[SOLVED] Should i buy a GTX 1050 Ti or Wait For RTX 2050 to get released?

[aakarshan]

I am looking to buy a graphics card to play video games on a 1080p screen. Recently RTX 2060 have been released, should i wait for RTX 2050 or buy GTX 1050 Ti. Does all this waiting worth it? Does anybody knows that when it will be gonna get released? Does it will be any soon.

It won't be "RTX" that will end at the 2060 level of performance. Supposedly NVidia will release a GTX1160 sometime around when AMD launches Navi around....April-ish. The GTX1150 may launch around that same timeframe.

Right now, the RX570 generally offers 50% more performance than the GTX1050Ti for the same price.

Actually where do i live AMD Rx 570 is costlier than the Nvidia Gtx 1050ti. Thank you for poining out it though. Let's do hope that Nvidia hopefully will release the 2050/1150 card with Ray Tracing technology. I will buy the 1050ti or 1060 3 GB.

They've admitted/said that ray tracing is only feasible as far down as the RTX2060. It's also costly die space to devote transistors to RT, so there's likely a financial limit to how far down their product stack they can push RT (for this generation). That's where the GTX1160 rumors come in. If AMD's Navi RX3080/3070/3060 end up being as price-competitive as they say, it could be difficult for Nvidia to play ball with RTX cards, so releasing a cheaper GTX chip without those RT resources will allow them to make the same/similar performance available at a lower price point.

You shouldn't buy a 1050ti at all right now. It's honestly not that great of a card for the price unless you are paying 100$ or less. The rx 570 is a significantly better card. The 1050ti is not close in performance to a 1060 or 580, but the 570 is somewhat close to those 2.

It a cheaper version.

The top one performs better and a 1050ti cost 150$, it's just not worth it. It sucks because I see a lot of people ask about the 1050ti because they just don't know how much better a rx570 is. You will pay the same price or less on a 4gb model for significantly better performance

At best a 1050ti is going to perform 30% worse fps than a rx 570, but on average it's going to be more like 50 to 65/70% lower fps. If the 1050ti is getting 47fps the 570 is getting 60+. In some games the 570 actually performs right on par with a 1060, but on average it falls within 20% or so. It's basically a poor man's 1060 / 580. Check this review out before you waste money on a 1050ti.
