How much of performance gain from 1050 ti to a RX 480 4GB?

[Oliver_16]

How much of a performance gain will I get upgrading to a RX 480 or 470 both 4gb since in my microcenter store has like a 5-10 dollar difference.

I'm pairing it with a i3 6100.

I only have $200 to spend for a new guy.
I will be gaming in 1080p targeting at high to ultra presets.

Both 470 and 480 well be much better for your rig compared to 1050Ti. You can't play at ultra in your i3 6100.

Going from GTX 1050 Ti to RX 480 is about 75% increase in performance (http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-AMD-RX-480/3649vs3634).

The RX 480 is one of the top cards in 1080p/60Hz/Ultra gaming. I'd highly suggest if budget permits to get the 8GB version for more VRAM.

However, your i3-6100 is a relatively weak CPU compared to the graphics power of the RX 480. Your CPU **might** bottleneck the highest possible performance of the GPU especially in CPU-intensive games. Though if you are looking to upgrade your CPU in the future (to, say, an i5 or i7), then it would be the best pairing.

You can get the RX 480 8GB version (instead of the 4GB, for more VRAM) for about ~$200:

You'll get FPS boosts of up to 25-27 with an RX 480 4GB, compared to a GTX 1050 Ti if the CPU isn't bottlenecked.

your cpu is not fast enough for ultra

borderline on high


you need an i5 to pair with a 480


it should support an i5 7500 after a mobo bios update

double check mobo cpu compatability list
