1050ti or Rx470?

[BerendJ]

Hi,
I was looking for a video card (max 180 euros with shipping to the Netherlands included) and I came across the Gigabyte OC 1050ti for 155 euros and the rx470 (msi gaming) for 180 euros. Which one shall I choose?

RX470. Is the champ.

Have you looked at Tweakers for people selling brand new, sealed, RX 470's?

1050 TI was a waste of money, didn't outperform my 750 TI SC or my 660 TI and those are pretty old cards.

But then something was wrong with your setup, because the GTX 1050 Ti is normally much better than both the 750 Ti and 660 Ti.

most likely cpu bottleneck or another issue


a 1050 ti is SIGNIFICANTLY better then a 750 ti

I'll clarify, I use both a 660 ti and a 750 ti sc.
Alone the 1050 ti didn't out perform my two gpu's combined when one is dedicated to physx.
I did put the 1050 ti in a better build and it performed about the same. On GPU boss the 660 TI is pretty similar in benchmarks to the 1050 ti except in one category: noise and power.

Your old setup is very wierd.
You're underestimating your 660ti, it's quite powerful and thus performs only slightly worse than a 1050ti.
Because a 1060 is like twice as strong as a 660ti.

It is weird but it works. I'm not underestimating my 660 TI, I think it's a great card that performs well. It has some great performance features. I'm talking about a 1050 TI not a 1060 too.
It just, for some reason on my CPU, performs better with a card dedicated to physx. I tested several cards, a 1050 ti alone with with my 660 TI, etc, and they performed pretty equally.
I didn't say 1060 at all o_o. I just found it interesting that alone, the 1050 TI or combined with another GPU, seemed to perform about the same as my 660 TI and 750 TI SC and yes I know my 660 TI is a very strong card.
