1050TI or 1060 for my rig?

[aggelos123]

i am saving money to upgrade from my current HD 7770 to eather of the cards that i mentioned. Which one should i get? I want good 1080p performance but thing is i have a relatively weak CPU which is the athlon x4 750k (overclocked to 4.0ghz atm). Which one will be better to buy? The gtx 1050ti or the gtx1060?
PSU: CORSAIR CX500M

well the gtx 1050ti would make a better balanced pair with your current cpu, and the 1060 will be bottlenecked by that cpu, so I would go with the 1050ti, but if you plan on upgrading your cpu to a Ryzen or Intel cpu anytime soon then I would get the 1060.

PSU is fine for both though

I would recommend saving your money and not buying a new GPU right now.
Better save some more and get yourself a newer CPU . The Ryzen series offer some really great processors at affordable prices.
I suggest you wait and save some cash and not spending it on a new GPU to pair with an old generation CPU.
You will be heavily bottlenecked by the CPU so I would not recommend buying a new GPU.

A 1050 is the most I would go for with that CPU.

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah 1050 ti is a good match.

 

[Chugalug_]

You can get a 1050 for 84.99 and a 1050ti for 114.99, up to you.
Both are good fits.

depends on the games you play

for tomb raider e.g. a 1060 would perform much better
e.g. for witcher 3 it wouldn´t matter

 

[Chugalug_]

A 1060 would bottleneck either way, not a good choice.

 

[helpstar]

it would bottleneck of course, but if you can get 20fps or 50fps, I would consider it, even if it would bottleneck for now

couldn´t find a good video, but it shows in the first part, what happens, when the game is not cpu heavy

I'd be going in between the two personally with a RX 570 .
Thats your best pairing , yes your max fps is going to be limited by the 750k but its still going to be mid 40's minimum & you'll be able to shack the quality settings up fairly high.

 

[Chugalug_]

Note that it literally shows the exact frames due to CPU bottleneck in all games except the first Tomb Raider which doesn't have great CPU utilization.
Not a very good scale comparison, it's an outlier.

That phenom if its at stock is a LOT Slower than a 750k@4ghz
