>no new power supply
if the current PSU is old and insufficient, you'll still need a new PSU

Interesting. I was planning on getting a 1060 on black friday, but this might be a better idea, since I'm on a budget.

>>355071313
if your PSU could handle your previous GPU, it will handle the new one

>>355071667
that implies that my previous GPU required more power than 1050
what if it didn't? what if my old GPU was ten years old?

the assumption itself is presumptuous

>>355071795
provided that your previous GPU isn't ten years old

450W should be enough for anything

>>355071313
>>355071795

it implies you need a pcie slot you fucking retard, any piece of shit psu could run a 1050.

Has there been any benchmarks on what this card will be similar to?

I have an I5 and x2 R290x which are starting to struggle with 2016 games. I've been looking to upgrade for a bit but I don't want to spend £500 on a new GPU,

I'm a poorfag and I have a really shitty rig. I've saved up 200$ and am about to buy a GTX 1060 3GB. This says that they're releasing a better card for 60$ cheaper. Am I reading this right? Why would they make a more powerful card almost half the price? And more importantly, should I drop the 1060 and wait for this?

>>355072371

>Purchasing an x80 nvidia variant
>After Ti revisions became a thing

Total waste of money, within a few months there will be a 1080Ti with an only slightly higher price tag that will perform within 5% of the Titan X Pascal, just like the 780 and 980.

So can the 1050 do 1080p at 55-60 fps?

>>355072718
280x is faster anyway. 1050ti is GTX 960 tier.

>>355072762
It isn't more powerful, are you stupid or retarded?

It's a cheaper card for the price range, 768 CUDA cores vs 1280 CUDA cores on the 1060

>>355072782
>within a few months
Yeah, about 9.

>>355072792
1080p 60 fps of what? Minecraft?

>>355072849
Er, modded Stalker or ARMA 2?

>>355072762
It's not "better".
It's just another low-power budget card like 950 and 750ti. Good enough for 1080p, will run most games on high as well, but won't require external power connectors.

It'll be the base standard GPU for those sub-400$ gaming PCs.

Can this even run Doom at 60fps?

The 270 and 270X are rebrands of the 7850, which I used for three years, and from upgrading to a 1060, I can tell you that upgrading to one of those budget cards will be a huge fucking leap. You'll also finally be able to play games that run like ass on older AMD cards like Idtech engine stuff.

>>355073305
Good taste anon

>>355073280
You know those 6 or 8 pin cords you need to plug into the GPUs? 1050 does not need them, as it takes all its power from the PCI-E port.

Not even a new thing. 650, 750ti, and 950 did the same, and were the go-to low-budget / low-power cards of their time.

The game defaults to all-High, but I always tweak things to fit my needs, like use 1:1 3D resolution instead of that up-sampled 900p crap.

MGSV ran at all High, Lights at Ultra, at steady 60fps. Killing Floor 2 runs smooth 50+ average as well with High textures and FX, Med shadows, Flex effects disabled since I can't even activate them.

>>355073531
I don't, but at this price it's a fucking sweet deal.

>>355073170
RX470 is a good upgrade.

>>355073528
it's getting kinda obsolete. The 950 and this 1050 are its spiritual successors, and would last you longer. At 130 bucks, this card ain't a bad investment.

>>355073528
Can't you stretch an extra 50 and get a 780? That'll last you alot longer

>>355073570
agreed, but most devs don't give a shit.

Wait which one is $130

>>355072906
I'm running my 780ti still, it's going strong. I would like a 1080ti when that release though, I'm getting like 60-110fps in the newer games and 144 in all the old stuff. I'd prefer to run everything at 144 though. The only new game I get a really good frame-rate in is Overwatch or indie games, and Overwatch still doesn't run at 144, it runs at somewhere between 100 and 135 depending on the map and what's going on. The game I'm playing with the lowest frame rate is by far the new Hitman, for some reason I only get 60-70, not even on ultra. The game doesn't even look that good...

>>355073462
>gtaV benchmark in OP

That being said i've only heard good things about gtaV optimization.
Only recent game i've heard of that got so much attention was mgs5 fox engine

I got a FX-6300 and a 1 GB version of the 7580
So, which card would be the best upgrade for 200 max?

If I was still stuck with my 750 ti then the supposed power of this card would be pretty disappointing.
I mean it still is disappointing but I don't have to worry about it.

For example, source games are heavily CPU dependent, and can run decently on integrated graphics, while having a shit CPU and a 1080 would probably make it unplayable.

my personal GOTY, that is. Only got to play it couple months ago for the first time.

