Cheap GPUs for Ryzen 1700 (Gaming)

[mrpowerhouse]

I'm looking to replace my deteriorating Radeon HD 6800 which is now too loud and too hot for gaming (goes up to 115c for somewhat graphic-intensive games), but I dont have enough budget right now for my targeted GPU which is the GTX 1070.

Can you guys recommend a great cheap GPU that I can use for gaming? If possible, my budget is $100 and I'm fine with not reaching Ultra settings. High settings is fine.

Thanks in advance guys

Get the 560 is a bit faster at some of the newer games giving it the edge.

Not really. The 1050 is a bit faster, but they are almost equal. Depends from game to game... http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-vs-AMD-RX-560/3650vs3926

That give weight to speed of GPU core which may mean nothing. Means very little when transfered to game performance.

In most games the 560 hits the dirt. Here is the entire article from which you are selectively pasting... http://www.in.techspot.com/reviews/graphics-cards/the-best-100-entry-level-gpu-radeon-rx-560-vs-geforce-gtx-1050/articleshow/59249184.cms

I selectively posted the important ones that didnt show a tie you mean. As I said some of the newer games give the rx560 the edge. Also the rx560 has only been out 3 months so the drives are less mature compared to the 1050 thats nearly a year old. Then the advantage of freesync cost savings on monitors put the rx560 over the top.

Most of them are current and new games. As suggested, the 1050 is still a better choice as its faster in most titles.

So it's either the GTX 1050 or the RX 560, is it? Thank you guys, I'm able to narrow down the selection.
