Wondering if buying the 1050ti over the 1050 is worth it.

[joleske1738]

Im on a $800 dollar budget. I have everything ready to go, but i'm wondering if I should return the 1050 for a 1050ti.

My pc specs

i5 7400
1tb hd
8g ram
gtx 1050
I will be playing cs go, rainbow six seige, and planet coaster. Please let me know if upgrading to the 1050ti from the 1050 is worth it when money is tight. Thanks xD.

Yes it is. Also are your $800 budget for CPU, RAM, Mobo and GPU or so you also need other parts? Or did you already buy the parts?

I am using Ironside. I can still change my order. I'm just not sure if it's worth it. Would you think it would make a BIG difference.

This is a much better system assuming that you only need CPU, RAM, mobo, HDD and GPU.

The problem is on ironside that goes over my budget. How many fps could i get with a 1050ti i57400

 

[Kasper Jorgensen]

Depends on which game and which settings and which resolution.

maybe its just me but I would buy the I5 7500 over the I5 7400 I also put 16GB of ram in the system at min. since more more games are using more than 8GB of ram

for cs go and rainbow six seige high settings.

CS:GO is very CPU dependent, get the strongest CPU you can afford.

How about rainbow six seige?

a 1050 ti with an i5 7400 can easily run both of those games very well

I think the 1050 Ti is worth it. Not just for the extra memory, although that's a big plus, but you'll want the extra performance for newer games. I'd rather use a dual core with hyperthreading and a 1050 Ti than a quad core with a 1050 for 1080p gaming in newer games.

If you don't mind playing at low settings, or at lower framerates, or possibly at 900p, then I think the 1050 is workable. It's also true that newer games can be very CPU dependent but the thing about being on a budget is you can't have everything. You will have to compromise somewhere. That being the case, I'd sacrifice a bit of CPU power for more graphic power for gaming.

Those Ironside systems are way way way overpriced.