Also, the game got kinda unfortunate release, as it came out at very late December 2014, thus missing the GOTY Awards of that year. And since it was technically a 2014 game, it didn't get to compete for the 2015 awards either.

And yeah, the DLC is awesome, and definitely cranks up the challenge a lot!

>>355073889
Most games, yes.
Obviously will depend on the game, your settings, and your other specs. Don't expect to set everything to Ultra or so.

>>355074075
Oh I guess I'm so out of the loop that there's that too. I just want something more clear than 1080p. .

I'm just about to launch the game again to double check what settings aren't maxed, but I was playing last night and it was def running over 100. I did just lose my frame rate counter today after updating my Geforce Experience, do you know where to find the shadow play settings on the new one?

It's a shame the first person field of view is so small, that's my only gripe. Otherwise the game looks and runs great.

I will either buy a second one and run it SLI for almost the same performance. I hope the 1080 will drop in price when the ti hits.

Granted, I do a lot of shit with CUDA programming, I think for a 1080p gaming rig this approach would be overkill.

>>355074620

its actually one of the few things about that game that sticks in my mind as impressive. it was outstandingly well optimized.

>>355074620
I got that on my 750ti and I could turn up a few things. Like grass on high which surprised me. But turn shader on anything but normal and my frames drop to 40-60

>>355074281
certainly.

I've had no problems with any game ever with my i5 2500, non-K version.

>>355074823
Don't forget, the 3GB version loses some performance over the 6GB variant

>>355072762

If you already have $200 saved for a new gpu. Just get a GTX 1060 or rx 480. Shit the 1060 6gb goes down on sales to around 220-230 with the occasional blip below around 200-210 (more often than not those are minis).

What happens

>>355074973
Looking at the benchmarks though the difference isn't huge.

>>355075046
Taxing on performance

>>355074570
With CPU, I'm on the fence between an i3-6100 or an i5-6400.

I think the i3 might actually be more powerful unclocked, plus it's 60 bucks cheaper, so I'm leaning towards that.

Haven't done too much research on monitors yet, but I was looking at
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009422

Only real drawback I can see is lack of an HDMI port, but it's not like I've settled on it yet.

I do have one and I appreciate the offer, but I'm good on that front.

>>355075079
I was hoping for some sort of slingshot swing like in IV

Reee

>>355075041
What were they thinking? At 4gb it would have been the obvious choice for a mid-range card.

>>355071795
If it was 10 years old to it probably didn't have pci plugs anyway and you didn't have pci ports to begin with

>>355074973
Yes, but the difference is around -10% I think while the price is -20%. It might matter if you need the extra $50 penny pinching for a new system, but you could always shop around for sales as well. They're all around the same price/performance.

1060 3GB
add $25 and get a RX 480 and 5% performance
add $25 and get a 1060 6GB and 5% performance

At this point it matters more what specific games you're playing, if you just want to get Overwatch to 60 fps then it won't matter too much.

>Not running two 980Ti through sli

>>355072762
Hold your horses anon. The 1050s good for the price, it's meant to compete with AMD's RX 460 which is objectively a great and cost-effective card. I recommend you save up $50 more and go for the 1060. The 1050 will probably still be pretty good, but check out the benchmarks on the RX 460, it's gonna be right around that performance bracket. If it's what you're looking for, wait for it, if not, save up a bit more for the 6GB 1060.

Why are pcucks so fucking casual? Seriously this is getting so fucking annoying, those shitty games shouldn't get attention at all

oh I know it's not a huge difference, I just wanted to make sure it was known, because nvidia naming scheme makes it seem like the 3GB and 6GB variants are only differing in VRAM size

>>355075083
I would go with the i5 personally, as the quad core is going to serve you better in the long run, even if some overclocked i3s will give you better performance depending on the game, that's mostly just because they rely heavily on one or two cores instead of spreading the load out between cores

Great idea, just before you do that make sure you don't go checking all those modern game benchmarks where SLI is getting literally 0 scaling. Don't want you to be heartbroken.

>>355075459
It depends on what you intend to be playing, as there is no point in buying something which costs $400 or more, for playing games that can be run on a toaster.

Now granted if you actually in tend to play demanding games, then yes these cards are pointless. But that isn't even their purpose.

>>355075175
Nvidia, he breeds greed, he fuels greed.

It should be 250 6GB 1060ti, 200 4GB 1060 -10% performance, 150$ 1050ti 3GB, 100$ 1050 2GB -15% performance.

