Question Which GPU is the better of the two ?

[Blobwingz]

Hello may i ask which is better, the RX 460 4GB or a GTX 950 ? That is because results are quite confusing on benchmark videos of the two, some show that the rx 460 is better, sometimes the 950 is better.

The games i play are War Thunder, L4D2, Fallout 4, Cities Skylines and also GTA 5. I don't know which to choose between the two GPUs.

My pc specs currently are:
-Ryzen 3 4350G
-16GB 3200MHZ
-500 Watts 80+ white PSU
Basic specs it may help thanks.
Also they are both currently the same price on the listings I see.

Very similar https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-rx-460-strix-oc/24.html
depends on resolution if you benefit from the 4GB on the 460

both are bad options for you

1050ti is the very least you can do for yourself

an amd from 2xx series with a 256bit mem and a 4 GB buffer is ideal and cheap
its sure to perform above the cards listed above and its just received a driver update like two weeks ago.

Ok uhh what about this GPU the RX 580 2048SP which is abit expensive that those 2 above but hey its guranteed faster than a 1050ti though

much faster! if it is an option for you price wise then dont hesitate
the difference between what I listed/you listed vs the rx570... thats what a 580 sp is with a 10% overclock
is basically night and day

I was completely happy with my 570

Can't give any recommendation on a GPU that requires supplementary power without knowing exact details of the PSU, which does not sound like a quality unit.

For sure but 500 watts seems right paired with that cpu... I assumed they were new.. "user edit" foolish I suppose.
seems like a good match dont ya think assuming the whole system is 4350 dont ya think?

570> 1650>280x>1050ti>9600>460

IMHO

If it's a junky 500W unit, then it doesn't seem right or like a good match. That's why we ask these questions. Thermaltake and Cooler Master alone have sold enough horrible, cheaply made, group-regulated 500W 80 Plus rated PSUs to fill an entire graveyard with GPUs.

I've run a 570 on a lot less than those stated specs. Still you are certainly right.

Actually have a CORSAIR CV450 80+ Bronze which might be fine i mean its a 450 watt psu. But i saw people slapping a RX580 to a system with a psu similar to mine

I personally wouldn't, but it's your risk. But it's certainly better than the typical 500W White PSU would be.
