Currently i'am running Gtx 650 1gb..thinking of upgrading to gtx 1050 ti. What would be the performance difference ? Could i play upcoming AAA games with decent settings at 60 fps at 1080p !?
Or any other GPU suggestion? What if i get gtx 780 ti in decent price too ?

That helps. I...


First off I'd like to welcome you to our forum 😀 . Always happy to have another member. Now, let's see what we can do to help you.

The 1050 would be better suited. Newer architecture, better driver support, better features overall, better electrical efficiency. It however won't perform at the 780Ti's level. BUT with 4GB of Vram higher resolutions won't tax the card so much should you choose the 1050Ti. Absolutely yes to the 60FPS at 1080P with the 1050. BUT with varying settings. Not going to be able to max out all settings with the 1050 and still maintain 60FPS at 1080p. Definitely high settings to ultra on some titles. If I was faced with the choice I would choose the 1050ti. BUT(yes, another one) I would have to play the waiting game and see some real world performance. Some cards come out of the gate handicapped or buggy. Just make sure you are are of warranty responsibilities. I could say the 1050 would be at least 25% better than the 650, and I would be safe saying that witout worrying about misleading or misinforming but that would be dry benchmark figures. Only with boots on the ground can intel be confirmed.

 


Currently i am having kinda noob specs 😛
Gpu : gtx 650 1gb Gigabyte OC
Ram : 6 gb DDR 2
Cpu : Core 2 quad q9505 2.8Ghz non.oc
Machine : HP 7900
I will upgrade to whole new pc ... Not just only GPU
 


 


I still suggest the 1050 Ti that can be transferred to your new build. That 780Ti performance may be handicapped by that CPU. The 1050 "fits" better.
 


Bro, i amgoing to build new PC !!
What about these specs ?

CPU : i7 3770
Ram : 8 Gb DDR3
I would need motherboard suggestions too for 3rd Gen cpu !!
I got GTX 780 ti offer for 220 USD .. What do you think ?
 


That helps. I didn't know WHEN that upgrade would happen. https://www.amazon.com/Intel-DZ68DB-Desktop-Motherboard-LGA-1155/dp/B0052WE4OY/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1477007812&sr=1-5&keywords=socket+1155+motherboard&refinements=p_72%3A1248879011 .

That's just too close. For a $30 more https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-06G-P4-6161-KR/dp/B01IPVSGEC/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1477008045&sr=8-5&keywords=1060%2B6GB&th=1 can be yours. Those two card on par with each other but with 6GB higher resolutions favor the 1060, easily.

Up to you man. I'd be more comfortable with a modern GFX card.

GTX 780 Ti can be found on Ebay for under $220, but GTX 1060 3GB can be bought new for less.

The 1050 Ti would fit your current rig nicely and be an easy upgrade.

All depends on how much you want to spend. You would need a nice power supply to go with a 780 Ti.
 


Wise money says do not spend 150 bucks for 25% performance boost, but that is a subjective decision. You may feel a bit of difference but not a WOW effect. If I were to choose, I would either go for a higher upgrade or wait for at least 50% performance boost to be fall within budget range.