>>355073339

Because there's a lot of people moving up from toasterville and the newest generation offers great value and efficiency, especially when talking about the 1060.

With that being said, a discounted 9xx is still a good deal.

>>355075895

>>355075015

You need a PSU. the claim in the advertisement is that any old PSU in a PC which is otherwise compatible with Overwatch but is being let down by a bad GPU will be able to handle this GPU without an upgrade PSU.

That being considered, it should run with a threadbare EGPU set up, but you will need to power it.

>>355077878

>>355073528

750 Ti here, i'm satisfied with it. The only issue i had with it is paradoxally with running an old game, ragnarok, black dots, seams and fucked up sprites, nothing works. Running TW 3 on medium smoothly.

On related note, fuck geforce experience.

1050 ti vs 760

>>355074075

>Unsupported resolution

This phrase will never cease to make me laugh. Unless you're playing Jap trash or ancient games, there is no such thing as an unsupported resolution for a properly made PC game. I can fire up 12 year old games in 4K.

I fucked around with a 0.8.1 beta build of WoW from 2003 in 4K, tweaking needed because queries my GPU for resolutions like any properly made PC game.

>>355077981

especially if it's a 4GB model, you should not need to upgrade at all yet. Hell, I'm still doing just fine with my 560ti 1GB at 1080p!

IT'S HAPPENING!

>>355078301
I'm going to ask my mom for one for Christmas, as well as 3x 100 Tendie microwave packs.

Current GPU is a GTS 8800, should I upgrade to a 470 or 1050?

If your budget is $110-150 this might be your best bet, however you will essentially get over double the performance and be much more future proof spending an extra $100-120 to get either a 1060 3gb or 470/480 4gb.

>>355079029
now that's retro

>>355079029
not if you're only playing at 800x600.

As someone going strong on the Gigabyte 670gtx OC, still running most games on high/ultra with slight drops and the occasional drop to medium for certain powerhouses (Witcher 3 for example),

Does this benefit me? Is the 1060 a better choice? Or even go as far as 1070? (I currently 1080p but I'm considering upping to 1440p in the near future).

Should I even upgrade? I'm no longer too of the line but it feels bad needing to remove high-end features from my games to not drop below 50fps..

>>355079242
>futureproofing with a 3gb card
u wot

>>355078158
Its weaker than a 770 since its around 960/760 performance

You need a 1070 for a worthwhile upgrade, or wait for the proper next gen cards next year

>>355071795
If it is 10 years old it used more than 75w.
And is not compatible because AGP.

>>355079029
1050 is much weaker than a 470, it's comparable with a 460.

470 is comparable to 1060 3gb

>>355079330
1050 will be around the same performance as 670/760/960

If ya going 1440p I'd wait for next years gpus

>>355072906
>i don't play anything but dota
lmao

>>355079330
If you plan on going 1440p you bare minimum need a 1060 6gb or 470 / 480 8gb. VRAM is very important for almost anything 1080p+.

If you only want to play some games at 1440p you might be able to get away with using a 480 4gb depending on the games, but definitely not a 1060 3gb.

If you just stick to 1080p the competing cards are the 480 4gb and 1060 3gb, although I'd prefer the 480 4gb since there will be at least some AAA games in the next 4 years that will easily go past 3gb VRAM with high settings and filters on.

In my opinion the 1060 6gb and 480 8gb are the best possible value for 1080p and 1440p if you can find either for around >$250. I just ordered a 480 8gb yesterday for $240 but honestly If I saw a 1060 6gb for the same price or $10-20 cheaper I might have gotten that instead, it's hard to tell how much vulkan and API and better DX12 support will help out in the future but it's also hard to tell how much VRAM future games will use and how NVIDIA will keep up support for drivers with their mid range cards.

Honestly, get the better deal regardless of AMD or NVIDIA. The 480 8gb will most likely be more future proof and have better driver support over the long run but the 1060 6gb is fast as shit out of the box right now so both cards are tempting and they are both good cards for mid range.

I haven't been following on the current gen at all and have only recently found that Skylake been out for a while and even the socket is defferent.

It'll have a ton of shit Intel's arch won't though, and those will make Zen chips worthwhile for non-plebs.

I'm wondering whether sticking with my 960 until 11 series comes out or go with 1060 6 gb

The 1060 6 gb id the new sweet spot since it run EVERYTHING at ultra


Also i only play neptunia games, the onky AAA game i ever touch was gta V and the crew which is playable

>>355088170
when next gen of cards drop

>>355088283
>have to
but you don't

>>355087485
you never buy nvidia if you're planning a build to last you over a year, only AMD cards hang for longer than that because AMD doesn't gimp their cards.

