[SOLVED] Need gpu

[Johnmac86]

Hi I'm looking at upgrading my 1050ti card, just wondering are they any good cards out their worth the current prices? Cheers

Depends what you have to spend, and what system you are plugging it into.

RTX3060 at retail, around $350-400 isn't terrible. 3060Ti at around $500 is edging up into 1440p territory. When you start looking at the big cards, might as well head straight to RTX3080 and up if you have cash.

RX6900XT are also competitively priced compared to Nvidia, at least in that price category.

As for scalper prices, no not worth it. Better off looking at used RTX2070 and GTX1080/1070Ti

Also it depends on what your PSU can safely handle.

Hi thank you for quick reply am currently using MSI mpg z490 gaming edge with evga 600w psu and a i5 10600k.

Not sure what am going to spend yet but I'd rather spend abit but coz of the prices I don't want to spend a fortune if theirs no value for what am getting.

Just trying to way up my options at the min

Honestly, I would recommend getting a better quality PSU first. Those 600w Evga are not very good, and won't hold up well against a powerful GPU. Your CPU can handle any card on the market, especially once overclocked.

Thank you , what would you recommend say 1000w ?

My short list, particularly with high power potential CPUs like Intel under boost.

550W for RX6600
650W for RTX3060/3060Ti/6600XT
750W for RTX3070/3070Ti/3080/6700XT/6700
850W for RTX3080Ti/3090/6900XT/6800

Those are all minimums. Best to go 100 over. (Don't look at me, not planning on overclocking my GPU, and it is water cooled)

Wattage isn't as big of an issue, as the quality is.

For instance, this PSU is far better than what you have now.

Which PSU to get will depend on what GPU you want, and are willing to pay for.
