Is the GTX 1050 Ti a good card for playing most games at 1080p?

>>387670198
If you run them at medium sometimes high settings, yes you can comfortably play modern games at 60fps in most games. Ubisoft games not included.

yes. 60fps everywhere on ultra

>>387670198
Why not just buy a 1060?

yes, but a 1060 3GB or an rx 480 4GB would be better.
of those two, whatever's cheaper.
but if you don't want to pay more, then a 1050 ti is good.

>>387670198
Mid setting in current year and low-mid in a few years for that stable 60fps, unless game devs go fuck all and suddenly 4gb of vram become less than enough.

Yeah, better than the 3 GB 1060 honestly, since that extra gig means the few games the 1060 can't even run will just chug along on low on the 1050 Ti.
6 GB 1060 is a better option price:performance, if you have the means So is the RX 580 if you can find one that isn't marked up because of coin Jews.

Because I'm cheap and my current GPU is a GTX 750 Ti, this seems to be kind of the same thing (cheap, power-sipping CPU that doesn't cost too much.), but updated for the current year.

Also the 1060 3GB is about $80 more expensive and the 1060 6GB is even more expensive. I don't understand hardware that well but I assume more RAM = More Gooder, at least more than the model numbers of GPUs do.

It's about the same level as 960 which I have. It runs most new games smoothly as long as you ditch AA and other bullshit stuff like DoF and motion blur.

In Wildlands I had to set everything medium, but that game is boring anyway

>>387670927
I have a 950 and I've used my bros 1060, trust me you should go for the 1060 unless you don't play modern AAAAAA games

In most games you can run 1080p high 45 to 50+ fps. The unoptimized shit ones you need to lower to mid or sometimes low if you want high 30fps.

>>387670198
It's a decent card but the money/performance ratio is not as good as it could be. Honestly, a gtx 1060 3gb is certainly a lot better. It get's a lot more flak that it should but it can carry it's own weight.

Before the mining faggots appeared, everyone would have told you to get the 470. Now the 1050 Ti is again the budget king card.

But yes, a 1050 Ti is enough for most 1080p stuff.
Hell it even plays shit like Witcher 3 at 60fps if you go on medium settings or so.

I own pic related and it hasn't given me an issue.

>>387670198
This year alone I've changed like 5 GPUs from a 1050 to a 980 TI that I'm currently using. The thign that people don't get with the budget cards is yes you will be getting 60 fps averages but those are not as important as the minimums. You will be getting 60 fps at times it doesn't matter but when shit starts blowing up and your reaction is vital and all of a sudden you frames start to fluctuate and drop to the low 40s and even 30s thats when you get fucking pissed. I don't mind playing at capped 30 fps fuck I played Gta IV below that when it came out and I still had a good time. Look for a card that can hold 60 fps almost all of the time even when its intensive as fuck in your game fuck quality presents thjat shit is overrated anyway.

>>387670198
Regarding Vram it only matters at the grade your gpu is, for example if you have a 1050ti It's not like you'll be using all the post processing and high textures since it will tank your fps so the vram won't get topped off. That being said on High/Ultra BF1 and R6 easily hit 3.5gb of Vram during matches so that's something to consider if you're getting a 1060.

>Actually recommending a 3GB videocard in 2017

Whatever you buy, don't buy hat. It's planned obsolescence

>>387670927
I made this exact transition. It was a tiny upgrade honestly. Get a 1060, trust me.

1060 3gb vs 8gb for 1080p gayman, which one to buy?

>>387674490
>8gb

???

>>387670198
Yes, most of the games will run on high at 60fps. You won't hit that framerate on ultra in newest games and expect to need to dial it down to medium/low for big titles 3-5 years from now.

Really the only card that makes sense on a budget in the current cryptomining climate.

i bought a 1060 6GB when i was a little low on money and now i'm wondering if i should've saved for a 1070, since i do all my gay men at 1440p.

>>387674537
8 GB? What do you need 6 GB for? 4 GB is all you really need. Take this 3.5 GB and get out of here.

>>387674606
it wont run games at high/60fps thats bullshit it will hit 60fps but it wont run at that fps even most of the time.

