTS distro to ensure you retain support (Mint is my go-to recommendation).
A rolling release is probably better long term. Arch for example currently has Nvidia drivers as far back as for Fermi (GeForce 400/500) cards.
