GotWaffle Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Well I'm looking into a new GPU considering my previous one has died on me. Previously I was using a Geforce 750 TI. Nothing to special but it got the job done ya know Anywaysss, these are the two other ones I'm interested in purchasing, let me know what you guys think (also if you could include the suggested PSU wattage that'd be great) ASUS Radeon RX 580 (comes with new assassins creed for free which is kinda a plus) - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814126196 EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti FTW - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBHXR8A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 or if you have any other suggestions for most bang for my buck my budget is $200 Thanks all in advanced! I love ya'll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Walking Wingull Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 any psu with a decent 80+ rating and 500 watts should be more then enough for either of those cards. As for which is better that depends. If you have a gsync monitor or use some nvidia specific features then the 1050 ti should do just fine. However to my knowledge a 580 will perform better and is compatible with the cheaper, yet just as good freesync. As well, AMD has competitors to most of nvidias software stuff now.

Kimika-chan Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 get a 1060. get a used 1060 for 200~220 and its so much more worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for an EVGA one, I've never had a problem with mine. Also, the link you gave goes for a 3gb one, which unless you have to, I'd stick with the 6gb one. A used 1060 would be worth it as long as it wasn't abused. I had a 1060 6gb in my old PC and it was worth every penny, it's a great budget GPU.

Honestly I'd just tell him to pick the cheapest of those 3 companies with 6 gbs, since all 3 companies are very reputable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAM and gpu can get dodgy if resold in my experience. Newegg has usually good deals, or go on reddit hardware deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're buying from some random person on the internet. While Ebay has a 30 day buyer protection if it is not as described, it still does not out weigh the cons. If the seller mentions it was used for mining I'd stay away just to be safe. You can't know for sure what voltage it was given, if it was over clocked, what temp it was run at, and also what amount of stress it was put under. Also if it was manually over clocked not using the provided programs I am pretty sure it would void warranty for some manufacturers. You'd have to look into that companies warranty to be sure though, as I am not 100% sure. It's a gamble, you might get lucky and get a nice solid GPU or one that will die in 6 months. Tbh, unless you have a friend who has one for sale, I'd save up the difference and get a new one. That way you have the warranty, you know it's brand new and not toyed with, and if something goes wrong you have customer service. I agree with Crazyy Cow, Newegg is a great place to go. They also have great customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with u but not that graph lmao.

Its just an average of collection of data. Also its a benchmark. Different PC's will result in different results due to other factors. This takes into a factor alot of games. Games like Siege for instance have really good optimizations while some games don't have good optimizations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get between 100-275, it's pretty erratic. What processor do you have? @GotWaffle What processor do you have? A 1060 6gb may bottleneck it, especially if your processor is older.

Tf2 is very cpu dependant, so a 7700 or 8700 would do quite a bit from that. Also i use an fps config from mastercoms, and usually never run anything in the background.