>>387670927
Save up for a RX580 or a 1060 6GB

>>387674738
There is no 1060 8gb my gayboy :)

There are very little options with the mining craze going on right now tbqh. the AMD cards are all overpriced, and the 1060 6gb costs a shitload more as well. He could always decrease texture size, or not put it at ultra to limit VRAM usage. And at 1080p VRAM usage is lower any way. 1060gb 3gb is not future proofed of course, but no card is. Maybe if he gets a good deal on a 1080 or something.

>>387674857
Yeah, it was a great card before miningfags appeared
Friend of mine managed to get a RX480 4GB for 170€ before the mining faggotry started

>>387670927
>Falling for the 750ti meme
1050ti is not much faster. Don't bother upgrading yet.
750ti is only one generation old despite what the naming scheme suggests. You shouldn't be upgrading a 1 generation old card.

>>387674650
Back then, sure. But right now? the 1080 is far superior to the overpriced 1070.

>>387674650
Nope, the 1060 6GB is fine for 1440p gaymen

>>387674876
no card is future proof, but 1060 3GB is designed to be obsolete within months.


the smart choice is to not buy any GPU right now. There aren't any games that need a lot of GPU power coming out anyway.

What the fuck is cryptomining and why did it overpriced certain video cards?

Stop posting any time

>>387675038
the Gainward is relatively cheap for an aftermarket card and does pretty well. Obviously if you want the ''best'' go with your usual MSI gayming edition black XX whatever the fuck the name is.

But that's a $30-40 markup right there.

>>387675245
Long story short, running a program in the background to calculate large numbers can earn you money. Also, GPUs are much better at these types of calculations than CPUs. So, people are buying up tons of cheap graphics cards (driving the prices up, simple supply and demand), and using them to calculate those large numbers instead of playing games with them.

>>387675165
Eh, you're right on that point. It's a shitty ass time to be building a computer right now. Poor sods.

>>387675328
>not doing your own research and blinding following a website score written by idiots like yourself

Phew laddy

>>387675038
whichever you can get the cheapest.
There is little difference between aftermarket Pascal cards.

>>387675165
Sure, it is the smart choice if you're going for a budget build. But some people want to play video games right now, and not half a year from now.

The 1050ti to 1060 3gb and the 1080/1080ti are still valid options because they haven't been too affected by the miners.

>>387670198
It blows the 750ti out of the water, and that's soldier through many a vidya at 1080p for me.

>>387675328
that's overestimating the difference and a lot of it is 4GB vs 2GB VRAM.
If you keep upgrading poorfag cards every generation you will never stop being a poorfag. You are supposed to skip a generation before upgrading.

>>387675679
750ti is at least 1 generation away from 1050 tho (since 8xx is just rebranded 7xx for laptop), they are also almost 3 years apart in tech advance. But it's true that 750ti is still fine by today standard, I mean they released 1030 which is the budget of budget cards, and that thing is still slightly weaker than 750ti.
Pricing if this gen is so fucked up that stepping back to previous gen is a reasonable move.

I preordered a 580 8gb for 240 europeans, how did I do

Everything's out of whack. I was pining for a Vega but those turned out to be either disappointing or in the case of the 56 not even in stock in my country, and probably never in the foreseeable future either considering they created like 500 of em in total.

I'm seriously considering jumping on the Nvidia train at this point. I'm still running a 7970 because I thought the Fury upgrade wasn't big enough for Christ's sake.

>>387676530
I certainly hope it didn't say ETA: 6 months with your ''preorder''.

>>387676426
750ti was the same architecture and was sold alongside GTX 9xx cards. They only named in 750ti because they didn't want to name it 940.
Worked wonders in marketing.

>>387676790
It didn't say anything at all
I'll be away for 3 weeks, seemed like a good opportunity to place an order

>>387670198
It's basically a GTX 760 or 960. Save up the money and get 1060 which is hugely faster

>>387676601
Vega is just a massive space heater. Modern day fermi. We can just recycle the memes at this point.

AMD just isn't giving the GPU divison the love it needs.

