Graphics card question

[Lasse]

Graphics card question:​

I'm thinking about buying a new computer, but I ran into a problem.
I dont know if I should spend a little more on my graphics card...

Should I upgrade this: "Asus GeForce GTX1050 2GB" >To this>"Asus GTX 1050Ti 4GB STRIX"???

​

That's not really much of an upgrade.

What budget are you looking at?

 

[Lasse]

I know, but since it don't really cost much more, i would suppose that it would be worth it, right?

Nope, not worth it. You would want to go with the 1060 to notice any real difference.

The ti is clearly the better card.. but yeah, not a ton of difference in the cards...save for vram

Okay, so what about a "Asus GTX 1060 3GB"???
It costs a little more tho...

This may be a better question... What games do you play? This really determines what video card you need.

If I were getting a 1060 I'd opt for one of the 6GB versions

I play Games like: Minecraft, WoT and Overwatch... And in the future i want to play "CS:GO"...

That might be exceeding my budget...

What is your budget? and are you in US?

 

[Lasse]

I'm not in the US, I'm in DK (=expensive sh*t), and my budget is: $880 for the computer... Still expensive, prices a little more than the UK...

Those games aren't anything crazy and would play well on the 1050Ti.

If you wanted to play shiny newer games like Battlefield 1 you'd have to turn down some settings.

 

[Lasse]

Okay, so you would recomend the 1050Ti?
And just a hypothetical question, if i was going for BF1 do you think it would be playable???

 

[Intel_man]

Yes, just don't turn up every graphics settings to max.

 

[Lasse]

I shouldn't turn up the settings to max in Overwatch or BF1??

 

[Laquer Head]

I shouldn't turn up the settings to max in Overwatch or BF1??

Unless you enjoy frame rates tanking

So you've already got a 1050 or you're just shopping for cards and asking if the price jump for the TI is worth it?

 

[Lasse]

Shopping..
I meant, will I be able to play Overwatch with good settings???

 

[Darren]

If you're wanting to get something faster than the 1050 might as well bump up to an RX 470. Noticeably faster for not much more money. Either way a 1050 can do Overwatch easily. Benchmarks for comparison sake.