>>355080194
Sounds like it's 1060 then, if I could find it cheap.

If not, I'll probably just skip a gen again. I still get high settings on most games so no reason to start sweating just yet.

>>355088360

I can only play Shadow Warrior 2 in low settings. In medium it drops to 30-40 and its unplayble. I can no longer play PC games.

>>355088487
I should have picked up that you're a drama queen.

AYYMD is well known to GIMP their cards the fastest by dropping all support

Nvidia supports their cards with rock solid drivers, even a very old GeForce 8/9/200 series card has driver update in 2016

Don't listen to AYYMDPOORFAGS lies, they are full retards and liars

>>355088613
so AMD is Trump and Hillary is Nvidia.

>just bought a 1060 a week

>>355088613
you seem nice.

i have an 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0+. i dont want to spend 600 on a 1080 not becasue im a poor fag but if im going to drop 600 on anything it will be taking an /out/ vacation.

so the question is--- does buying the 1050 Ti make sense?

>>355088780
it's still a superior choice if you got the 6gb model. if you didn't, you deserve everything.

>>355088534

30fps is playable to you? wtf

>>355088815
yes you have to keep giving money to nvidia if you want to stay relevant.
these driver problems here should not be factored into your opinino of nvidia, the more you buy the better the performance we get.

if anyone from AMDs side calls you a poorfag just say NVIDIA HAS THE 1080 AND YOU DON'T YOU STUPID POORFAG LOL

>People having mental break downs about cards with less than 5% difference

Geez. Am i the only one who still happy with their old card? I have a fucking 660Ti

>>355089086

Yes Anon. You are the only one here with low standards and poor.

>Spend years with a shit computer
>Now everytime I open up Speccy I feel like it's going to tell me my computer has canceer
Is there much point in getting a 1050Ti or will I wait for the next budget cards?

>>355089086
No I'm fine with my r9 280 even if it's only been used for Witcher 3. Helps that my life is so shitty that I can't find the care to get autistic over this kind of shit anymore.

>>355089086
Hey nigga, me too. >>355089147

>>355088815
No, because the GTX 1050 Ti is similar performance or slightly faster than the GTX 960

You should wait for Nvidia Volta, the next-gen GPU architecture instead

1060 6 gb is the sweet spot for gaming, anything below it is wasting money

>>355089147
>core i5

You can't make this shit up

>>355089147
Your minimum upgrade would be GTX 1060 6GB or waiting for Nvidia Volta

>>355089307
>I am poor and can only get console-tier resolution and framerate

>>355071220
How much is it though

>>355079974
and what do you play, shit like tomb raider right?
mafia 3 and all those other cuck games
kys

>>355089564
$140.

if I have an AMD cpu would an nvidia card directly clash with it? would I just have to get the evga manufactured version?

Where can I learn which parts I need to upgrade to improve framerate on high end games?

I want to know which parts need upgrading and why.

>>355078104
8k screens already busted that

So this card is pretty much a GTX 960 with better efficiency.

What games will be it able to max?

>1050
I thought anything less than a xx60 card was worthless.

>>355089860
The 1060 is already obsolete. Can't even run CURRENT games. I repeat, CURRENT games on ultra/60fps

>>355089964

We both know that's bullshit. The only game the 6gb chugs on are games that are coded like ass.

>>355089728
Damn

There's also a $110 version but I don't know why you'd even consider that one.

Why is the 460 so bad? Barely better than the Meme50 Ti, worse than the 950 which has been the poorfag GPU of choice for the past year. Like I can't imagine a situation where you would buy a 460 opposed to buying a used 950, or saving up for a 1050 or 4gb 470.

>>355071220
Wait, what? No power cables? The fuck am I reading? What on earth powers it, the pci-e rails alone?

>>355089846
at 60fps? non of the aaa titles that's for sure, just like consoles, but at least you get the option to lower settings to 60fps.

>>355090312
>my card isnt even on this list
Guess it's time for an upgrade.

Different anon but I'm checking out the RX460 and it's looking up my alley for price and performance.

>>355090615
Can't see the 390, unless I'm blind.

>>355071220
Downgrading is easy*

Buy a r9 380.

>>355088487
>>355088283
750ti is meant for console-level performance. Why are you surprised that you're getting 30fps in AAA games? That's what consoles usually get as well.
