Gonna need /g/'s expertise on this one.
I'm looking to update my GPU since i've been running an r9 270 (not X) for 3 years and i'm barely able to touch medium settings on new releases now. I did some research and people are telling me that if i upgrade to the 1050 ti i'll barely see a difference in performance, is this true?
My current build:
>CPU: AMD FX-6300 @3.5GHz
>CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4
>GPU: Asus R9 270
>MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2
>RAM: 8GB DDR3
>CASE: NZXT Phantom 240
>OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit
a lot have suggested that i get a 1060, i may be down for that, feel free to post any other upgrade paths i should take on my shitty rig.

get a 1060 at least mate, no point upgrading if its not going to show a good amount of improvement

The is 1050ti just a bit weaker than the GTX 1060/RX480 so it should be close to the R9 290 for comparison (a sizable upgrade for you, not something I would do).
I would recommend saving up for Vega 56 or getting a Rx580/Gtx 1060 but with that rubbish FX CPU I fear it might bottleneck even these mid range cards. Consider upgrading to Ryzen instead first, and then wait for Navi/Volta

1050Ti is like 30% faster.
So like others have said, save some more.

unfortunately, my mobo is only am3+ so the new amd cpus are out of the question sadly.

Let's not get carried away, sweetie

Don't take anyone suggesting anything on this thread apart from
>>61734459 , you haven't posted your resolution and desired fps/monitor frequency.
Also, you cpu will surely bottleneck you gpu if you upgrade. The fx line is bad for gaming.

Also, go to /pcbg/ don't waste a thread for this

a bit weaker? 1050ti is about 60% the performance of a 580 or 1060.
