[SOLVED] What gpu should I get?

[Peiguy]

My system specs as of right now are :
Ryzen 3 2200g
MSI B350M Gaming Pro
1 x 8 DDR4 Crucial Ballistix 3200MHz (Planning to buy second stick sometime in the future)
1Tb HDD (unsure of specific model)
Corsair CX550 (Non-modular version)
Corsair Carbide Series Spec-04 TG

I have a budget of $150-$230

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

gtx 1050Ti 4gb or rx 570 4gb would be your best bet

He can still go with 1060 gtx, he'll probably get a little bit of a bottleneck but its still way better than a 1050TI and worth the price.

I'm also planning on upgrading the cpu to a 1700 or an 1800x

Well then a 1060 should work just fine with you a 6GB, but an advice you should consider changing that power supply, to a better quality one the old CX series power supplies are kinda crap you should be looking into a better one.

No, not a 1050 Ti, as it offers far less performance than an RX 570, while typically costing more in recent months. The only advantage the 1050 Ti has is low power draw that can enable it to run on low-end 300 to 350 watt PSUs often found in prebuilt systems, but even for that it no longer makes sense, as Nvidia just released the newer GTX 1650, which offers a bit more performance (though still about 10% less than an RX 570) with similar power demands as the 1050 Ti.

Also, I would likely pass on a 1060 at this point as well. The 1060 3GB offers similar performance to an RX 570 on average, while typically costing a fair amount more, at least going by current US pricing. The 1060 6GB performs similar to an RX 580, but again, usually costs a bit more, and again, Nvidia has recently released a newer card in its place, the GTX 1660 6GB, which offers up to around 20% more performance than a 1060 6GB or RX 580, with prices starting around $220 in the US. The prices of the 1060 6GB are too close to those of the 1660 6GB to be worth considering.

Going by current US pricing, I would go with either an RX 570 for around $130-$140 at the budget end of the spectrum, or move up to an RX 580 8GB for around 15% more performance if you can find one for around $170-$180. Or, move up to a GTX 1660 6GB for around $220, which should be around 20% faster than an RX 580/1060 6GB, or around 40% faster than an RX 570/1060 3GB. For running new game releases at 1080p resolution with high graphics settings, the 1660 6GB will remain relevant the longest, and the RX 580 8GB is probably the minimum to consider at this point.

Also, I would absolutely look for a dual-channel kit of RAM rather than a single stick, as that can notably hurt performance on Ryzen.

 

[iMatty]

Eitherways, you cant just judge based on the US pricing, as it is different in each country local shops what so ever.
None the less, i agree with you but still, he has to change the power supply none the less, the RX 570 is a power hungry card and that cx 550 might fail on him if its been used for awhile.
and yeah a dual channel kit would be much better for ryzen like a 16gb or something.

Hlow about sapphire rx 570 -580 ?

Hlow about sapphire rx 570 -580 ?

Not sure how I feel about sapphire cards

 

[iMatty]

A friend of mine has sapphire card, is not a bad card to be honest but as the guy before me said that a 1060 is a better card than an RX 570 but its more expensive.
Only problem i see in sapphire cards that they run quiet worm ish.
