Alternatives to a 1050ti?

[TamNguyen123]

So recently I treated myself to a gtx 1050ti for Christmas, but over the past weeks everyone has been telling me the $150 for the 1050ti isn't worth it. And after extensive research aka googling I figured everyone was right. Now I'm looking for alternatives I have a $200 budget. Please also explain why that card is good.

My build:
AMD 7400k (going to wait for amd Zen to upgrade)
Mobo: Asus a88xm-e
Ram: 8gb of crucial ballistic
Psu: evga 600w
Case: Rosehill fbm-01

Keep your 1050ti and wait to upgrade your CPU to an Intel Kaby Lake, in the high end Zen looks to be fantastic, but there is no word on their standard consumer line of CPUs, and everyone is hyping them up to be an Intel killer when in reality they have less than half the budget, and haven't made a CPU architecture in 5-6 years.

I see. Now what are your opinions on the Rx 470 would it be a better from the 1050ti, is it worth it?

a fellow vietnamese,

yes the rx 470 is better than the 1050 ti, but a rx 480 is better than a 470 again.

its a cycle, what do you need vs what do you want.

My fellow vietnamese, you're telling me to basically get the Rx 470?

Well, the RX 470 is quite a bit better than the 1050ti, about 20% if I were to estimate.
Not worth the upgrade though.
If you're going to upgrade to ANYTHING i'd save for next gen, the 1050ti is still a good card for 1080p gaming, and givne you don't have the funds for a CPU upgrade at the moment i'd stick with it.
An i5 is the next thing you want, the APU CPUs are very weak.

I'm not sure in your case you will really see any benefits going with the 470 instead of the 1050 Ti. A regular 1050 might be all you need.
