RX 560 4gb or 1050ti?

[ohiou_grad_2006]

So coming into a bit of a dilemma.

Just sold my RX 480 8gb on eBay with the current mining craze for close to 400 dollars. We just moved into a new house and I need a lawn mower, so the responsible thing is to sell the 480 and buy that and another video card.

So looking around, I've got a few options. I can get an RX 560 4gb on newegg for about 169 and 4 bucks shipping. Or I can get a 1050 ti for about 220.

I know the ti is the faster card, but I'd it 50 bucks faster? I've seen some used GTX 960 4gb cards for 200, or GTX 970 can be had used around 250.

I game at 1080p, 60hz. If I'm going new, is the ti worth the extra 50 dollars they are asking? Because ideally these should be 120-140 dollar cards right?

Mostly I play world of warships, I may fire up an occasional AAA title, but mostly, I find myself playing world of warships.

Thoughts? Anything I'm missing?

Also, rest of the system is an r5 1600, 8gb of ram, 250gb SSD, 1tb storage, evga 600b power supply.

1050ti , for sure.

It's worth it for +20% performance difference.

I may do that then. I know it won't be as fast as what I have but should do ok.

I could go used, but with so many cards being used for mining the new card may be a safer bet.

New would be my choice too.

If you can wait for a bit long, then maybe the prices will come down since cryptos are crashing, but it's not for sure the prices are going to come down. If they do then you should buy the GTX 1050 to. Rx 560 is somewhat close to a 1050 and maybe even lower. The 4gb v ram doesn't improve that much over the 2gb 1050. So if you want 1080p 60 fps on most games, GTX 1050ti. But if you're mostly going to be playing world of warships then even a 750ti is more than enough. For aaa games 1050 can run them at low settings 60 fps and only costs 150 I guess.
1050ti is only 13.5 percent faster than 1050 and 70 dollars more costly. So your choice

Still waiting for eBay to release my money in a day or 2. But I'm still between the 560 4gb or 1050ti. The 1050 is an ok card but at this point I think a 2gb card is really a waste. I know I've seen videos of low vram warnings on some games with the 1050. So even if the 560 is only as strong as that, I think the extra 2gb is worth it. I've had both types of cards, it seems like AMD cards are better as the drivers mature. But I'm probably leaning toward the 1050ti unless the prices are too high. That is if I can't score some killer deal on a 1060 3gb or so.

If you want something more than 1050ti and less than 1060 price then Rx 470 is always an option

I looked but unfortunately they are selling for around the 325 mark. Since I do need to use a chunk of the money for a lawn mower, and I only got 365 for my 480 then a 470 is out unfortunately.

So I guess a 1050ti it is if can score one around 200 or just over. Unless I just come across some other deal I can't pass on.

Yeah 1050 ti would be perfect

So to add finality, ended up ordering a 1050ti. Found one for 209 so that seemed like a good deal.

You did the right thing and that's a steal you got it for 200

I know. Newegg actually has that price at the moment. Some of the other sellers even on newegg are toward the 260 or higher mark.
