My GPU broke and I only have $150. Is the GTX 1050 Ti any good?

>1050Ti

ew just get a 1060

>>379486735
>GTX 1050 Ti any good
it's fine but it will not last long, i'd get RX 570 for a bit more if you can find it somewhere

why dont you get a secondhand gtx 970
>inb4 muh 3.5
it's still solid at that price

>>379486735
if you just want to play witcher 3 you could get away with a regular 1050 it I have to agree with >>379486780

You'll get a much better cost/performance ratio with the gtx1060

>>379486735
I'd go for a 1060, little more expensive

>>379486953
>it's literally $120 more expensive, 3GB version is not worth it
>>379486838
that junk requires two 6 pin connectors

>>379486735
Eh, Nvidia isn't generally a good idea. Their cards are prone to viruses and their voltage regulation is shoddy. The last thing you want is to plug in a card and have it fry your whole system. I also hear Nvidia cards generally run slower than most AMD cards when it comes to games.

>>379487308
gonna need at least one source for all the bullshit you just sprayed out of your fingers

Get a 1060 or a 570/580
The 1050 is a really bad card

>>379487394
noVideo is total garbage there's your source shill

>>379487394
Well I don't have any academic sources, unfortunately. However, I am a consumer electronics historian, and I can tell you that through my own research, which I encourage you to do your own, Nvidia is not trustworthy. They're part of the NWO.

>>379486735
1050ti is a scam

buy 1050 or 1060/570

>>379486735
You can actually get an RX470 which can handle 60fps 1080p gaymen for that price.

>>379487308
>their cards are prone to viruses
What in the fuck is this shit

>>379487579
You are quite welcome to do your own research if my findings are not to your liking. But I assure you, this research was conducted by a good Christian man, so it's quite trustworthy.

complete bullshit

Thanks anon. I needed a good laugh.

>>379487886
That's why if you're at all serious about a PC related question you go to fucking Tom's hardware or even fucking reddit. These threads are usually created by bored faggots that just want to have a giggle from all the rampant autism and shitposting.

So a 1060 or a RX 470, I'll look into it mates, thanks.

>>379488259
Yeah either one I think benchmark wise they perform with 1-2% of each other, 1060 might be a little more "futureproof" but honestly just get whichever is cheaper

390x/580 is a good midrange card

a 1060 oc is a good compromise as the 1070 and 1080 are about to get shit on by vega

>>379488614
1060 is as aexpensive as 580 and performs better. Why would I get a 580

>>379488259
my old 460 still runs everything, I can confirm the '60' sector is fine

Lol @ people recommending him anything AMD right now. The cards are going for double what they are worth cause of cryptomining. Out of his price range

>>379489067
aidzmd is quite literally second tier hardware

>>379489067
>check Amazon
>580 $800
>570 $600

WTF? Fuck miners. Doesn't the price gouging defeat the whole purpose anyway?

I don't really think that's a great card for TW3. It's more powerful than my GTX 760 was, but not incredibly moreso, and it wasn't really a great experience for me. The graphics settings don't do very much, just foliage distance. So you might get a consistent 60 FPS most of the time if grass is growing one feet in front of you, but you're still gonna dip and stutter in cities unless you lock it to 30 FPS.
Maybe I'm dead wrong and the card being two generations newer makes a big difference, but I'd still go for something a little more powerful if TW3 is your focus. Aim for a 1060 perhaps.