I'm in the same exact boat with a 750 TI looking at the 1050. I figure the extra 2gb of ram would be well worth it for the price and it's not like I'm ever buying a 300$ card anyway so why not?

>>387675165
I got a 1070 for 340 used recently, and it literally rips absolute ass on everything I throw at it.

But ya, anymore than that I'd be pissed.

>>387670198
It's on par with 7970/GTX680, 5 years old flagships. Take it as you will.

>>387670198
Would I see a jump in performance if I upgraded from my 660ti to a 1050ti?

Coming from a broken super toaster and now on a shitty Netbook, is this build any decent to play recent games, not asking too much of them and being on a low budget?

Honestly that's trash unless you play Dota/Csgo/games from 3 years ago only, it'll be obesolete in 2 years and you won't be able to reuse anything, because all of it is shit already today.

Get ryzen r3 1200 and b350 board, you can overclock it now and then recycle board when you decide to upgrade.

Get a second hand 290/390/970 and atleast a 500w bronze psu. No less than 8gb of RAM

>>387679331
you'll be able to play all of them, but for the most part, you won't be able to play them at high graphical settings.

>>387679331
I wouldn't spend money for that if you play video games, it's not even adequate for modern games, not to talk about future games
Unless you're truly max poorfag, then it's an okay build I guess

>>387670198
If you can try to hold off till the market isn't fucked, a 1050 ti would be a bad buy In my opinion, 1060 6gb/RX 570 or higher would be a more wise purchase. I'm looking for an upgrade for my other build as well a 1070 if I can find one for not like 150$ over it's msrp.

>>387679741
>>387679851
Weird, considering how it's the same identical build a guy I know has, except he has an i3 which apparently performs a bit worse than this G4600, and he manages to play anything he throws at it with little to no issue, some even at near max settings

It wastes energy and every wasted Watt makes the PSU fan spin faster. What you want is Gold or better.

>>387680042
Any cpu-demanding game with multicore support is gonna crap the fuck out because that's a dualcore
The gpu is mnot very performant, 2gb vram wll be very limiting

PSu sounds china nuke tier, gonna blow up and take everything with it

>because that's a dualcore
with hyper threading, which saved me a lot of times when using a single core to play games which actually used 2 cores

Depends on whatever he throws at this build
Also resolution
But you're right about the hyperthreading, that's a bit better I guess

Witcher 3 runs just fine 60fps 1080 on near max settings with some filters off.
Overwatch goes way beyond 60fps even a max settings
Doom near max settings stays 60 with some dips in the low 50
Older games like GTAV runs basically flawlessly, and even older ones like CSGO are obviously perfect.
Honestly, all I care for is that I can play games I want to play(and im not interested in ALL AAA games out there, just a few), even if at low settings 1024x768, but I assume I can get more than that with this build, cant i?

>Why not just buy a 1060?
The GTX 1060 went from being $180 to being $300 thanks to cryptofuckers.

Inflation across the board. Sure, you can buy the shitty 1060, but nobody buys them for a reason.

>>387680762
The build is fine for that, just for the love of god get a psu from a reputable brand
Also 8 gb ram, you don't want to experience 4gb

Being blunt, PC gaming is now officially dead. It's unsustainable due to the rise of crypto. The price benefit is gone. You're better off just buying a console.

i have it and it runs everything at ultra 60fps. but i play on a 768p screen thats why.

I bought an ASUS STRIX 8GB RX480 just before the RX580 was released and the mining craze wasn't a thing yet. Did I fuck up? Is the 580 that much better? Note that my RX480 can be overclocked to stable (tested) 1350MHz with 2 clicks of a mouse without even touching the voltage (only by increasing the power draw).

>>387681194

>Crypto miners causing a card shortage

These fuckers are literally holding back technology and the advancement of the human race. I put a black order out against all cryptominers. Beat them. Bludgeon them. Burn them. Crucify their fucking bodies.

It will play most new games on ultra in 50-60 fps

>>387681668
I think nvidia and amd shouls release card versions just for miners, so that a gaming gpu performs worse than a miner gpu. that will fix things.
